Seriously, I thought the camera angle in Stillwater was like from the fifth row in past years. What's with this cheap seats video?
Budget cuts
Touche,
2021 new years resolution?
Good start. Oklahoma St doesn't defend
Hustle CB
Dave dunked
Landon Lucas is better on offense then Garrett. Change my mind
Oklahoma st ref said i gotta stop ochai
Our pick and roll defense is what id call crap
For those that can't watch big Dave missed a dunk, missed the puback and got blocked
Bryce Williams super bowl
In terms of trying to dunk
Big Dave playing like a 6 footer
Agbaji for 3
4-3 ugh
First possession your dreams came true
The behemoth in the middle is kinda good

Regular starters, Bryce is good to go.
That will be interesting. So happy to see him back
Haven't tried it to be honest. But was willing to let a fellow Jayhawk try
Man I could share login if you want

Coach K feeling some back pain no doubt. As of my linking this, 27-12 Virginia Tech is ahead.
Que the game getting postponed at halftime
Obviously their dog ate their homework
Bryce practiced about 15 minutes with contact. Day to day now. Figure Saturday might be the day he returns
11 games is a great accomplishment especially in a P5 league where everyone plays true home/home against each other.
For the longest time we used to come out and have those 10-0 runs in the first 2-3 minutes of the game and force early timeouts by the opposing coach but I think coaches have gotten smart at how to simulate crowd noise. Technology has made it easier to gameplan.
You may trip up a team that relies on a star freshman or young player that hasn't been to Allen Fieldhouse before or a coach doing the same but those same players may get used to it by their Sr year and be able to handle the environment. Texas for example this year, Baylor last year had veteran squads when they were able to leave Allen with a victory. I'm sure coaches also learn what didn't work and adjust and you see the competitiveness of trying to win in Allen Fieldhouse sometimes take over. Players have "career games", 21% 3 point shooter goes 5-5, we see it every single year.
To answer your questions:
-
We've been flat for almost 80 minutes the last two home games. I'm not sure why but the offense has stunk. Some of our starters are not shooting the ball well. Braun for example is 29% from 3 in the past month. Missing open shots we know he can make. We definitely saw the sense of urgency late in the Oklahoma game as guys gave max effort on both ends whether it was a positive play or not. We also saw and Self mentioned it post Texas game that guys didn't respond favorably to being down..
-
Fan noise for the players has to be impacting performance. Remember how flat we looked against North Dakota St in front of no fans? Life and death to win, but the following week beat Creighton even with a fiery Creighton base somehow getting tickets. Most of the vets know how big the crowd noise is and without it might be hard adjusting to hearing your own thoughts.

Pressure to perform at home is probably there. The standard is so high and then you have the opponent coming to town with a chip on their shoulder.
Hmm. Baylor is ranked #2 having only played 1 ranked team to date, Illinois who's sliding currently (lost to Maryland 7-6 at home). They had games canceled against Gonzaga and Texas. They didn't look great against TCU, pulled away in the 2nd half but wasn't dominant by any means. KU has winnable games this week before playing Baylor on Big Monday. Setting up a huge game
At least someone brave enough to call it like it is
Can't imagine he'll play College with the options available to kids like him
Dave played great this week. Wonder if he gets Big 12 player of the week
Nice find!
Duren looks like 2.0 Dwight Howard
Handlers double dipped
DAVEY BUCKET
Right in front of the ref too but guess he's blind
Lon will foul Garrett
Of course Braun couldn't even hit rim
