Minutes were even wonkier than I thought after checking the box score.

The Bob/Udeh combo is already very fun honestly. Could be devastating in a year or two if Bob develops a trey.
Jmo but I think we end up playing 9 guys by Jan/Feb and my guess is Juan/Gradey/Kev/JWill/Udeh/Bob/KJ/MJ/Joe. Joe kind of a Remy lite situation where you see if he is on that night and go from there.
@Jethro #neverbet
Great game tonight. Dominated the first half with real line-ups. Got to get guys time and experiment in the second half.

MJ!!
The good and the bad tonight.
I’ll take this off the bench every game lol
Oh 100% don't get me wrong. Can see why he is Bill's dog house however.
Cuffe is uh... I am surprised he survived last offseason.
Zuby has energy
It's been feeling scrimmage like for awhile now. Guys playing hero ball.
@DCHawker said in Fargo Game Thread:
Defensive intensity has slacked. NDSU on pace for a 40 pt half...
Yeah game has been over for awhile, always a weird situation. Jalen hasn't played much this half.
The MJ experience @FarmerJayhawk

We're getting outscored this half by a D3 team
Wissox the new BShark? Some are saying it. :winking_face:

Those are the 3's Harris has to make.
Yep, otherwise a great possession.

Ugh, one of the worst up there with fansofku.
@wissox This team is better than Omaha, much better. We are playing better.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Fargo Game Thread:
There’s no Juan vs. Bobby for me. Both are awesome.
Yep. Gotta play both.
My only issue with Gradey is defensively so far. Seen about 5 major gaffes but obviously he is good and should continue playing.
J U A N
Another awful play by Zach sadly
JUAN MAGIC
Zach was ABUSED there. Bill would have taken a timeout to pull him lol.
@BeddieKU23 said in Fargo Game Thread:
Wayne was excellent Jr year
AKA when we let him play on the wing.
Going on a run with Bob in really makes you think.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah we need to get to the point where Udeh is starting.
KJ robbed Bob of a beautiful assist
@stoptheflop said in Fargo Game Thread:
Refs letting KU play. I like it
Felt Gradey was fouled but other than that refs mostly fine.
@BeddieKU23 said in Fargo Game Thread:
Time for udeh
Whew KJ does not offer much offensively. Udeh will have to show he can defend on the perimeter.
Kevin is dominating this game on D
Yikes start. Hate starting 2 non-offensive guys.
@BeddieKU23 said in Fargo Game Thread:
Our bigs need to play well tonight
Gotta D up. Speeding up NDSU and turning them over would be big. They like to play SLOW.
The waiting is the hardest part.
Doubt intensifies.
I am currently watching a game involving a D3 team this game can not get here soon enough.
Beat the Bison!
So K-State missed on Cameron Carr who is going to Tennessee. You might think oh well that's not a surprise but it's a hilarious loss given that they hired his prep coach on their staff AND his dad has been coaching at KSU (women's team) for 5 years now. Massive whiff that only a school as poverty as KSU could manage. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

I'm as excited to watch this team play as any team we've ever had!
These guys are fun! So much energy... and speed! Love this speed!
Going to be a very entertaining year and who knows how it plays out in March! Or April!
I think this team has a 2nd weekend ceiling but I'm dumb and thought that last year too!
@approxinfinity said in Box Score Musings:
@BShark elamarkos 6’3. Kid looks like a beast.
Special talent and a great kid too. Overwhelmingly positive talk about him from everyone. Bossi said he can't even really see a scenario where Kansas fans don't love him. Wild.
@benshawks08 Great fit. Elmarko (current commit) looks like a prototypical Bill Self guard as well. The future is bright.
It's been awhile since I had heard such glowing practice reports about any freshman. Probably Josh.
Me watching Udeh, a large athletic big after 2 years being removed from Udoka
best Aaron Lewis impersonation IT'S BEEEEEEEEN AWHILE
@kuballin10 Something else I am monitoring is the back-up wing minutes. KJ was very not good in those spots imo and hopefully MJ can get/stay healthy and take those minutes.
“I liked the matchup with KJ, because we were gonna sag on him,” Crutchfield said. “We could give help with his man. But when the big fella’s out there, I mean, it’s a different story.”
Our eyes did not lie.

:writing_hand_light_skin_tone:
Imagine if we got a year of CB and Gradey together. LOL.
Of course CB going pro was correct but fun to dream about.
+/- is mostly noise but +26 with Gradey and +24 with Udeh are the standouts tonight. Joe + 6 and Zach +1 were the worst potential rotation guys.
@wissox Worth noting Dajuan injured his foot in practice yesterday. Xray turned out okay but something that could linger. Noticed some movement issues at times tonight.
If Pettiford stays healthy he will be a regular contributor. Of course not 13 ppg but he will get serious run as our primary bench guard. He plays fast but under control. Really love how he gets into the lane with a purpose which he flashed last year pre injury as well.
That grade feels about right to me. Plenty to work on, but not a bad performance.

I think we are seeing why zuby hasn’t seen a lot of early run.
Yeah I retract my comments lol
Something about yada yada trust the hall of famer is something I should do
Zuby will be good eventually. Bundle of energy right now. Like I said reminds me of TRob including the frosh nerves.
Very promising signs from Udeh tonight though.
Udeh looked the part tonight. By Feb he’s going to get 25mpg
If it does play out this way we will be NICE I feel.
