We were not able to utilize our three most talented players. As excuses go, pretty valid.

We are so offensively challenged in certain matchups — Garrett and Mitch excel in certain matchups but not others. Agbaji going in the tank has been a killer.

@BShark So you’re saying Charlie Moore might not be that good?

Something like that.

And I agree about Agbaji. Him just being a respectable shooter did big things for the team. The team can't afford him being a non-factor because that makes too many zero impact offensive players in the rotation.

@cragarhawk I mean we know Charlie isn't good, and foul trouble kinda forced Bill's hand but it would be a real game changer next year if McBride is a capable back-up or Garrett takes a big step forward. Just something to prevent Charlie from getting minutes. Garrett HAS to get his shot to a respectable level if he continues to get huge minutes.

Leaving this nugget here

34 minutes Dotson played the score was 67-65 ISU 6 minutes Dotson didn’t play the score was 12-2 ISU.

@FarmerJayhawk I can't help but ponder the record with Doke.

And look it's not Garrett's fault that he plays as much as he does.

cragarhawk said:

4 seed isn't awful for this group. If you consider the body of work since Dokes went out it's probably actually a gift

I also bumped the 13-8 thread! lol

I think this ends up at 16-10.

Good thing self signed bucket getters. Too bad he will still play guys that can't shoot in front of them

I bumped the Marcus Garrett thread recently fyi.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Well. After tonight we'll be ranked about 150th in 3-point percentage in D1. When our legs are rested we should probably work on that.

Probably amazing the season is as successful as it was considering that. And this team would still be really damn good with Doke. :'(

Couldn't hit a three to save our lives

This was the game today. 3-18

Haters will hate, but this has been a horrible season for KU. This team just has little to no identity.

Couldn’t agree more. Losing Doke hurt that. Without him this team does nothing well.

Is Dedric inefficiently scoring against athletic defenders an identity?

Bosthawk said:

Damn .
I can only hope we have a good run in the tourney...
but this team are flawed, and not sure Self has figured out what to do with these guys.

Even my faith In Self is shaken. Seriously

This whole season has really thrown me for a loop. I look forward to KU ball all damn year, and now I’m really struggling

Talk about major disappointment

Damn

This wouldn't be the first season that felt like Self was throwing things at the wall hoping something would stick.

At least to me, the 15/16 season felt like that for sure.

cragarhawk said:

@Texas-Hawk-10 okay. Well I personally disagree. But you can stay. And you don't even have to shut up. How's that?... Smh

Of course you do because all you know how to do is shit on 18-20 year old kids.

This circle jerk here is why I didn't login for a year.

Doesn't get like this too often. Rarely on game threads especially for which I'm thankful. I can guarantee there's other similar sites right now where WW3 is starting for about the 28th time this season.

I guarantee the phog is unreadable right now.

And by shockingly I mean...well...you know...

@BeddieKU23 Shockingly, it's Higgins.

BeddieKU23 said:

F u refs

Hard to even blame Dedric for being mad when he gets mugged with no call frequently.

Wow! Can't believe that went in for ISU! Swap that and the Grimes 3 and it would be REALLY interesting.

Might have got slightly interesting if Q hit that. Just a terrible game from three today for KU,.

Garrett with 14 rebounds wow

Looked like a flop but w/e.

Damn, can't do that Dot.

cragarhawk said:

Shit.. might be the dagger

Oh it definitely is. At least KU kinda tried there for a bit.

Lawson just stands there

Won’t have worry about that next year.

Yeah but the scary part is who will be playing his position next yr

Mitch is the worst case scenario and honestly I don't hate it. Though of course I'd love to see a stud added.

Hell I miss TRob and Tyshawn even.

cragarhawk said:

Not very poised is as much of it as anything. And taking off too many plays... Gotta effort all the time to win

I miss Frank.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Their legs are fine. These are 20-year olds. Iowa St has played 3 straight games too by the way. What they lack is effort and shooting ability.

Sad to say this is it. And look, who knows where this team is with the same sequence of other events without Dedric, probably pretty bad, but man, I'm honestly not going to be sad to see him go.

If anyone wants to watch a fun game, Wichita State is tied up with Cincy with 3 minutes to go. WSU needs to win their tourney to get into the NCAAT.

This is a first weekend exit squad.

Woodrow said:

KU didn’t make a shot the last 7:47. Wow

Can we sneak Braun and McBride into the game somehow?

Need Dotson back in big time.

Yeahhhhhhhh

BShark said:

Good lord Dedric is awful today

Which player is playing well?

Not Dedric or Garrett.

Good lord Dedric is awful today

Lol at that weak ass flop

freeeee throooows are hard

@kjayhawks Dedric is 2-7 so yeah

BeddieKU23 said:

God making layups is like hitting half court shots

Good gameplan from Bill bad execution so far.

wissox said:

Hilton South?

Major vomit inducing comment.

lol

lol at Jacobson hitting a three

Should easily be up at least 4 right now with good passing.

Passing not so hot today.

ISU fans looooove this tournament. Looks like more ISU fans than KU fans here.

Maybe Fran will get the player names right today.

I would want absolutely no part of SHU in the NCAAT.

@dylans Appears to have been yeah.

I just hope he gives full effort like that again, and he isn't worried about getting hurt.

jayballer73 said:

We out rebounded them by 10 - - that's a good job after the way they pounded Tech on the boards

Grimes REALLY got after it on the boards tonight. Hope he will be okay.

truehawk93 said:

Thoughts on ISU? They are streaky sneaky.

They are very good when engaged. They had a rough stretch where, if you believe whisperings, Prohm lost the team.
