Concerned about the number of assists by the guards. Think Seldon led the way there.

@jaybate-1.0 you're always entertaining and usually enlightening :-) love the literary (and the military) references and allusions that pepper your posts with occasional, no, often, conspiratorial overtones.
I think you're right on here with Mickelson making the case for more playing time. He's bringing more intangibles than any of the other bigs. Tip outs, put backs, and yes, the occasional boneheaded play, but I think those would diminish with pt versus what we see from Jamari. I think Jamari can be great in small doses. Hunter needs playing time until any much superior young talent matures and catches up to the speed of the college game.
@HighEliteMajor re: "take Perry out of the middle".
He was pretty ineffective today and don't know if it's because of length of inside players on Brazil, obviously, he did well against the large Turkey players, but wonder if we won't be hurting this year even with him when we go up against L&A teams.
In my mind, Mickelson needs to get more PT with the energy he brings. That might bring down some of the careless plays he makes from time to time, but he does lots of little things that help keep the ball alive.
Obviously, if one of the young ones come on strong, then it's a different story.
@bskeet it's out there now on LJW site that he tweeed his ankle. No structural damage.
@bskeet wasn't real effective and was reported limped off court?
Sheldon 42 points in first 2 games? Nice
Bragg. Bothered by mask or having to catch up to speed of game?
Big shot by Vick
@brooksmd not sure why there isn't more pressure with 8 second half court clock
7 point game at 57 sec mark
Not sure where foul was there, but we need to close this out
10 points at 1 1/2 min mark
Vick's activity seems good. Agree he'll be an exciting player to watch develop.
Michelson!
Did we weather their push?
Rough call on Moore.. Game tightening. Need to be strong with ball here on out
59-44 end of 3rd.
Good thing no one hurt there
This announcer doesn't know Traylor drives it from top of the key.
@KUSTEVE and tight rims apparently.
Michelson tearing it up, lots of good, small and big plays
Just as I was about to praise Vick's energy, he fell asleep in the lane and let his man break out for a set 3, late to the game.
Michelson continues to bring great activity.
@KUSTEVE he's had some good energy when he came back off the bench I thought.
Traylor, 2 fouls, one a bad call and one stupid at 3/4 court.
Pork butt in the smoker, coffee ready and breakfast is about ready too. KU up at half. Good morning so far.
Gets his first basket when Bra goes to zone
Ellis off
What the hell, those two guys burried Moore while on the ground
Down 1 at first qtr
Not sure why we didn't guard that shot. They are allowing very physical play.
Few minutes late but turned it on in time to see our first point.

@Lulufulu Pick and Pop, quick clock forces shots.
Actually up 8
1 minute same score, Mason scores up 6
Shot clock violation when hurried shot underneath doesn't catch iron
Up 4 with 2 something left. They've missed 4 or so FT's and we don't seem to be getting any calls.
@bskeet As we turn it over again.
@Bwag Missed both
How is that a foul on Lucas...forearm to chest by turkey, backing him in.
63-57
Whose this Turkie guy shooting all the 3's?
Bragg and Lucas working inside.
TV kinda likes 4 morose Turkish dudes...not sure what's up there.
Turkey in zone, we struggle some, miss 2 3 attempts and they make a layup...lead down to 4
@Bwag But Turkey at line and made 2
5:26 remaining 59-51 good guys
@DanR There have been a couple calls for traveling but only inside.
@DanR ALOT of traveling. Apparently not such a big deal to pick up pivot foot before dribbling.
