Dotson is fouled very frequently. If he sticks around he could be getting to the line a TON as the refs realize it. Ie Mason.

Nice start to half 2
Started the game this way too. But definitely nice to see from Grimes and Dotson.

KJ not playing?
Shocked he hasn't played
Bill Self: I should play KJ more
Also Bill Self: Never plays KJ
Maybe KU will try to play defense in the 2nd half but idk.
Rough loss.
FTs are really hard.
BeddieKU23 said:
Lol that's pathetic call
Suspicious...
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
What the hell are we doing on defense?
Letting Texas shoot.
Perfect encapsulation of why Dave isn't ready yet.
At this point as long as no one gets hurt and KU somehow wins I don't even question it anymore. Just get out of this game with a W.
BeddieKU23 said:
Looks like defensive gameplan was to let them shoot 3s and sure enough they are making then
Bill got tricked again. Texas is a very poor 3pt team but if you don't even try to guard them...
KU 2-6 from the line...
KU deserves to be trailing and they are now. Poor half.
Ugh, Charlie shooting.
Texas up 11-0 in 2nd chance points. Story of the game.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Easily.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Put DMac in.
He's bad but at this point who cares.
BeddieKU23 said:
If we had another option sitting dedric tonight should be a thing
If he isn't contributing offensively he is a net negative.
approxinfinity said:
At this moment we don't need Charlie and Grimes on the floor at the same time.
Or ever.
Honestly Dedric hasn't taken enough shots in this game. Something I almost never say.

Two terrible 3 point shooting teams are 9-19 combined.
Also, KU hasn't turned the ball over yet...
But only up by 3 because we're being out-rebounded 13 to 7.
Yeah, this team can't rebound for shit.

Why even try to rebound tbh.
Yikes. Gotta make fts.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Coleman is 4-4.
Balances out Garrett going off. Kinda funny.
Need Silvio badly for rebounding.
This game is stupid looool
Not sure KU wins if the pace stays like this. Need to clamp down on d.
Marcus Garrett hit a three, take a shot board rats.
Poor Duke is undermanned.
Shorthorns fighting back.
KU up 6-0 early. Grimes and Vick with 3s
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
bail out call lmao
I mean...did you expect ANYTHING ELSE?
ESPN has excuses ready for if Duke loses.
No one will believe it, but Duke has a solid FT advantage in this game. Against a team that plays zone no less.
@FarmerJayhawk Change the ceiling of the team imo. His rebounding is tremendous.
@BeddieKU23 If we are lucky.
Interesting stuff.
@wissox Definitely not starting on ESPN.
It's a good thing KU is hopefully getting football turned around.
@Kcmatt7 Hoiberg doesn't like recruiting, so I'd want no part of him.

Kentucky beats unranked 7-7 Texas A&M and unranked 9-6 Vanderbilt at home and moves up 6 spots in the latest AP poll.
Translation: 90% of the voters didn't know both teams stink but they won so why not
The big name schools just about always get this treatment.
@wissox Indeed. Grimes isn't nearly what many thought he would be. Otoh, Agbaji is much better than his ranking suggested. Might balance out.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Dotson, Vick, Garrett, Agbaji, Silvio line-up. Put the other team in the meat locker defensively.

@BeddieKU23 I firmly believe that adding another athlete turns this team back into a true title contender. Adding De Sousa would mean we will be able to move to a very solid 7 man rotation and have 5 athletes on the floor the entire game.
Just to refresh everyone's memories, in games where he played 10 minutes or more, he averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds. He shot .681 and 2.8 offensive rebounds a game. Many of his advanced stats would be near the top of this team. His rebound percentage was 24% (Dedric who is a good rebounder is at 18%). De Sousa, if he improved any since last season, would likely be a major upgrade to Mitch, KJ and Big Dave.
Dotson, Vick, Grimes, Garrett, Agbaji, Dedric, Silvio. KJ as the 8th man.
It won't shock me if Tech wins the league.
UT fans don't care because it is basketball. They could be the best team in the league, and the games wouldn't sell out.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I would be quite pleased with that roster, regardless of which recruits would be added.
