I liked Mitch better when he wouldn’t shoot

Yeah...he's just not a scorer.

@Kcmatt7 said in Must win game tonight:

Everyone say it with me... the offense is better with Harris over Garrett

The dirty little secret is that our offense has been better without Garrett every year he has been here. But he's Jamari on steroids in terms of being a Self favorite.

Wish he would play more. Maybe this game impacts things?

Didn't take long for our defense to look like hot garbage

It can never be good with Dave on the floor. We should consider a zone when playing Dave.

Texas predictably looking like poop against ISU tonight...

Must win game tonight β€’ Jan 06, 2021 01:11 AM

@mayjay said in Must win game tonight:

Particularly interesting from that site is that every KU player had a poor defensive rating in that game (Dave 120, Mitch 116) and that Dave had the highest offensive rating of 133, and he and Wilson were the only ones above average. Mitch's is undefined.

Texas was faster at every position as well as experienced.

Must win game tonight β€’ Jan 06, 2021 01:10 AM

@BeddieKU23 If we weren't already down Bryce I would say I'm interested to see Dajuan. Really hope Marcus can go just because we have so few guards.

Dajuan and Mitch time weeeee.

And yet we're 8 - 2 after playing the 5th toughest schedule in the country.

Didn't expect that little ray of sunshine from me, huh?

Having a HOF coach helps.

Worst Regular Season Losses in the Self Era β€’ Jan 04, 2021 08:42 PM

@BeddieKU23 Rumblings? Edit: NVM seeing it now UGH.

Shooting Woes β€’ Jan 04, 2021 08:41 PM

@BeddieKU23 Apparently when Dave is off the floor (I don't have access to these stats first hand so I'm trusting someone else) this KU team is 51% from 2. That's an insane difference and not just accounting for Dave's misses. It's another 4% jump from that indicating also that the team simply gets better looks in general with Dave out.

Shooting Woes β€’ Jan 04, 2021 08:14 PM

Passing is a huge issue as well tbh.

2p% honestly could end up being the worst in the Self era. Three point shooting is good. Dave being awful is a large part of this. Braun should basically never attempt 2s given his splits (41% from 2, 39% from 3). Jalen is 59% from 2, Ochai 46%. Bryce (45%) and Tyon (54%) have been solid from 2 as well (on lower volumes of course) but can't hit threes for shit, it's a pickle.

For reference Graham was 44% for his career from 2, Mason was 47%. I think it mostly boils down to having no good scoring option inside. David is at 38%, insanely bad for a big. Right now this team is 5% lower than the 14-15 team, and would by the worst in Bill's tenure.

@BeddieKU23 said in Happy new year Texas beatdown chat:

@approxinfinity

When Braun is a non factor this team cannot beat good teams. His good games are great but his bad games, well at least he is a sophomore and will be here 4 years.

He seems to have a mental block against better competition. It isn't all physical imo.

Jericho Sims buckets = easy. Dave buckets = hard.

Dave has been the worst post starter ever under Bill Self. So uh, at least it's historical? This blows though...

We need an actual guard. Marcus almost is, but he is slow. Braun and Ochai are wings. Bryce is injured and also not ready this year. Harris can't play extended minutes. We need Cuffe to reclass badly for next year.

Absolutely need to find a guard who can play day 1. More than anything else. Or Harris has to make a leap I’m not sure he’s capable of.

Yeah there is a reason the staff is desperate to add a guard. Cuffe can do what the staff wants. Drive/penetrate, play defense. Electric athlete at 6'2''.

The weave sucks.

We don't have guys that can get into the lane so Bill reverts to it. Ugh.

Can't buy a three against their defense because we don't have guys that can drive it to lead to good open looks consistently.
