Texas just lost at home to VCU and Okie St lost at Tulsa. Two more bad losses for the conference.
KU should slice through the league again. KSU and ISU maybe the only truly tough opponents.

@BShark Naadir cost us games. What's our record? Bad comparison.
If Moore played 29.4 minutes a game what do you think KU's record would be? Thankfully, there are better options on the roster.
Also it's fine to have Tharpe/Moore level guys they just need to be bench guys.
Charlie Tharpe or Naadir Moore?

Better fit and can actually shoot. I still think we need Garrett's D on wings
True. Garrett is the only consistently good perimeter defender. Dotson can get there, but is a fr and shorter.
French google results! Ooo lala.
@BeddieKU23 I am all for playing KJ at the 4.
@BeddieKU23 Spacing helps the entire team. With Doke it enables him to be one on one or potentially unguarded in the post. Also lets him seal off a guy more easily for a dunk. With Dedric it just gives him so much more room to use his crafty moves.
I think the answer for this team is playing 4 guards. Garrett can bang defensively in the post just fine tbh. Play Jay Wright ball. The shooting will still be an issue, but this would help a lot.
Will Self do it is a very fair question though. Like @Kcmatt7 said Bill gets tempted to play stone age hoops when he can. I still think a 3 out 2 in game could be okay, but you can't have so many plodding bigs for defensive reasons. You need to be able to guard the perimeter. Dedric plus Doke is just too much sloth on D. You also really still need more shooting threats 1-4. It's really tough to play two bigs when you only have one guard that can shoot worth a crap.
A wag of the finger.
Players either develop or they don't. College is no better a development tool than various lesser pro leagues or riding the pine in the NBA. In fact, I would say it is worse because of the very limited practice times.

3 point shooting offense needs work. Missed a ton of open good looks. Dedric especially has to start making some. He's getting plenty of room to tee up and they are just not going down. We will have plenty of games where we struggle from deep when Vick isn't making 7 a night
Dedric had one that was all but in too...

NCAA Committee on infractions will release findings today at noon on the Oregon Men's and Women's basketball programs.
Nike will make it go away no matter what it says
Bingo.
Sure and I'll keep calling out banal and inane takes when I see them. As someone who predicts KU to lose frequently, I'm an expert on bad takes. :sweat:
My main point is that staying wouldn't have done Preston a lick of good to stay. It would have just slowed down his payday and capped his potential pro basketball earnings.
Simmons was VERY uninterested in playing college ball.
WVU is reaaaaaaaaaaally bad.
Butler was a 3 year guy.

I was trying to figure out if the 27-0 run is close to a record.
It's not.
@approxinfinity Ha. He is a total clown. I would have a meltdown if he coached a team I like.
You wouldn't know even if I told you. Just don't worry about it. ;)
@Crimsonorblue22 Lon does have some weirdo vibes.
Alabama lost to Georgia State. AVERY JOHNSON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WVU at home too.
@KirkIsMyHinrich WEIRD

Plot Twist: Bill Self isn't playing Dave so that he stays at KU longer.
Nah. Dave is a 4 year guy basically regardless.
I know you are joking just wanted to mention this.
Dedric should be the main really consistent guy box score wise. Though he didn't get any fta tonight which is very odd.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Anyone think we would ever win a 13.3% 3 pt shooting game, let alone win by dbl digits, or conceive it could be by 25?!!
70% from 2. Wild.
Can you all imagine ESPN if Duke went on a 27-0 run in a close game?
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Every box score is an adventure. Vick and Doke with 0 points tonight and still a 25-point KU victory.
Going to be a lot more 0s for Doke... :( :( :(
@KUSTEVE Too late.
This might be the first game where KU has exceeded the predicted Kenpom margin. Maybe Marquette too I don't remember for sure.
@Crimsonorblue22 BILLY TRICKED ME. THIS TEAM CAN DEFEND THE 3PT LINE.
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Is Self adapting to the times and playing a 4-1 instead of a 3-2, or is it just because we're playing Wofford and Doke is hurt?
So, I mean with Doke hurt I think we see waaaay more of just one big.
I'm old enough to remember when this game was close.
QUENTIN IS BACK
"On Q"
I'm DEAD
LOOOOOOOOOL
So the defense tonight shows this team is pretty damn capable. Was Self screwing with us this whole time?
THERE WAS THE LOB DAN
DanR said:
@BShark He's sort of small, so we might get him for four years, like BIFM
Unfortunately, no.

Devon Dotson > Tre Jones
There is no doubt. Best PG in the class.
BeddieKU23 said:
Dotson is unreal
Two years. I HOPE.

Dotson is the only consistent guard KU has.
I would argue Garrett is consistent.
At not shooting well?
Yes. And playing elite defense.
LETS TALK ABOUT DEVON

LOL that sequence.

The ball movement with this team is terrible unbelievable terrible
Looks like a Calipari team. They need time together.
Devon is a star.
