K st has 8 turnovers already. Good news since KU was only forcing 6 in the last 3 according to jesse

Some unlucky events there. That ochai drive would have brought the house down. His 2nd he was fouled. Braun rimmed out a 3.

If the team had more reliable shooters I don't think this would be much of a debate.

@BeddieKU23 did u see the end of Baylor game? Ou had a steal w/chance to tie, instead they pitch it out to reaves for a 3. Game

Yup, I believe he had a chance for an easy layup. Decision Making fail 101

@Hawk8086

Maybe some pressure being #1. Baylor has had some C type games and found ways to win (sort of like KU has). I thought the two games before they drubbed KU weren't that good. A team that can kind of turn it on when they need to.

Is this a college basketball thing with the movement of the three point line?

That seems to be a big part of it. Scoring across the nation is way down.

Scoring is down 1.9 points nationally this season (from last). The peak of the last 25 seasons or so was 2018 at 73.6 nationally so scoring is down over 3 points in less then 2 years.

3pt % and FG % is down a pt, at least. Efficiency is down 5 points from last season alone. Painting a bleak picture about this year

@HighEliteMajor

Here's the full quote from Self FYI.

"I've actually thought to myself about that. Well, the reason its been that way, like after even going into the OU game, is because we didn't know we'd have Devon. Then even going into Texas, you know if you make a decision to start Isaiah instead of David, that's fine. So you prepare for that, David's out, I didn't know how that would mess with his mind, and then (you could potentially) tell him Devon Can't Play. Now Your Starting. So I thought it was best just to leave it status quo so you're only messing with one guy, as opposed to messing with two. But Moving Forward...I'm not saying this will happen tomorrow, because I doubt it will. But we know that our five most productive players on the floor is with Isaiah in the lineup. We know that, with the other four starters. Stats, analytics, prove that out. But still though, even with that being said, I think there's some things that David Brings, and from a chemistry standpoint, I think up until this point, it's been best for us to go that way that we've been going, because you're still going to have ample opportunities to have that other lineup on the floor. So that's the primary reason, but its something that I think is fair, and I've actually thought quite a bit about."

It would have been interesting to see where he might be in his development without the injury.

Can he help this team at this point? I'm struggling to see where both from a chemistry and performance standpoint. We'll have to see where they go with this one..

Well Enaruna has become unplayable for Bill and while Jalen didn't look the best early if he is going to be played at the 4, guarding a wing or even a post player and can help space the floor that is at least intriguing.

It sounds good, I really wish he was the type of talent you just rush in to try and see what he has but I dont think that's the case with how Self runs his offense and his expectations on defense. I have always been extremely high on Wilson and I dont want to see him transfer away at any cost. If he could really add some meaningful minutes to perimeter scoring while also defending at a level like Moss I'm all for it.

Newell voted them 1. He explained in his Twitter why as well.

@BShark

We do need Dave next yr, no question but I'll throw this out there.

Would anyone want to see Agbaji running the point with his passing and decision making? Now take that and apply this to Dave trying to be a 4 man in this lineup next to Doke. Considering it all I give Dave respect for going out there and trying to be something he is not. The staff clearly felt Dave was one of the 5 best players to start the season and that he earned the starting spot. But now we are in the middle of the season with enough games, data and film to know Dave next to Doke is not working the way we all hoped it would. Its not a total disaster but isnt bringing the team closer to some higher level of play. It is what it is

Start Isaiah Moss • Jan 20, 2020 08:13 PM

@HighEliteMajor

At this point I'm over Monday Morning Quarterbacking this decision. We all have to live with him starting Dave for better or worse. If there is something positive that comes out of this in a consistent manner at some point in the season I'll gladly eat some crow. Statistically I don't see chemistry being the reason its keeping this together.

What unintended consequence we may be seeing develop is more Isaiah at the expense of less Braun which you've already hit on before. Ideally we see more of both but the last few games are starting to trend the other way with that as Moss continues to play big minutes.

Start Isaiah Moss • Jan 20, 2020 06:43 PM

Self is his presser today said this:

On starting 4 guards from the jump instead of starting McCormack;

"We know that us having our 5 most productive players on the floor is with Isaiah Moss in the lineup without Dave" however he cited "Dave brings a lot chemistry wise".

Coach speak? Fools gold? Sure hope he's right with the way he's handling this. I've started to think this isn't being handled correctly

Self reports Wilson doing more but not a full practice participant.

They expect to make a decision within 2 weeks on his season.

Jalen says he wants to play if healthy, family supportive.

Other Games • Jan 20, 2020 05:16 PM

Two ranked teams play today, both Big-12 games.

Not expecting any upsets tonight as West Virginia should bounce back at home after a dreadful loss in Manhattan.

Baylor hosts Oklahoma and I would not expect OU can beat them with their 2-3 road record.

Kenpom loves the B12 • Jan 20, 2020 01:43 PM

The # 1 defense (kenpom) have played in 2 of the last 3 title games.

KU's defense can get them there!

How about the defense though. 8 of the last 10 games holding teams under 60 points.

This team probably wouldn't give up 45 to last years roster

They've only given up 70 once all season (Dayton) and 65-69 points 3 other times times with one of those being against Milwaukee in a near 30 point win. The other 2 were the Duke and Baylor games.

KU is 15th nationally in points allowed per game this season so far.

Nice Top 15 nationally in points allowed is a good thing.

Here's the points allowed against teams vs their offensive rank via Kenpom.

Most Important as we look to March

Duke - 66- rank#4

Dayton- 84 (OT) 73 regulation- rank#3

Baylor- 67- rank#23

Villanova- 56 - rank#13

Others

ETSU- 63- rank#61

BYU- 56- rank#15

Colorado- 58 - rank#66

Stanford- 56- rank#92

West Virginia- 53- rank#58

Iowa St- 53- rank#39

Oklahoma- 52- rank#45
