Pain Management thing going forward. Not great, not terrible
He will play Tuesday. Need him, chances of winning are slim without
Only way is a miracle in the ACC tourney. NIT in doubt too
Ruined their Sparty I'm the best team in the nation party
Bragg raises all his problems from KU, Arizona St too a new low. Arrested for DWI and Mary Jane. What a waste. Pray he gets some help
Chiefs driving before the half
McCormack vs good teams (Duke, Dayton, Colorado, Villanova, Stanford, West Virgnia, Baylor). Avg defense rating- 29.5
MPG- 18, PPG- 3.2, FG%- 33%, RB- 2.5, BLK- .28, TO- 2
McCormack vs everyone else. Avg defense rating- 124.5
MPG-15.8 , PPG- 12.8, FG%- 64.8%, RB- 5.2, BLK- .28, TO- .71
I know my opinion means jack but to me this is the biggest current issue for this team overall that can be controlled. Starting Dave and playing him at the 4 isn't working. There is enough time left in the season that this can be adjusted. Playing Dave as Doke's sub or within a game flow where KU is in control seems like the only way forward. There are still games left against ISU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, K-St where Dave can play more and pad his stats as he's done against inferior competition all season. Even then K-St & OSU are still top 50 defenses.
Start Braun and get the next 3 months of games and practice in with the 4 guard look as the primary offense. Our offense against good teams has struggled to hit 50, 60 points. If you take away the Dayton game this team has averaged 63 points against the best 7 teams we've played. That makes the margin for error so small scoring so little. Braun and Moss can score more then 3 ppg in the starting lineup. I hope the coaches figure this thing out.

Dave has been very disappointing against good teams this yr. The stats are alarming
He has a lot to learn but the reps against good teams will help.
Yeah its something that I've been paying attention to. We see his potential playing less talented and smaller teams. He was a non factor yesterday and some of that is the coaches fault for continuing the 2 big charade and playing him out of position. Still I saw some troubling things from him yesterday from an effort standpoint as well as his continual quirk of falling on the floor and taking himself out of plays. I dont know if I'm expecting too much but if he is a starter on this roster he should be producing no matter the opponent. Hopefully at some point the light bulb comes on for him

Turnovers and Butler. One is a team problem one was an individual player being better then the other 9 guys on the floor. That's what it took to win in Allen. There were tons of other issues and reasons for the result but this was one of the first times an individual player has impacted the game so much that the 5 KU players couldn't overcome it. Tons of concern out of this game.
Dotson and Garrett's health is deteriorating to the point it's worth considering sitting them on Tuesday. What's more important, OU or the tourney??? We already know both will play but the worst thing that can happen is one or both of them getting injured to the point they cant play at all. I'm worried

I'd be surprised if we do. Short turnaround to Norman and Dotson and Garrett are not healthy
Still gotta beat a team like OU.
This loss will be difficult to overcome + the injuries. Its about to get rocky. This was arguably the worst game of the year on offense. Hope they have short memories and the coaches figure something out.
Good thing OU cant defend but at home they will make 3s.
Yes, it's a game you have to win and should win but I think a bunch of humble pie came our way today

Dotson has a hip pointer and MG sprained his ankle AGAIN!
Next two on the road. Could be a long week.
Wouldn't be a season without KU's best players being hurt
Just how this group is. I'd love to think it could be coached out but it's a problem everytime we play a team that matches us. It's a poor passing team

Settle on an offensive identity. Practice it, eat it, sleep it. That's what is holding them back
Outscored 21-2 off turnovers that's the difference in the game. We dont value the ball and it's not going to change it's just the biggest team weakness
Valid argument to make. We have played terrible in all 3 of the losses
When Moss leads the team in scoring you know it's not a good day
Guess winning so easily the other night really didnt help have them ready
Deflating loss. On Self now.
Enaruna embarrassing

Wonder if vital will graduate?
At least his 5th yr
Discouraging to see this play at home. Our gameplan was horrendous
If ochai doesnt stay 4 years he will be overseas
Just stand there and let him make it
At least moss can shoot, sometimes
I can't wait for Vital to graduate
The token pressure we never use or practice
At least marcus can make free throws
You need timeout LOL
Their best player was better then our entire team
Sure give him credit he made all those baskets
Gonna be the worst loss at home in a century
Goodnight
Lobs do nothing now too late
Who cares
Offense
That last basket is on all Dave with zero ability to rebound
Dave doesnt rebound
Trading 2s for shit 3s
If you make those you deserve it what a joke

Since that 20-15 lead...we have scored 18 points...…..wow!
Ugly to think that's possible
Have to make it
Unreal

Marcus can't be 100%
Clearly hobbled and still fighting. Cant be all on him to make plays.
Need a Dotson miracle
There it goes
Big time D
We have to get to the ft line. Extend the game
