We had several chances to get it to an 8 point lead and couldn't get a decent shot off in 4 possessions...

@BShark He is an athlete - not yet a basketball player. Not a good ball handler or passer, and not a consistent shooter (form and release are issues). He does have good size and is a plus defender, so if he can improve is shot or handle, he can at last play overseas -- maybe even get a shot at bench minutes in the NBA - but not as a drafted player.

The same type of turnovers we see every game too
KU might actually be the worst ball handling - passing team in the top 50 in the nation...

So KU has lost to the 3 best teams they have played. So I’m not sure how good they are but I will say it’s not nearly as good as some people and polls think.
Yes, KU has lost to the 3 best teams we've played, while Baylor has beaten Villanova, Arizona, Butler, Texas Tech and us (at home). Doesn't seem like there is much question that Baylor is the better team, at least until this point.
Because of our defense and size/length, we can play with anyone and beat them on most nights. But it is clear at this point that this is a deeply flawed team offensively - no consistent outside threat from anyone, only two decent ball handlers and no one that passes well. It's very difficult to envision this team winning 6 in a row against good competition.
Ol' fashioned ass-whupping...

Anyone still laughing at Drew? Dude can coach.
Yeah, I don't get the constant sniping. He's done pretty well - and consistently so - with relatively little NBA level talent. His guys seem to play hard.
We've got size and length - they've got shooters and ball handlers
Back to half time lead. Think we had our run...
4-7 on 3s early -- 0-7 since...

WE HAVE NO SHOOTERS!!!
That is a true fact...
That sequence really hurt...
Somebody has to step up for us to score enough - really has to be Ochai, but he doesn't seem to have his head in the game...
25 minutes of play at home and still zero points from our bigs...
@Woodrow Even if we hold them to 20 in the half, we have to score 33 to tie. Tough to see where those points come from...
BeddieKU23 said:
Probably not getting 50
We may not get 40 at this rate...
D pretty good these first 3 minutes, but just 2 points...

Next man up
Character will be revealed...
Would have to go back to look at the play by play, but the +- with the two big lineup is awful...

We were up 20-15 at one point, and we had momentum. Then for some reason Self decided to play a lineup with Silvio, Mac, Marcus, and Ochai. Honestly that was awful by Self.
Had a lot to do with only scoring 4 in the last 8 minutes, but after holding them to 15 points in the first 12 minutes, we gave up 22 in the last 8. Intensity just disappeared...
Last 8 minutes of the half -- 22-4 run by Baylor...
4 points in 7 minutes....
They are on a 17-4 run...
None of our bigs have scored. Bad entry passes and getting stripped/stuffed...
Go back to the 2 bigs and promptly give up the 5 point lead...
@DanR Didn't need to ... ;)
@DanR Did you ever see her in Alias....
3 of 9 on 2 pt shots -- but, 4 of 7 on 3s...
@KirkIsMyHinrich It's going to be a constant issue - just not good ball handlers and passers...
Lots of dribbling aimlessly and weak passing
@KirkIsMyHinrich But it's less awful than ours right now...
@kjayhawks We'll beat the Duke performance at this rate...
This team cannot execute in crunch time...
@msanchez Good point. Have given up a ridiculous 20 ORBs..
WVU has 41-26 RB edge
3 fouls on Silvio in about 3 minutes
Player of the game so far - CB with 6pts, 4rbs, and 2stls - when most needed
Have held WVU to 8 points in 11 minutes. Make that 10.
4th on McG
@Woodrow 3-13 from deep...
Doke actualloy 50% at the FT line. Everyone else 3-7...Make than 4-8...
@msanchez Huggy teams always have. It's called coaching...
@stoptheflop You will happy less than half the time...
We've only had 3 players score.
@Woodrow Double-double in the 1st half...
2-11 from 3. Under 50% on FTs. Give up 12 ORBs. 10 TOs. Not gonna win many games. Lucky we're just down 6...
Huggy just knows how to scheme against us and we don't adjust...
@Crimsonorblue22 Still not sure we would make anything???
Kinda glad I can't actually watch this game. 5 points in 7 minutes at home. 1-7 from floor. 4 TOs. WTF...
@Woodrow Crowd at WSU for Ole Miss came seems to be pumped...
@DCHawker ISU was favored by 25.5. Florida A&M's first win EVER against a Power 5 conference. 0-109 before this debacle (for ISU).
