@Kcmatt7 Was it that high? I didn't realize! Maybe the piss poor D against Gonzaga had me longing for something I'd forgotten was so near.
Yeah the defense last year was insane. Second only to UVA only without their shitty pace of play. 6th lowest 2pg % and 3rd lowest overall fg% against in the country thanks to Udoka. Very few teams even cracked 70 against KU last year. Dayton in OT, Texas Tech in a close win, Oklahoma and Iowa State in blow outs.
This team has a lot of grit. CB, Jalen, Marcus, Harris, Ochai all very tough. Marcus playing sick, you can tell he wasn't at his best, but still played big minutes and was okay. Give Bryce some more time, get Tyon healthy. Did Tristan even get in the game today?

Badgers play Marquette Friday. Illinois-Baylor tomorrow night. Huggie/zags tomorrow. Hoops week smorgasbord.
KU WITH A TOUGH REBOUND GAME AGAINST WASHBURN IN TWO DAYS.
Starting center Jalen Wilson.
@jayballer67 Jalen is a decent big.
Harris is an elite defender for his size there I said it.
Thrilled to be extremely wrong about him.
Shot under 30% and won. Self is secretly excited.
Kentucky is 1-2
Win is a win.

If Kentucky makes another garbage ass three...
We should foul tbh...
I don't like that against them - not convinced we could get the RB - or they could tip it back...
Rebounding has been shockingly good!
Mostly CB & JW.
Effort players.

Oh god no it's Ochai
Trash refs
@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:
Well - we're going to have to make a FT. No mean feat for us...
Sigh
Please Ochai please
@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:
F+++ - ball should be in Harris' hands to distribute...
Strongly agree.
Garrett was fouled.
What a trash make for Boston
@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:
CB bailed him out...
No easy buckets in Sir Christian's lane.
OCHAI!!!!
HOLY SHIT HARRIS
@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:
sure wish Christian could hit a shot
He struggles against athletic opponents. People that think he will leave for the NBA have lost it lol.
Think Udoka but only 6' tall.
@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:
If Harris doesn't start this year then I 100% believe Self makes recruiting promises.
I can confirm that he does. Don't think that's at play here though.
@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:
Has anyone seen Dedric Lawson and Jalen Wilson in the same room at the same time?
DONT DISRESPECT JALEN
Clean swipe from Harris.
Trash refs
Ochai missing threes like crazy tonight.
@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:
Jalen goes out and Dave comes in and our little lead has frittered away....
Sadly predictable.
That's game over.
Good lord
@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:
Big Dave is hurt. Well, that changes everything
Double hurt apparently.
Dave to the line, his best spot lol.
@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:
3-29 from three for both teams combined. Ugh.
We sure have missed some great looks too.

Mitch would get destroyed on defense.
I'd try Tristan or Gethro at the five. Can't be worse!
All for telling gethro to rebound and rim run. That's it.
Yep. Put Gethro in, just have him not really touch it on offense. This would literally be better.
Imagine the game turning on a heinous foul call so Jalen had to sit.
Mitch would get destroyed on defense.

Dave brick, surprise!
