Good D LL

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Oh no Svi. Please

See if he can cut out TO's

@RockChalkinTexas their length gives them option to just block, force tough shots over length.

Example was most recent block of Frank in lane.

Now, if he drives and takes D with him and drops like earlier to Bragg okay

Even better quick break out and passing to score the 2

@RockChalkinTexas said:

Gotta drive the lane.

That's where the strength of their D is

Deficit down to 4

Nice possession call Vick

That was nice

2 points in first 4 min.

Not good

Jackson making some quick passes, pretty solid. Lucas has to be ready

Looking disjointed on Offense so far.

Down only 3

Svi 2nd TO.

LL working hard inside

And now fouls. Inauspicious start

First 2 possessions 2 TO's

@chriz my guess from a series or two later, he didn't show the same explosiveness going outside his immediate area.

Harder to discern the things you don't see. But I am no coach...do believe @approxinfinity made a similar observation when I made a similar comment within the game chat at the time.

And you thought the titanic was sinking.

It did, we had a lifeboat

FT line.

@JayHawkFanToo yes you did

@Texas-Hawk-10 no TO's left

Better to be lucky than good sometimes

Why is Lucas in the middle closest to inbounder there and guards out on wings?

Line was us by 5

@truehawk93 with another score

@Texas-Hawk-10 thin bench.

Mitch brings good energy

Mitch in

@wissox yes

Holy crap.

Score again

@Eric-san said:

KU has to go 13-0 for my prediction to hit.

How about we just get a win?

Not that I'd complain at all if your prediction paid.

Score here

Overtime.

Momentum Kansas. ?

Need to get a jump on 'em

No more Time Outs.

Gonna be settled here soon.

Tied 21 sec

And YET, we're down 3

We've barely been shooting other than the middle of the first half.

Rest of time, throwing it at the rim.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

@Bwag Using those timeouts is not changing tonight. Their shots have been short from the tip tonight.

Don't think can get some fire going a little earlier to disrupt the pattern that had developed over 17 min of the second half?

Bowling pin defense there.

That TO and foul hurt

Or just preview of a comeback?

28.6% shooting. About 25% from 3 now.

Not gonna win games like that.

What's the cause?

Tired legs?
Law of averages?
4 out - 1 in, vulnerable?

@Texas-Hawk-10 said:

All these shots coming up short is a sure fire sign of tired legs. Self needs to give these guys a couple of days off from practice. Rest is what this team needs more than anything else right now.

And he has 3 time outs left. Now 2

@HawkChamp said:

@Bwag other teams have done it. More excuses

4 guard rotation teams with no inside game?

Here's the question. Is our rotation and all those minutes starting to affect us?

Or is Mason still recovering? But that doesn't explain everyone else trying to toss it in the ocean tonight.

Self has 3 timeouts still. Saving them for something?

WV still has 34 fouls to give

@JayHawkFanToo said:

I say give the ball to Frank and Mason and have drive and score or draw the foul....

I say that's what we've been doing and it's not working.

@DCHawker said:

8 minutes in and still only 2 buckets in this half. 4 of our starters have 1 bucket each. Hard to figure this one out....

We're pressing now. Wouldn't call anything as really running an offense.

Looks like bad ball to me.

WV goes to their fall down strategy

@DoubleDD said:

Take it to the rim all day and all night.

Make shots however we can
