Hunter, sweet looking shot there.
I'm blaming Miles Simon.
@DanR Not necessarily. Gonna have to get after it though and guard Tinkle...we needed a defender that was so close that he was still holding Tinkle during halftime as he tinkled.
Our shooting...ridiculous 9/24 37% and 2/7 28% from 3pt.
If I calculated correctly 41% from 2 point...not sure how many of those would be considered inside the paint, but that's PITIFUL.
OSU shooting 70% from 3pt land...fools gold 7/10 and 75% from FT
8/15 from FT line...some of those would have helped.
@jaybate-1.0 We've had our hands on our knees at breaks in the action
And we've all been arguing over performance against Harvard/Holy Cross...
All KU players had hands on they knees there. What the heck.
That was pitiful Payton splitting BG and WS
Time for another run and how about we hit some FT's.
Why is Tinkle even catching the damn ball...really guys, the old saying need to be in his jock strap
Need to be holding him when he Tinkles.
Guard that SOB
@Crimsonorblue22 Time to smother him...he's going to shoot the three till he starts missing.
9-0 run...needed that, but can't come back out of TO flat.
Good rebound there!
@jaybate-1.0 I saw none of the first half.
@JRyman wasn't that in ref to crowd participation at the game, people that more or less sat on their hands while sitting in the expensive seats closer to the court?
@jayballer54 good commentary.
Hunter took 1 shot. Haven't seen first half yet, but was apparently and it shows in stat sheet with items in all categories you want (minus pts). He did have 3 PF's and one was stupid.
I'd like to see us run the same personnel in about the same min distributions against a better team and see what the results are.
@JayHawkFanToo watched a few bits pieces of 2nd half of WSU and wasn't impressed with their offense at all.
@jaybate-1.0 and now I read this:
"I told them, `Don't go near an offensive rebound. A shot goes up, just get back," Crusaders coach Bill Carmody said, "and they still beat us back in transition."
@jaybate-1.0 I saw five HC players running back on D after single shot. Haven't seen the 1st half yet at all.
To make this case for me, your going to have to demo what your asserting cause I didn't see it that way at all.
@jaybate-1.0 all sounds good, BUT Holy Cross, didn't give us the running game. What I saw in my limited viewing was HC sending zero people to the Offensive boards and all Five running back on D after one shot for the main part.
KU created pace with a combination of better athletes, variety of presses applied intermittently, and just playing fast - take open shots.
This game appears to have given our raw or underutilized big talent some time to develop. Iron out their wrinkles of their games. Plenty to coach them on SO they actually improve. Coaching game situation and result has to be more effective than practice situation. In 'kids' minds, a greater relationship of cause and effect in situations they see as real versus "roll eyes, there goes dad being dad again".
Hunters 0 certainly came in under what I would have expected, but to some of your point, the outside shooting % in first half would have probably contributed to limited scoring inside along with perhaps lower RB counts. Be interesting to look at O & D RB's between games (Harv v HC) to see if they paint a picture.
Just don't have time to do so now and still haven't watched the first half, nor the 2nd very closely.
I look forward to the advanced analytics and commentary sure to come forth.
@DoubleDD I watched this a while back (if that's the whole game) and it was quite enjoyable.
I remember having my hands clinched on the chair arms when the halftime buzzer sounded and the score at 50-50!
@wrwlumpy And look what happened...won easily (not always pretty) when we sit the two folks generating the talk. Now let the philosophical battle continue, right? :-)
what we can and can not take from this game vs. Harvard and why...
@jaybate-1.0 hard to say anyone shined the 2nd half. Pretty pedestrian. I didn't see any of the 1st half.
@jaybate-1.0 or you lost the argument and Self benched them. 😀
Just kiddin'. No Malice!
@jaybate-1.0 reportedly minor aches being rested. Toe/ankle
@DoubleDD agreed. A little disappointed in Mick's 0 pts. Seemed active otherwise with not an outstanding 2nd half. Didn't see first half yet.
@wissoxfan83 I got ESPN and half time crew on the deuce said same.
@wissoxfan83 12-20 from 3
@tundrahok that's fools gold there
63% FG
60% 3 pt
100% FT
Crowd Rock Chalk Chant is weak.
I'll take this game over Harvard.
@wissoxfan83 he and Lucas slight injuries. Cover so he can rest them to start the rest of the season.
Gonna be good arguments this week over player pt and style of play.
CD doing some ironing tonight. Let's get wrinkles out.
LOVE the pressure.
Self looks nervous
@globaljaybird yep. Still time to go to see how things play out, but the arguing over what we can take away from this game around player pt and style of play is probably not gonna go away.
@Crimsonorblue22 10 pt
@Crimsonorblue22 more a response to @jaybate-1.0 argument for LL JT
@brooksmd 3-4 from 3 I think.
@jaybate-1.0 what was half-time score?
Pressure was good
@wissoxfan83 just got home turned on 3 and yeah, not like I heard a little on the radio
