KU is currently 219th in the country in FT attempts per game.
Gradey & Kevin went 14-14 from the line in the Baylor game. Jalen as you mentioned gets to the line. Guys will have to prove it

I don't think KU can win if they don't control the glass and actually make shots on the other end. This is another bad matchup at the worst time. All I can do is hope they have had enough of losing and change their ways.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Stop the streak:
@BeddieKU23 he has fouled out several times. 🙏
Bout our only hope.
There is no one to stop Oscar. Hasn't been for 4 years now.
Here's my early views of each.
Elmarko- reminds me of Dotson in scoring aggression in the paint, overall speed, quickness, athleticism at the position. Better shooter then Dot at same stage. 2 years tops likely..
Johnson- Not projecting his career here until we learn how he meshes with being coached by Self. I think that's a big one tbd. NBA talent is there. If he matures watch out.
McDowell- He'll play early. I think he's a dude and he'll be moldable into a Self guy on both ends. Could be here the longest but could also develop into a star. Really interested to see his progression.
Kind of like Dave last year. You know he's hobbled but not much is going to be disclosed.
Udeh missed several games recently and we only learned after he had Wisdom Teeth issue. Staff keeping injuries and what not real close
It's year 4 for Juan so strength and stamina really shouldn't be the concern here but you may just be seeing the limitations of him physically. Everyone has their breaking point and Juan came to KU needing work on his body.
Ideally Self would trust Bobby more but we have seen he can't really do that without the level of play dropping off, but in order for Bobby to get better you have to let him play the position. A lot of his minutes lately have been alongside Juan and that hasn't done any good either. On the flip side perhaps Bill needs to commit to taking Juan out near every timeout and managing workload in some kind of set pattern because what's happening now isn't working.
Shouldn't other teams be just as tired when we play them? Baylor didn't look gassed at all. KU had a slow December and now by the end of January this team has started cracking at the seams. It doesn't make much sense going from one extreme to the other.
Unless we can get the real Juan back not sure how much of all these issues that they are dealing with will be fixed. Self needs his leader playing at the high level he was at because he seems to be the glue holding it all together.
I just hope whatever is ailing Juan is something that will pass. If he's got an injury he's going to manage the rest of the season that really makes it difficult to play at a high level when your PG can't do things he normally can do. He has looked hobbled and shook from mistakes he isn't used to making. Makes you wonder if he did get concussed from that fall
Hoping the 5 days in between games gives them a shot at redemption Saturday
Honestly, I think the offense has fallen off more than the defense but it's a great discussion to have. I do see your point about the defense getting back to in a groove having some kind of domino effect on everything else. I do think some of these hot starts from teams & their shooting from 3 has negatively impacted the psyche of the players. They have been fighting deficits which requires a lot of energy and effort to fight back against.
Congrats Elmarko!
Made the McDonald's All American game
Lucky. Do what works for you. This is not a game you want to throw on not unless you want to live a bit less.
Players not named Dick & Wilson went 6-23 from the field.
Same starters not named Dick & Wilson are 18-50 from the field in last 3 games. The math sucks.
Can't win if 3 starters can't shoot.
Very disappointed in Bill for that Technical. Can't happen. Cost his team a chance, as faint as it was. His mess!
Good shot we got there
Can't board wortha
Juan has to be sent a message from self. You can't defend this
Juan's lost his mind
Just a bunch of dudes that can't shoot
That T worked out gloriously
Good job Bill. Your doing an outstanding job
Rice is awful
Just redic
Fn comical
Yup this sucks
The ref show
3 guys in double figures now
That's what he does
Beautiful pass kj. That was really spot on
Bill has lost em
If that's the shot we are getting let's just go home
This offense is broken
Good job kev!
That's a horseshit call
Nice pass
So we sub in a shooter for a non shooter
Wahoo
Another brick
Looking good already
Wow
painful update
Big test of heart tonight. Can't let 2 become 3.
Jalen can't carry this team alone.
Updated. Very painful one.
Points-
The only positive- Jalen is now tied for 44th all-time in scoring with 1,156 points with Rick Suttle. Jalen can pass Svi & Aaron Miles tonight with another big game.

If you're going to miss another game, can you at least appoint a supervisor to make sure the glue doesn't completely rip off :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Down 24 and playing juan. Sometimes you just don't get it
Either this will be our Kentucky game of last year or this team is broken.
Good job gradey! Awesome brick
Good job kev! Bricked your last how many shots
There you go brick another layup
Nobody has confidence to shoot the ball. Not sure what self has to do here
