@Bwag he should have taken that last open three

Had have gone to a new level if had made it.

Bwag said:

Why did he hesitate?

It's Vick.

Huh?

Why did he hesitate?

It's Vick.

Dedric had another open 3. Not comfortable out there to just take it?

Why did he hesitate?

approxinfinity said:

If Mitch could just hit the 3 he could be the perfect compliment to Dedric

I think he can.

How is Vick going to get in the game on offense if he stands in the corner and doesn't move?

He has been drifting 95% of this game.

So is Self calling offense or what?

Nice acting Mitch!

DanR said:

we need to be driving to the hoop

It take a couple more Vick 3's personally

Is NMSU worried?

But of a fake there

Lovin me some Lightfoot

Not being able to shoot the ball is a problem.

I'm looking at KU's signed recruits like Wolverine looks at that picture.

You're always about the future while the present is bleak, huh?

This is my fault for not helping my wife decorate the tree.

But you're focused now. Like our team will be

BShark said:

KU's offense of forcing it to Doke and Vick getting hot isn't working.

It's early yet

Late call. Ref takes points off the Board for us.

Vick to Lightfoot.

Lightfoot 👍

That looked good

We'll want it more here in a bit.

Can we start now?

DanR said:

I smell a 22 point run

Let's hope so

@kjayhawks but who leads big 12 in rebounds?

BShark said:

This team deserves to lose this game. Certainly not beating Villanova.

At least you're consistent.

approxinfinity said:

@BeddieKU23 yeah pretty much. These guys keep talking about Doke. Is his absence really a factor here?

They are clueless

Was that Vicks 1st attempt? He passed opportunities earlier.

BShark said:

Mitch isn't the answer though Billy.

Yes he was

Why didn't Derrick a shoot the 3 there? They laid off.

Don't these ESPN folks know we play 1/4 of a game.

Will Garret have our most 3 pta?

@dylans in football where you start season in rankings can have overarching impact on where viewed at end.

@Kubie nope

This is the team that was preseason #1. This is the best stretch this team has played all year.

For 10 minutes

kjayhawks said:

Dotson is faster than Jesus.....on water

Well He was only walking.

My mocking our lead of 3 embarrassed us into better performance. You’re welcome

DanR said:

I think Garrett has a third arm that he hides in his jersey

Maybe that third hand is messing up the rotation on his outside shot?

Up 3. Woohoo

How disgusted should we be at this point?

I agree though, the team is in gel mode and some freshmen adapting to the game. Nothing critical yet, except PERHAPS a defensive philosophy gap in adjusting to the modern approach where there are more and improved 3 point shooters all over the floor.

@dylans exceptions to every rule or trend. Dok being another

Bill needs a visit from the Mayor again.

Although I don't recall the Mayor being a particularly defensive minded coach. Certainly helped Self get through the offensive side of the ball barrier.

@BeddieKU23 & @mayjay2 if it have kept reading, you all captured my instinct/thoughts on the matter.

AsadZ said:

yeah this is frustrating, coaches need to emphasize this point in practice and tape watching.

Or is this behavior part of a defensive philosophy that is coached from before the 3 point shot proficiency became a defining characteristic of players games and 3 pt > 2pt strategy worked its way into more and more coachds philosophy.

Self was always until last 2-3 years an Inside-Out coach. Makes me wonder that he hasn't completely adjusted to the new reality in his defensive coaching philosophy and practice. Not a knock, just this kind of thing has happened now for years And we don't seem to have fully adapted. Obviously, there is always an element of execution vs plan that falls on the players but can't help but wonder if one thing is drilled over and over, and the other is a once in a while instruction and players fall to form versus remembering instruction on case by case basis.
Some teams and coaches seem to be much more oriented to both offensive and defensive mindset and player performance on the 3 line.

@BeddieKU23 Alarmed? Only for several years.

I was disappointed when Vick declares he was leaving. I was more disappointed that he felt he had to and the talk that was in the press from both him, his mother and Self. I was glad he wanted to come back, but disgusted at the cold shoulder that Self and the program gave him and all the press statements about what Vick had to do to be taken back in.

Here we are and where would Self and the Jayhawks be without Vick at least so far this early season?

Guess I understand there was lots of backstory but the way it all played out was disheartening.

But that’s all history now. Here’s to an awesome rest of the year and huge success for both Bick and the team.
