Slog possession with a trash make. Nice...
@BeddieKU23 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
I would just like to see more dominant effort. These wins the last two will not beat any of the 3 foes we face to start big 13 play. Hopefully the next month we see some growth
Yeah it will be hard with what is likely to be erratic sub patterns. If Bill managed these games like UK we would look excellent but might as well not run our best players into the ground.
Don't let the announcers fool you about NDSU. Creighton just had a bad game. NDSU got ran by Nubs.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2nd Exhibition Game Thread:
Hopefully they get after it a little more today
Yeah idk, this team is about as bad as Washburn. I expect our good players to play well, and the bench players to again not be great. Hopefully Self can get away with similar experimenting though, I want to see more Gethro.
Same starting 5.
lols
Should have a shot, this NDSU team is pretty bad.
We good.

@approxinfinity said in Harris, Thompson, Braun, Wilson, Clemence:
Wilson can't jump, at least as far as he has shown. There's no way if Devon can't get drafted will the league draft a OAD that can't jump
This. I think he has a good foreign career ahead of him, it will just depend on his priorities for when he wants to get started on that.
@StLJhawk said in Washburn Game Thread:
This was my first time to watch this year and my main takeaway was being surprised how slowly Dave moved. Whether it was hustling up the court, or the slow reaction as his man blew past him, it was kind of painful to watch.
Yea I know that we were used to Doke, and yea I know it’s early in the year. But he’s a junior and I don’t see much upside besides him being tall.
Of course I’ve been completely wrong about guys before, hopefully I will be about him too! Maybe he can at least get in better shape and run harder. Small ball anyone?
Lots of diamonds in the rough elsewhere, tho, but we all know how much Bill likes his big men - must be hard for him too.
And since this is my first post his season, let me just get it out of system just this once and I won’t bring it up again... DAMMIT, WE HAD THE TEAM LAST SPRING TO BRING HOME THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THIS COVID THING SUCKS BIG TIME.
Sorry for yelling, I’ll go back to quietly liking posts.
Dave has not been good and is definitely slow but he hurt his knee and ankle against Kentucky so that can't be helping.
Line-up that starts in the national championship game next season after Bill makes the move to start Zach mid season.
If Ochai is back, slot him in there for most likely Bryce.
@DCHawker said in Washburn Game Thread:
Ichabods are tough on D - held us to 1 less than we scored on the #1 team....
:face_with_tears_of_joy: :face_with_tears_of_joy:
Jossell can shoot, that was smooth.
:)
Maybe Bryce can hit a ft now
Tyon should have made the easier pass.
@DanR Hopefully Bill likes what he is seeing, I think the kid has some tools.
GETHRO CAN SCREEN
Jossell and Teahan time!
Tyon so hurt he can't dunk, and trust me he is a DUNKER when healthy.
Um...CB....wyd
That was just a great make by Washburn
Ochai smooth
@DanR said in Washburn Game Thread:
We should have had 12 players in double digits scoring
The problem is our deep bench loll
@BeddieKU23 said in Washburn Game Thread:
Starters back in
Literally right after my post about Bill being kind lol.
DAVID PASSED IT BACK OUT. I SAW IT. IT HAPPENED.
Bill being EXTREMELY merciful with 2nd half line-ups.
@BeddieKU23 Easy decision. Plus I might watch some other games when bored.
@Bosthawk said in Washburn Game Thread:
Harris a four year player I’m assuming..,
Thank god for us. Self and staff found another gem guard
MAYBE FIVE YEARS
Gethro is so raw but you can see the potential. Foul machine atm.
Nice Tyon
Gethro just defended better than Dave. I can't even.
GETHRO LIVES!
That is Bryce's shot.
The line-up with Tristan and Mitch is bad at defense? No way
@DCHawker said in Washburn Game Thread:
Not able to watch, but I note that Dave not only leads the team in scoring - it's Washburn, of course - but has finally recorded a block and an assist - 3-1/2 games into the season...
We aren't going to talk about his defense though.
Not seen much Jalen this half, assume that is just Bill being merciful.
Yeah, not ideal but KU had to quickly get a game scheduled.
Bryce is crafty, even if he did miss that.
LMAO
Bryce!
@BeddieKU23 Bryce also just stationary dribbled for a loooong time to start the possession.
Bill puts in line-up with Tristan, Bryce and Mitch
Also Bill angry timeout
@BeddieKU23 said in Washburn Game Thread:
The next evolution in CB game is around the rim. He gets that down and he's unstoppable
I've been mentioning this a lot. If he gets that down, he's all league easily.
Also don't get me wrong, totally fine with Bill doing this against Washburn. It's informative.
