Mayo our only slasher?
Storr should be as well. We simply don't have guys who can take their man off the dribble and attack the rim - get layups or draw fouls. Pattern over the last couple of years of opponents getting more FT attempts, even at AFH...
1-8 on WIDE open 3s...
Hunt is fully engaged...
Love pushing it up the floor...Don't love getting beat off the dribble and giving up shots near the rim or FTs...

BIG 12 looking strong early. League teams only have two losses and both losses are to ranked teams. Of course Baylor got whooped, but then beat Arkansas. Got quite a few wins against ranked teams already.
B12 has a gaudy record with only the 2 losses, but only 4 teams have played a decent foe - virtually no Power 5 opponents. Basically, the B12 is 3-2 against ranked teams - wins against UNC, Arkansas and TA&M - losses to Gonzaga and Auburn...

Did anyone know SMU is in the ACC now? Dallas, Atlantic Coast, makes perfect sense. At least Stanford and Cali are on a coast.
SMU is only 250 miles from a coast.... ;)

Anyone catch that KJ had 37 minutes?! I thought his minutes would go down this year? I was told his minutes would go down? I’ll be honest, I’m rarely upset watching KJ play.
The issue is 37 minutes and 2 RBs at the 4 spot...
Good win - but...give up a 15 pts half time lead...huge negative differential at the FT line at home...second straight game in which we dominated in the first half, but defense disappeared in the second half...

UCF with a big win at home vs # 13 Texas A&M
Gonzaga crushed Baylor 101-63...
Bench has outscored starters 39-36...
Outscored the Bison 46-19 in 1st half. Just 26-19 in 2nd...
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Jayhawks in the pros:
How's this for synchronicity:
Ochai and Gradey each had 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
Gradey has been lighting it up for the Raptors. Two 30 pt games before that...
JD 11-28 for 135 yards. Bad throws and bad decisions...
A throw with zero chance of getting a first down...
We'll see if 10-25 JD can complete a pass on this drive...
In all four losses, defense has been incapable of getting stops in the 4th quarter...
Tackling is atrocious....
TCU gave up 66 points to SMU last week. This not a defensive powerhouse...
Wide open receivers - multiple long gains - many missed tackles. Unless we get a TO defense seems incapable of stopping anyone...
@kjayhawks said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
@wissox I honestly feel like we are okay at this point, need to get back to running the ball on first and second down. Defensively we just need to heat his ass up all half and force some more INTs.
Seriously? Give up almost 300 yards in a half. Their QB is 21-26 for 227 yards. Chewing us up. Unless we can more consistently put pressure on him, Hoover is going to continue to light it up...
Daniels continues to make bad decisions - throwing into coverage. What Kotelnicki was able to do was to scheme to get receivers wide open. Not happening with Grimes...
He wasn't throwing to the endzone anyway...
2 shots into the endzone...
@kjayhawks said in Must win tomorrow!:
If Jeff Grimes has a job Monday I’m out
Less Grimes today than countless defensive breakdowns...
Only chance now is a sack...
We simply have no clue how to deal with a QB who can scramble...
They are still in 4 down territory...
Can we actually tackle their QB for a loss for once...
Their QB is under 40% completion, but has accounted for 340 effing yards. Repeat of UNLV...
They will use all 4 downs now, at least until FG range. Not sure we are capable of stopping them 4 downs...
@stoptheflop said in Must win tomorrow!:
Wow, just a 2 min drive by WV for TD. What the hell is going on with our defense?
20+ yards per completion given up - that's what...
Bad call and bad throw...
Why throw on 1st down in that situation? Run the ball and run the clock...
9 penalties for 90 yards...
Amazing how much the OC matters. Mostly same skill guys as last couple of years with more experience and scoring half as many points...
UNLV QB is 7-19 for 86 yards and we could still lose this game...
WTF was that call on 2d and 1...
@wissox That is pretty funny... ;)
We're lucky we didn't get called for the late hit on the QB...
Didn't we run up 600 yards of offense against these guys just 3 games ago???
That was an impressive "drive"....
@nuleafjhawk said in UNLV - Any Bets?:
@DCHawker exactly what I was going to say, except I'll add that Daniels WILL throw 1 or 2 more before the game is over.
There is one of them....
One bad INT - could have been 1 or 2 more. The offense should be handing the ball off with occasional play action on slant routes only...
No pressure on their QB, but still open seams and receivers open. D seems discombobulated...
Just hand the ball off to Devin on every play until UNLV demonstrates they can stop him...
@wissox Jalon's decision making has not been good...
Among others, Sears from Alabama, Love from Arizona, and Karaban from UConn have withdrawn from draft and returning to their current schools. Does Furphy have more upside than any of those three? Perhaps. Is he a better college player that any of them now? No.
But, we know the NBA drafts on potential - whether or not realized is a different matter...

Remarkable IL-UConn game...Huskies 3 guards are 2-17 and team is 1-13 from 3, but they are up 16. They just have so many different weapons and ways to beat you...
25-0 in the second half with 13 minutes to go...
A 33-2 run by UConn. Just stunning against a quality opponent...
