@BShark one way of putting it 😂
HOLY HELL THIS OSU ENDING
@BShark his stoke is unreal though: can’t deny that
@BShark i think he will be a scorer for sure. Just that first possession he was in the guard went around him and I just imagine that is very scoutable
@BShark I hope. But you know my thoughts
@Kcmatt7 said in Michigan State Game Thread:
@wissox I would not play him.
And I hope I eat these words
@wissox I would not play him.
@BShark just confident enough. But mostly looks like he plays within the flow and offense
Just play 4 guards and let Jalen play the 5 when Dave isn’t in
Ochai absolutely improved. Dave looks good. JCL looks good.
Add Jalen to this mix and wowza
@BeddieKU23 Literally 4 starting quality PGs on one team when last year we had just Jaun and he wasn’t ready
They lost half of their scoring from a 15-13 team. There is a reason that they started the season unranked...
I hope he finishes like 4th in the league and saves his job again. Trademark Bruce
@nwhawkfan Absolutely need to see the offense find some sort of mojo. Still unbelievable to me that we haven't been able to do anything for 3 weeks.
Have to wonder if some of it is bad luck (i.e. calling a deep shot play for cover 2 but getting a shell cover 4 look instead and vice versa). Have to wonder how much is Pat just not looking like himself. If maybe he is a little gun-shy from all of the picks.
@rockchalkjayhawk The supporting cast is a big issue. But Pat is also just not seeing the defense well.
This team desperately needs to win 1 of 2 before the bye week, and then hopefully they can sort of reset and get some mojo back.

We've picked up 44 wins against UK in the Bill Self Era. And if I were a betting man that expands this season...
@BShark 9 point victory, but wow I was expecting them to be better with the grad transfers
DUB.
But a close game only because we are missing two rotation players if JCL is out. Fully healthy squad runs them outta the gym I think.
- PG - Harris
- SG - Remmy
- SF - Och
- SF2 - Jalen
- C - Dave
- 1B - Braun
- 2B - Yesufu
- 3B - JCL
- 4B - Cam/Mitch/KJ/Zach
- 5B - Bobby
That is just such a nasty 10 deep rotation.
Zach you aren’t blocking that shot bro. Stay on the ground
@BShark I don’t think he finished his college career here, but a lot can change. Just seems so slow and not a great fit. Bill won’t care if he shoots 60% from 3 if he can’t play D. Saw that with BG
Bobby looks better than JY so far
@DanR took 6 years but he finally added the 3 to his game 😂
Poor Bobby looks like he’d get run in a normal year… too deep this year
This team looks good and Jalen and JCL aren’t even playing lol. Good to see.
@KirkIsMyHinrich a little. Looked fine.
@DanR He looks like he has "it." As much as 7:29 can tell you about a player.
Athletic, big, smart, coordinated.
@Bosthawk I'm good with it. This offense wasn't much to look at last season, Marcus Garrett (bless his heart he's going to do great things), just was not meant to run the 1 for Bill Self. Especially not without another guard who could get to the hoop.
Remy & 3rd year Harris & Yesufu will keep this team moving.
Lol this is so fun to watch. Not a million post feeds
@DanR lot of fast breaks
@BShark watch how Ochai and Braun’s 3pt % skyrockets this year with a guy (or two or three) who can collapse a defense.
Did I just see a guard get to the basket without a ball screen? Didn’t know you could do that.
@FarmerJayhawk we’ll be lucky to even win this game.
0-28
@BShark oh you’re gonna see him play okay. Accept it now
Mitch is going to get so much time this year lol
Ah the CB fadeaway sideways floater didn’t disappear this off-season. Such a high quality shot.
@BShark I have no doubt. Just funny…
@BShark we added 5 new guys with rotation potential and none of them are starter level lol.
Impressive
@BShark this start feels like we are watching the exact same team as a year ago. Obviously premature statement, but…
@BeddieKU23 here we call that “Sherron-ing”
@Oldmanhawk yea but he was their best player down the stretch… figured he was offered a starting spot (and maybe he was until Remy)
Talking Yesufu to come here and not start is the biggest effing coup if that is really how it goes.
@wissox Yep I am actually with you - just look at the Brit Reid and Henry Ruggs stories as to why. The world does not care that you are rich or famous or who your dad is once you get behind the wheel intoxicated. 10,000 drunk driving deaths happen every single year, you don't play around with it.
If you are lax about it, players won't care. Jalen jeopardized his own future when he got behind the wheel... Not Bill's fault.
@BeddieKU23 Seems like this is a good chance for Zach or KJ to get into the rotation early. Would like to see one of those two keep Mitch off the floor
One season without stupid stuff would be amazing
@BShark They'll be more experienced, but I just don't look an 11 seed that went on a Cinderella run as a de facto top 5 team the next year. They were an 11 seed for a reason.
UCLA had a good run but they aren't #2 in the country. They lost 10 games last season and were on a 4 game slide before the tournament.
The reality is that teams know they just have to bend & not break against the Chiefs offense because they know we can't stop them on the other end.
It is a strange turn of the tides that can't happen without an epically bad defense. We've given up 29 points or worse every game so far. Last season we gave up 29 points or more only 4 times all season. With basically the exact same group on that side of the ball.
Ultimately, I think that we've seen a little bit of a Superbowl hangover and some anomalies. Pat and the offense has turned the ball over at a rate that is unlikely to continue, and the defense has played at a level that is also probably far worse than they are actually capable of. If we see ourselves reduce turnovers and play just a bit better on defense this team will get on a roll again.
Crazy to me that UT and USC struggle so much to make a good hire and win as the premier schools in premier recruiting states.
@Marco I guess I don't get the outrage (from anyone who isn't his wife). He did something embarrassing to him and his family, but people are treating it like he sexually assaulted someone.
