🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Lots of Big 12 games today, but not easy to view. W Virg/Tx 11am on ESPNU; Baylor/I St. 1pm ESPNU and KSt/Ok 7pm on ESPNU. So I guess ESPNU is the channel to have today.

Jayhawks v. George Mason is on ESPN+, which I'm glad I broke down and paid for during football season. KU is a 19.5 favorite and GM lost to Nevada recently 88-69. So, is anyone worried KU takes these guys too lightly? The starting 5 are all seniors and juniors. I saw some grumbling about season ticketholders having to buy tickets for today's game. Bad weather and students off campus may result in a quiet AFH. My new year's wish is for another offensive show like the Nevada game. RC.

Ya gonna watch all three on ESPNU. - - WV no match for Texas - -Huggie is without Sherman and their other top player and down 39-20 at the half - Planning on watching Iowa State Baylor see exactly how serious to take Iowa St. They have done well but today is THE TEST. - -see if they can keep it under 20

A lot of empty seats in Austin. I sure hope our fans get to Allen and raise a ruckus.

Remy might not play today, knee injury.

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Remy might not play today, knee injury.

When does Bobby get back?

@KirkIsMyHinrich Probably not for another week at least. Going to see a fair bit of Joe today I imagine.

Yikes without remy

Anyone already at the fieldhouse? Just wondering how many fans will brave the weather.

So basically last year's team with Yes instead of Marcus today.

Too much snow for me to even consider it.

Is the weather in Lawrence bad?

@BeddieKU23 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Yeah this will be...interesting if he can't go.

NOT PLAYING

I remember him going down hard in the last game after banging knees with someone. Wonder if it’s from that.

Damn

This has to be it. Looked rough live.

They did an MRI already, it was negative so this is precautionary.

Wilson starting

Remy knee swelled after game so holding out. Hopefully it's nothing

@BeddieKU23 See my previous post

We good.

Happy New Year everyone.

Looking forward to today's game against...um...let's see...(YOUR NAME HERE).

Happy New Year all!

Let's go today and start the year with a win!

It's not that bad. It snowed 10 inches where I live.

I still have a red Keith Langford jersey.

I don't like giving up a wide-open 3 to double the post.

Nice, CB

Dave needs to shoot that...

can I just say that I really loathe these games on ESPN+ .. I'm getting off my cable plan soon. It has sucked the last few years to pay for premium cable and not get games.

Not an ideal start, GM getting great looks.

Over-helping on drives leading to wide open 3's is not the way to go

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Not an ideal start, GM getting great looks.

I'd say pretty ugly start. And Dave being Dave on both ends....

I prefer the 4 guards and ball pressure. Don’t like Wilson/Dave combo

It’s been fine with Remy I suppose, but still like our starting lineup the best. Give Joe a shot early and see if he can get going

KU guards still giving the 3 pt shooters way too much space. KU really doesn't defend the 3 in the first half; the only defense is the 70% chance the shooter misses.

@Kcmatt7 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

It’s been fine with Remy I suppose, but still like our starting lineup the best. Give Joe a shot early and see if he can get going

Our offense has been more than fine for the most part. And, it's not just Remy - it's that we've had 2 real ball handlers on the court most of the time. Better ball movement and fewer turnovers.

Why do we help off of Corner shooters so quickly/easily?

guard the 3 pt line ffs

I was actually thinking about defense more than offense. The D has been better with 2 guards pressuring the ball

Mitch the automatic scorer in the paint.

We are SO SLOW defensively with the JWill Dave combo

Mitch just gets it and goes up. Dave gets it, waits, trips, steps on a rake, and then takes a tough shot.

Mitch taking over !

Mitch “Wilt” Lightfoot

Mitch 4-4 - rest of the team 2-7....

Ugly so far. I don't see urgency

Good look for Och, those will go in more often than not.

JCL has to start making shots though, he is a net negative if he can't make shots.

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Good look for Och, those will go in more often than not.

The transition 3 from JCL too. I want as many transition 3's as we can get tbh

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Yeah he's missed too many wide open shots

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

I would settle for just slightly less than more often than not... ;)

JCL's biggest issue is on ball defense. He can't keep guys in front of him which limits his minutes.

Och on the bench, danger time

There’s JCL. Just needs some rhythm

Harris, Dave, Jalen in at the same time. meh

Starters Harris, Wilson and McCormack 0 points so far

HAPPY NEW YEAR
RCJH
GO KU

DANGER

Bobby would be very useful rn

Assume we will see Yesufu now...

@FarmerJayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Definitely

JCL

This lineup intrigues me

Dave getting stripped for no reason. Drink!!

Get em JWill

@FarmerJayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Dave getting stripped for no reason. Drink!!

I choose life

put some gawdam sticcum on big daves hands

@jessejayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

put some gawdam sticcum on big daves hands

The ball already sticks in his hands too much for my liking.....

JCL very bad on defense back to back possessions

@DCHawker I agree

CB come on down

Bill not happy with Joe......

JWill ya gotta block out

Well this sucks. Where are Braun and Ochai? Braun 5pts Ochai 3

Ball movement much better for GM than KU - getting much better looks....

That post pass is only there if we get ball reversal and then throw it quickly to the post. It doesn't work if we just try to throw it after standing around, because there is help waiting underneath.

@DCHawker said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Ball movement much better for GM than KU - getting much better looks....

Not surprised given the line-ups sadly.

No consistency

I would much prefer Jalen to focus on getting rebounds and getting a few put backs than shooting 25-30 footers...

Och what is you doin

@DCHawker amen

Air ball🤦‍♀️

JALEN AT CENTER ALERT

@DCHawker and driving

@FarmerJayhawk Good

Was KU in a zone on that last possession?

Points<defense...JCL

Ochai hasn't been nearly as aggressive going to the basket recently as he was the 2-3 games of the year....

This lineup with 3 shooters and Jalen at the 5 needs to happen more

Wait Jalen at the 5 works..? Well deck me with a feather

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

This lineup with 3 shooters and Jalen at the 5 needs to happen more

Agree. Not like our defense is any good with Lightfoot or Dave.

@DCHawker said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

GMU has been specifically trying to clog the paint as much as possible.

It's also not like Dave or Mitch (although Mitch has been fine today) are great low-post players either.

@Texas-Hawk-10 15-0 bench points

Atta kid Yes

Yes!

Ochai 1-8....

@DCHawker Make that 2-9...

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

It's not significantly better without them either though.

Why aren't we driving more??

@Texas-Hawk-10 Right but the offense wasn't working with Dave in. Lightfoot did have a good spurt.

3 red guys 1 white and the white guy gets the board

The bench is 8-9 right now - carrying the starters.... ;)

Wouldn't mind trying a 4-1 lineup with KJ or Zach at the 5.

HCBS left Yesufu in.

JCL is scoring but still might be a net negative. He is getting abused on the other end.

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

@Texas-Hawk-10 Right but the offense wasn't working with Dave in. Lightfoot did have a good spurt.

I don't disagree with that right now, but you were calling out the defense and I'm saying that line up isn't much better defensively than with Mitch or Dave in right now because Jalen Wilson is the worst defender on this team.

KJ TIME

I love the rock chalk chant, but singing that to yourself while you're pumping gas or about to perform surgery or whatever is a little creepy.

I know, the point being the defense is bad regardless of who is out there.

CB ya gotta shoot that son

Braun needs to take that

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

I know, the point being the defense is bad regardless of who is out there.

So then why change it to the offense when the conversation was specifically about the defense still being shit.

smol beans day

JCL has no conscience

I like this lineup a lot btw

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

I like this lineup a lot btw

🙌

That was so good from Dajuan

KJ "Dennis Rodman" Adams

Way to make up for the mistake!

He got rinsed once, but was mostly positive I feel.

23 bench points: JCL 11, Lightfoot 8. Thank goodness the bench players came to play

Nice close to the half. Good to see bench production....nearly half the points and rebouuds.

WVU only had 39 points 2 minutes into the 2nd half.

Huggy derided his team but said...
This is the easiest place to play
They bring no fans. You can hear conversations in the stands!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Played so much better going 5 guards or using wilson/adams. Love the effort to end the half

Bill said we’re going to have to play small in the second half. New year new Billy Eugene?

(Absolutely not)

How tall is Adams?

West Virginia was without their top 2 players. - -No Sherman can't remember the other dudes name but that is a big hit. Huggy is right, I mean you are at one point Texas up by like 23 and that place was like a morgue dead silent. like a wine and cheese crowd- -their fans are just sad

If Bill hates anything the most, it's losing.

@jessejayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

I think he is 6'7 or 6'8 possibly

@jayballer67 thanks

@jessejayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

How tall is Adams?

Listed at 6'7'' but I am not sure he is taller than CB. He is pretty thick for a frosh though.

@jessejayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

@jayballer67 thanks

no problem

@BShark With his pogo sticks he's close to 6'9 though

Dave's line is 0 shots taken, 1 rb 1 TO. Might as well stayed home and played xbox. Dave only gives effort in 1 out of 3 games.

Wilson 8

CB 7

Och 8

Prison Mitch 8

JCL 11

So our 5 guard lineup is 6'7, 6'7 6'7, 6'5 and who the hell is the little guy on the point?

@stoptheflop said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Dave's line is 0 shots taken, 1 rb 1 TO. Might as well stayed home and played xbox. Dave only gives effort in 1 out of 3 games.

Is argue the effort is always there but the execution is the problem. The ball bounces out of his hands so easily it’s bizarre.

@jessejayhawk Remy/Juan/Yes

OR. 3!
DRB 11

23-0 bench points

That seems like a pretty big "small Lineup"

I will say this much, as far as Jalen defense a ymca player really really bad - he couldn't guard

Chucking the threes this game. Hopefully the percentage improves just a bit in the second half.

Nobody negative +/- but clearly better with the 4 guards.

I think KJ should play more. We are getting out-athleted a bit imo

man-to-man defense is our biggest problem this season, but we might as well be good at offense if we're not going to play defense

Not looking forward to playing Oscar and the cats.

Anyone else sick of the RC Chant commercial that evokes literally none of the things that make the real chant fun?

Love that so many fans got to go for free. There are a lot of families who can’t afford to buy tickets for a game at Allen normally that are in the house today. Gonna be a lot of lifelong Jayhawks made today.

@KirkIsMyHinrich communication on switches has looked rough this game. Saw a couple Braun/yes miscues that led to points. Probably why we need more bench minutes on the regular.

@BShark Kentucky is a must win game, right?

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Not looking forward to playing Oscar and the cats.

Dave might do okay in that match-up. That's one where being slow and lumbering isn't terrible.

@stoptheflop said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

@BShark Kentucky is a must win game, right?

Bill will have them revved up for it, but I think it's a tough match-up.

Classic Bill start

That pass hasn't been there all game.

Why can’t Dave catch the ball?

Oduru is going to find a note with a number to a burner phone in his locker after this game

Rebounding this half though.

Good d

Geez Dave

Mary mother of Jesus David McCormack

Oof

McCormack is so bad

Dave 0-fer from 2 feet...

Dave just flailing around again.

Goaltend but alrighty

Okay can we sub already?

DAVID F***

Please don't play him

Get him out

@Kcmatt7 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Okay can we sub already?

He’s not even getting any kind of position.

Omg

OH MY GOD

lmao

We should be up by 15-20 by now.

BILL FOR THR LOVE OF GOD GO 4 GUARDS

Dave has 0 touch around the rim

Not a good pass by Jalen there, but holy hell Dave

Wtf self

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Awful

@Kcmatt7 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

BILL FOR THR LOVE OF GOD GO 4 GUARDS

Bill was like, you know what we were scoring too much there.

I love that we literally sucked feeding the post in the first half to the point we pulled both Mitch and Dave. But we come out and immediately are like “but what if we tried feeding the post again”

Sometimes I just don't understand

Even when we do throw a good entry pass, he doesn't score. Our offense can't be built around that.

@Kcmatt7 It worked when #44 was in the game

The people cry out for Jalen at the 5

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Even when we do throw a good entry pass, he doesn't score. Our offense can't be built around that.

It's not built around Dave posting up though.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Or KJ or Zach.

Or even Mitch instead of Dave at this point

Missing bunnies to build up our rebounding numbers.

@jessejayhawk he did get 8 pretty smooth points in the first half. But those are I feel like SELF points. Just a guy being tall and doing the right stuff down low as the ball moves for an easy bucket.

He wasn't triple teamed, for one thing. Or playing vs Oduro much, for another.

Our offense is built on passing it to the low post. Trying to get ball reversal and then throw the ball inside. Because our entry passing sucks an because Dave can't make a dunk doesn't mean that's not our strategy.

Letting Mason hang around and getting more confident...

Juan to the rescue

Missing Remy bringing the energy and fun.

Because he often loses the ball before he gets a shot up. Because he only plays 19 minutes a game. Our offense is still a high-low offense where we try to feed the post. What have we been trying to do all game?

Ochai, CB and Dave are 5-24 from the field. Good thing some of the others guys are stepping up...

Scored 6 pts in 8 minutes

GM's 40% from 3 is killing us.

When Dave is in the game you can’t argue that a majority of the effort of the offense is trying to find a way to get him the ball inside. Yeah it’s not working at a high rate but it’s like the first 20 seconds of every possession. Then a guard has to make a play late in the shot clock. He’s also not playing big minutes leading to those low nimbuses. But when he’s in he is the focus.

KU is what, 0-5 or 0-6 from 3 this half? Those will start to go in again.

That's misleading, because he simply fumbles the ball or gets stripped repeatedly. Plus, scorekeepers seem to miss several of his 2 or 3 in a row misses from 2 ft. He's "officially" 0-3 this game, but he missed that many in a 1 minute stretch...

Bill knows basketball.

Again, Dave is averaging less than 7 field goal attempts per game, and since he's not a guy that passes much, that means he's posting up and getting fed at the rate you think he is.

Because he often loses the ball before he gets a shot up. Because he only plays 19 minutes a game. Our offense is still a high-low offense where we try to feed the post. What have we been trying to do all game?

That's misleading, because he simply fumbles the ball or gets stripped repeatedly. Plus, scorekeepers seem to miss several of his 2 or 3 in a row misses from 2 ft. He's "officially" 0-3 this game, but he missed that many in a 1 minute stretch...

Isn't that kind of what I was saying?

JCL shouldn’t come out the rest of the game

@FarmerJayhawk said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Clearly all we needed was checks notes Mitch Lightfoot to get going

Would Dave have finished that dunk?

Even when we do throw a good entry pass, he doesn't score. Our offense can't be built around that.

It's not built around Dave posting up though.

Is it really a shot attempt of a guy is just randomly flailing and the ball happens to go toward the basket?

So, who laid odds that JCL and Mitch would be our 2 leading scorers???

Bad foul call

Bench 14-15....

Starters 10-37....

Great d from Mitch there.

Yes has wheels.

It's clear why Yesufu sits on the bench

JCL is fuego

Old men ftw today

JCL is definitely an upgrade from Tristan. At least for this team.

Tristan played well vs Baylor

@BShark would have to catch the ball first

Reaaaally hate that Bobby got hurt. He is at least a good passer/driver.

@stoptheflop said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Bill alluded to him basically being in his own head. Trying to hard to do what he is supposed instead of just freely playing.

Unfortunate to watch because when he is on and has confidence he can put on a pretty good show

Maybe this let’s Bobby skip all the scouting and gives him a chance to have a big run at the end of the year.

In his defense, I feel like it's hard to free play on a Bill Self coached team.

I will say it is nice that JCL is having a great game on a day when Och and CB plummeted back to earth.

Gotta do ALL the stuff you are supposed to do as a bench player, THEN you can play free. Otherwise he just puts the starter back in. Definitely a tough spot.

JCL WOW

@BeddieKU23 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

JCL WOW

He is in their heads, that GM player ran into him there on the catch.

JCL is 5-6 from 3. Rest of the team is 3-17.

@BeddieKU23 Good rebound

@BShark said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

You don’t miss TGF coming in and laying bricks?

JCL doing exactly what he needs. Give us some buckets when we can’t throw it in the ocean from the dock

Mitch and JCL have outscored the starters 34-28.....

Well if this was the “wait do we need JCL?” Check game, we have our answer. He’s part of the rotation.

@approxinfinity Happy New Year!
Where you been?

I believe yes will have at least one big game this season. He has the tools.

@approxinfinity honestly too many mouths to feed. He’s been neglected imo. Should be getting more minutes over Wilson

Our offensive struggle today starts with Braun's 2/10 7 pts and Ochai's 3/12 8 pts. Thank goodness Coleman-Lands is hot and scores 20 so far

I think the JCL-Enaruna trade was good for both teams.

Hate this lineup

@Kcmatt7 and I wrote that before the turnover

This is such a terrible defensive lineup

CB and Ochai party together last night?

@Kcmatt7 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

This is such a terrible defensive lineup

Not a great offensive lineup either.

JCL can't foul out!

JCL with the effort!! Hope his hip is ok. At his age falls are scary

Mitch really playing good d against an admittedly in athletic big.

Mason is still hanging around. We need a spurt to get some separation...

@Kcmatt7 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Hate this lineup

If we could stop turning it over that would be great.

The d has actually been there. Just haven’t scored in a stretch here.

I'm impressed with GM's effort. They are playing harder, scrappier.

Mitch is workin

Braun can’t make anything today. Just one of those days. Feels like he’s taking good shots.

I was hating on Mitch earlier today, but he's had a good game.

Those free-throws were my fault

Good thing we have Lightfoot and JCL

After scoring 48 points in 20 minutes in the 1st half, we have 18 in 16 minutes this half...

I think I’d like to see yes and Harris play together if we are without Remy another game.

Just god awful this 2nd half

JCL fouled out oh boy

@benshawks08 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

I think I’d like to see yes and Harris play together if we are without Remy another game.

Ditto. Yes seems really uncomfortable running the point.

@BeddieKU23 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

18 points, rancid.

Have any of the starters scored this half????

Didn't expect JCL fouling out to be a factor in the game, but there it is.

Just feel like Harris is a pressure release for the other ball handler. Like a comfort blanket. Not going to take up too much space or control the hall but just move it around and help the flow.

@DCHawker said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Have any of the starters scored this half????

Has anyone?

GM is outscoring us in the second half 22-18. Wow what a lack of effort by KU

Just a note: the last 4 TDs in the Rose Bowl have been 50, 52, 62 and 97 yards.

@RockChalkinTexas you too! Whole family got COVID. It’s been an adventure, we’re fine, I think, but trashed any semblance of a vacation.

We need someone else to step up or we could lose this freaking game...

HUGE 3. Credit Mitch for owning the boards.

Love to see a lob for Och.

Wish dajuan could make defenses pay for wide open 3s

MITCHELL MF LIGHTFOOT

CB should take that

CB and Ochai passed up open looks to let Jalen take from deep...

COUNT IT

@DCHawker said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

CB and Ochai passed up open looks to let Jalen take from deep...

Then again for Harris…

Och & CB finally showing up down the stretch

STUDS CLOSE IN CRUNCH TIME OCHHHH

New year same chant

OMG. Let's hear it louder.

Front coming..supposed to be single digit wind chills tomorrow.
It's 73 now.

Students gone?

How is this 2 shots?

@KirkIsMyHinrich Yes. Why BS wanted it full!

Braun making free throws is. Clutch.

We've just gotten above freezing here for the first time this week after 10 inches of snow. Not used to this.

Yikes game

At Bill Self alma mater on Tuesday. That's never an easy one

If there is a game Tuesday the starters better show up. That was awful

@BeddieKU23 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Yikes game

Burn the tape and move on. Happy to win a game w/o Remy plus CB/Och shooting bad.

Well, it's a win, but not an impressive one. Favored by 20 to a team that lost by that much to Nevada. Hard to know how good this team is as we haven't played anyone other than MSU...

Remember the guy that some thought should never see the floor ? - -well " THAT GUY " - -THAT GUY just saved KU'S ass today

Anyone in the Colorado fires??
🙏

Not too upset at that one. I’m still scarred from watching us shat ourselves against SDSU at the Phog back when. We needed a grinder of a game

A Nevada team that KU rolled (because they shot 54% from the floor). This KU team needs to shoot better to have good results. I know that sounds simplistic but it is even more true with this team because the defense isn't great.

@BeddieKU23 said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

AWFUL - -they have got to get this defense cleaned up. - -Like BShark said earlier today , if anyone was to say Iowa State was better right now - -would have an agrument

I think you can attribute some of this to Remy being out as well. He hasn't been the best on defense, in fact outright bad at times, but he's another guy the opposing defense has to respect. We also weren't able to really do any double pg type looks today. I still love how our starting 5 meshes.

Big game tomorrow for the CHIEFS🧡❤

JCL has his season high, while Enaruna gets 23 for ISU. Fair swap.

Tell me honestly, if teams gave Dajuan the 3 all day right now, what % 3's do you think he'd hit?

@approxinfinity said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Tell me honestly, if teams gave Dajuan the 3 all day right now, what % 3's do you think he'd hit?

17%

Dajuan hit 3-4 3's against Mizzou. Is that repeatable?

@approxinfinity said in Jayhawks vs. Patriots (George Mason that is):

Dajuan his 3-4 3's against Mizzou. Is that repeatable?

He was great against Nevada too. If I'm an opposing coach I am still betting on him missing more often.

Have a great rest of the night!!
Stay safe.

Bobby has covid. No one else positive at this time. Kid can't catch a break

They was talking in post game Coach was saying we got to get playing more. - - -If we start Mitch I'm telling you here and now- - -were in trouble , and that sounds about like what Coach getting ready to do. - -I like Mitch - -alot actually but if he is our starting 5 - - - look out

Well well well.
Obviously my harsh words for JCL in another earlier thread (send him packing!) brought him out of his slump, or whatever you wanna call it.
So, I’d like to take this moment to say BENCH Big Dave. Send him packing!!!
(I expect 30/15 next game)

To quote the great philosopher Jack Sparrow, "then we have an accord?" We expect no less than 30/15 from Dave next game.
