How is that not a block?

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:42 PM

If we come out of this with a mad af CB and a not broken JWill a loss may not be a biggie

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:41 PM

Is this the game CB goes Alpha?

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:37 PM

You’re not going to win a lot of games your opponent takes 12 more shots than you

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:33 PM

Lol KJ isn’t going to get one minute this half is he? Would be ideal to have in the middle of the zone

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:32 PM

TTU interior passing is unbelievable. So good

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:30 PM

Lol Jalen getting hot hot

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:30 PM

@KirkIsMyHinrich was just going to say

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:29 PM

@approxinfinity I wouldn’t bet money on it personally…

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:29 PM

@BShark would be so funny if Bill just leaned into it for one season. Especially with this team in transition, a zone could be kinda nasty…

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:20 PM

@approxinfinity looked like a foul to me

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:20 PM

Fine with the quick shot, speed the game up if you csn

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:19 PM

@approxinfinity yes but not asking him to do much in the zone at least. Just be long

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:18 PM

Love this idea. Zone with Zach and try to shoot our way back in

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:13 PM

Bill waving the white flag with the zone

@Kcmatt7 Why are you two still commenting? You called game. Get lost!

Just mute me. You’d be doing me a favor tbh

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:08 PM

@BShark got spanked without their best two offensive players

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:07 PM

This game is about to get turned off

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:05 PM

Defense needs to force a TO and get a dunk

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:05 PM

@approxinfinity literally was sagging off his man on the open layup and didn’t even bother the shot. He’s useless on defense

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 10:03 PM

Dave basically guarding no one rn.

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:59 PM

The types of looks we’ve got we should be shooting 50% from deep. Hope some regression to the mean happens here

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:57 PM

That’s game.

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:57 PM

Please put KJ in. He is the only one who can rebound with them

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:35 PM

Okay we figured out the post. KJ for the rest of the day.

Now figure out how to score a bit. Honestly they’re gifting threes. Like wide open threes. Just make a few

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:32 PM

One of those days

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:28 PM

Do play KJ like as many minutes as he can go.

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:05 PM

Braun could shoot a little more from deep if he wanted... Wouldn't bother me

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:00 PM

"Let me wait until I'm guarded and then take a shot triple teamed"

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 09:00 PM

DAVE HOLY HELL

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 08:57 PM

I do agree that if Remy was good to go he should have started

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 08:56 PM

@benshawks08 glad I'mnot the only one who noticed lol

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 08:52 PM

That was a questionable charge... Thought he was moving

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 08:43 PM

UT in TROUBLE now

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 08:37 PM

Jalen for 20 ppg today. book it

@Kcmatt7 said in Non-KU Games:

Bryce would have been so much better served to stay at KU... This OSU offense just has no structure or flow. Probably could have ended up being something special by the end.

I thought like Grimes he could have developed here and been fine. The problem was the same in both instances. :older_adult:

I honestly understood Grimes' gripe. Wanted the ball in his hands more and wasn't going to get it. A clash of strategy.

I would have thought Bryce's dad playing for Self would have helped the mindset that "it might take 4 years but Bill's got you." And Bryce never looked like he was as refined of a player as Grimes was. Idk, just my thoughts.

But yea dad's always see their kids in a different light than reality...

Kenpom Tempo:

  • Baylor - 103
  • KU - 46
  • Texas - 351
  • TTU - 293
  • OU - 216
  • ISU - 197
  • WVU 243
  • OSU 89
  • TCU - 263
  • KSU - 321

Future B12 teams:
- Houston - 298
- UCF - 202
- Cincy - 233
- BYU - 119

B12 basically the equivalent of B10 football this season.

@DanR said in Non-KU Games:

I'm going to fall asleep watching this osu texas game

I feel like this is B12 basketball this season. KU pretty much the only fun team. Baylor is crazy good and efficient, but entertainment value-wise they are kinda boring

@rockchalkjayhawk I'll be streaming one and watching one on the big screen and yelling at both, no doubt!

I’m still debating which one gets the big screen

Red Raiders • Jan 08, 2022 06:45 PM

Jalen Wilson breakout game

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 06:32 PM

AWFUL foul call there

Non-KU Games • Jan 08, 2022 06:30 PM

Purdues D makes ours look good.

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 07, 2022 11:07 PM

@FarmerJayhawk Yea I'd bet if you replaced 17 Teahan minutes with BMac and we have a different ball game.

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 07, 2022 11:04 PM

@approxinfinity Bill messed with Oubre too much Imo. I thought he should have started day 1 and just let him figure out stuff on the court. But that's never been Bill's style (except with Grimes which is still weird tbh).

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 07, 2022 07:13 PM

It took Malik Newman like 25 games before he finally "got it" so I'm personally not panicked. Outside of Josh Jackson I can't remember a single guy who ever came in and just was the perfect Bill Self player in both mentality and talent.

NBA draft 2022 • Jan 07, 2022 04:40 PM

CB still seeming like he would be a late 2nd round pick at best from what I've looked at.

Plenty of time to move up and he's probably gotten the eye of scouts by now though. KU needs to make sure his NIL stuff is good enough he's back for next season.

Good News re The Athletic • Jan 07, 2022 03:38 PM

I would have loved to see them link up with Bleacher Report. That would have been a good duo.

Health is wealth • Jan 05, 2022 06:57 PM

@mayjay I bought a pull cart this last year. Walked probably 10 rounds with it. Goal for 2022 is to walk at least 50.

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 05, 2022 06:21 PM

@DCHawker I don't really know how you can use kenpom rankings as an argument against the offense, and then ignore that kenpom has KU ranked as the 4th best offensive team in the country.

I mean out of the top 10 in Kenpom, we've played the 2nd hardest schedule so far. And our defensive schedule is actually 37th in the country. So as far as scoring against good defenses, we have done it against a top 15% schedule.

Meaning we have the 7th best FG% and 8th most points ppg in the country against a reasonably hard schedule.

Teams ahead of us in FG%

  • Gonzaga - 265 SOS - 252 DSOS
  • Colorado State - 269 SOS - 246 DSOS
  • South Dakota State - 132 SOS - 140 DSOS
  • Purdue - 114 SOS - 214 DSOS
  • Loyola (IL) - 147 SOS - 84 DSOS
  • Murray State - 164 SOS - 277 DSOS

The only team playing anywhere near our level of schedule and scoring the ball more efficiently than us is Loyola Chicago. If you do the same with PPG, the story is basically the same. Except sub out CSU and Loyola for Cornell (278 SOS - 320 DSOS), Arizona (157 SOS - 184 DSOS) and Iowa (255 SOS - 209 DSOS).

Point being - KU is scoring the ball very well pretty much no matter how you want to look at it. And they've done it against a way harder schedule than the majority of the other top teams in the country so far.
