This is like, role reversal for a Self team. Threes keeping them in it while the other team DOMINATES down low...
Another lay-up btw
CB should be good from the line too, nerves?
Hopefully Marcus can avoid injury this year.

Fuck that shot
Grosssss. Kispert is such a good college player.
Remember when Bill said Dave was a potential AA? I lol'd.
Make KU dunk again:
Can Sydney Curry play the 2nd half? Asking for a friend.
Horrible sequence for Dave
OKAY TRISTAN
Okay so things got better when they calmed down and started defending. WEIRD.
@BeddieKU23 said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
David
Stop missing
Gotta make shots like that if you are going to take them...
David nooo
So, talk is cheap, actions talk. Bryce is the back-up PG not Harris.
I have almost no doubts Bryce will be one of the top 4 guys by the end of the year assuming no injury.
Imagine not starting Bryce.
@BeddieKU23 said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
Thompson needs to look to score. Green Light him
Bryce is good, just needs a wee bit of time. Good shooter, NBA work ethic.
@DCHawker said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
Lightfoot actually playing better D on Timme than Dave, although I realize that's not saying much...
Lightfoot is our best defensive post player by miles. Offense is his issue.
@Kcmatt7 said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
@BShark p***y at the rim. Reminds me of Svi
I mean, he wants to get there, he actively tries to do it. He will keep getting stronger, just something to keep an eye on because as a SR he could be amazing.
If Braun ever figures out how to finish at the rim he will be a stud.
Gonzaga can name their score tbh
Oh look another dunk. Even KSU's shit bigs might punk this team tbh.

Snaring hasn’t been in yet right? Not exactly a bite of confidence in his development
Who?

@BShark said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
Honestly, play a zone. Eff it.
This team may have to.
That or full court press. We have the bodies to do that.
Maybe some of both and play 10 guys might work.
Honestly, play a zone. Eff it.
Dave is just not a good interior defender period. Problematic.
@nwhawkfan said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
They're contesting every one of our shots, while we're playing matador defense.
Pretty awful yeah.
Imagine not offering Drew Timme when he wanted an offer.
Reminds me of the Kentucky game, you know which one.
@DCHawker said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
Throwing up weak ass shots on drives against their bigs...
Seems not smart
Jalen looks really bad in particular. The fact that he was in contention to start (and got the start) isn't great.
Always seem to suck to start the year. Everyone looks so nervous.
Gonzaga shooting over 70%, rebounding it, KU can't make anything. :/
Yeah this game is not going to end well. Might lose by 20+.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
So Marcus, Agbaji, Braun, Jalen, Mac?
Yes.
Confirms what I thought. Braun was locked into a starting spot a little bit ago, other 3 were obvious.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Gonzaga Game Thread:
Over whom?
It's been up in the air. Bryce was in contention as well. Kinda need the size against the Zags, hopefully Jalen does well.
Definitely handcuffed right now. The good thing is Self is a pretty good evaluator.
@BeddieKU23 I actually like this class a lot. Last year was concerning but might work out. Overall I think we will see college hoops with less talent going forward.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
Hope he works out here.
Definitely a traditional big.
I think it will, Bill will love the way he rebounds and blocks. He claims to be 6'9'' now, so maybe he is 6'8'' :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Some good quotes in here!
"Just talked with new #KUbball commitment Sydney Curry... He said he's known since June he was coming to Kansas but wanted to wait until the season rolled around to announce it.
“It was a no-brainer," he said. "Coach Bill Self and the program speak for themselves.”"
After landing two forwards in the class during the early signing period, the Jayhawks moved their focus to landing a more traditional big man who could help to bang and compete on the low block, and they did that in the junior college ranks with Curry.
Since getting to John A. Logan Community College, Curry has transformed his body, gotten more mobile and more athletic which has helped him to compete at a higher level and also produce very well.
“Great kid works extremely hard, obviously extremely talented,” head coach Kyle Smithpeters said. “As we refer to him, he's a version of Ben Wallace. He just plays extremely hard, rebounds outside of his area, obviously, a presence offensively, defensively. I find it hard to believe there's too many better prospects in the country than Sydney Curry being 19 years old and looking the way he does and as athletic as he is and the way he moves. He presents a lot of intangibles and tools that most people at his age don't have.”

I'd say we aren't getting Aidoo.

I think Gonzaga wins fairly easily due to their good bigs.
