We should be hauling ass back every single made bucket.

It's not like we're crashing the offensive boards

We're down 9-7 in that category, and all 7 of ours are DLaw.

Who's gonna help DLaw?

approxinfinity said:

@Bwag define "we" and "love"

We = team
Love = kinda type of self-love, think masterbation since you don't need an assist

Is that the definition you were looking for? Probably over the line, so apologies in advance, I'll do penance

We've fallen in love with the incredibly tough drive to the heavily guarded layup

DCHawker said:

Vick and Grimes. 1-10 from field - 0-4 on 3s and 1 RB........

Both their lines are pretty bleak...

DanR said:

They just want it more? I call BS on that every time. Sorry.

Agree...we're in a major identity crisis at the moment

Texas Hawk 10 said:

Why did Vick pass it to someone being trippled teamed?

Because he was probably told to do so...but when the defense is taking it away?

I get getting it to Lawson, but into a tightly guarded double team...

cragarhawk said:

I think at some point we gotta learn that Vick throwing up prayers just isn't gonna win games

did early in the year, but the mojo is off

BeddieKU23 said:

I'm enjoying this game. It's better then the alternative

whats the alternative

approxinfinity said:

How do we lose track of where people are on the perimeter all the time?

help defense...similar to the prevent defense the Chiefs used late in the 2nd half last night.

kjayhawks said:

Their ball movement is lightyears better than ours and we'd rather give open 3s than 2s because Self is losing his mind this year.

when our offense it to drive and not pass, go one on one to one on whomever is at the rim to help...

Good move to get to 2 on 1 by Dotson, but its still 2 on 1, not the easiest layup...

But apparently that is the offense Bill wants the team to run.

kjayhawks said:

Gotta guard the perimeter

No, much better if we run at shooters from 20' away

yep, can you say force it

Baylor showing us how it's done in WVU

wissox said:

They really force a coach to use a timeout so a kid can put his shoe on?

Coach them to tie their shoes

DanR said:

I hope this is a 30 point game for Vick. Or a 30 pt. 30 rebound game for Lawson

We may need it

approxinfinity said:

Do we ever have a rebounder in position when we shoot a 3?

Not when we take the first shot that appears with no rythym

DCHawker said:

Our entire offense is Lawson put backs...

Cause we are playing one on one and can not shoot...hmmm, could be bad if someone doesnt catch fire

terrible offense

DanR said:

Self message: drive

bad ball

dont assist your team mates

missed a chance for an assist and a basket

Tennessee can only say, KU beat our asses.

Good pressure!

Not good enough

AFC Championship Game • Jan 21, 2019 03:01 AM

@DanR held them to 3, in second half though till then, right?

If the Chiefs lose in OT, is this still get chalked up to a Prevent Defense preventing a win?

Jesse's take very similar.

Hawk8086 said:

@HighEliteMajor It appeared that Garrett is trying to be the man. On two of the final possessions, he drove it. One problem is that he is not good from the line...like Mason or DG. I love the guy and he is doing more and more....but his offensive skills don't equate to being the man.

yep and what was that pull up shot from the FT line late by Garrett coming out of a Time Out?

If I recall, MG began to drive, it was cut off so he pulled up and shot.

Not much of an attempt to run any sort of offensive set other than the bad ball of several years ago and the first attempt at overcoming no high-low offense.

It does not appear that Self's offense has really embraced the 4 guard out game where there are sets that get guys open on the perimeter without an inside-out move. I may be missing it and it could be all just be that we were sooo bad passing the ball that the answer was, "don't pass", dribble to the hole. Only 6 assists. That's what that looks like on the stat sheet.

Too early to worry about Texas Tech? • Jan 20, 2019 12:08 AM

Nope

Has Bill Self Lost This Team? • Jan 20, 2019 12:06 AM

@wissox but I would like to see some semblance of an offense besides bad ball. We had 6 assists. Lots of one on one/two/or three.

Has Bill Self Lost This Team? • Jan 20, 2019 12:03 AM

The Sky. Is. Falling.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Dedric should have gotten a few touches down the stretch.

And preferably on the block - not at 1/2 court

6 Assists. - Bad Ball

Our offense needs help

Bad ball loss

Garrett one on five for pull up at ft line.

That’s our offense?

Rebirth of “Bad Ball”

DCHawker said:

I missed the entire first half - perhaps a good thing - 23 effing points??? Anything one thing account for the putridness...

Turnovers and some missed shots up close

Let’s sustain

Rebounding has been good

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

@Bwag What are you watching it on? Your TV?

Sling

I’ve still got the pre-game

Goodbye. You all must be 2 min ahead of me.

What - am I so far behind?

BR Story on Q • Jan 19, 2019 05:07 PM

great article. Sounds like a great kid. We can be so demanding sometimes, so hope he continues to progress and like @BShark said, stays around, long enough to reveal consistent billiance

WE'RE RANKED 11th • Jan 17, 2019 01:56 AM

@Kcmatt7 1 vs 12 is same?

Maybe I'm missing something.
