Need a PG. this offense is a joke. Nobody but Wilson can get in the lane

Miss the crowd here

If this team doesn’t take/make enough threes they won’t win. 7 threes attempted isn’t enough

@BShark imagining Kai Jones on this KU team makes me want to cry

Legit shocked me

I don’t even think UK lacks talent.

They just can’t shoot and their coach is a poor game manager.

@Marco usually I would agree, but the SEC is one of the worst conferences.

@approxinfinity I didn’t know UVA could even play at a pace that would allow 100 points from a a single team.

Imagine a Wisconsin game allowing 100 points without it going to overtime.

RJ had a dad who wanted to cash in on his son

@BShark lol last years team with RJ would have been insane

Gonzaga with 74 on a UVA defense with 10 minutes left.

That Zags team is insanely good.

@BShark watching UK fans want Cal fired is too good

An analytically woke Bill Self should be terrifying to everyone else

I would bet that games where KU hits 16 threes Bill Self is undefeated

This team is very likable. They play super hard and are very selfless

You could tell which team played better the first half. One adjustment in the locker room and here we are

@BeddieKU23 oh they’ve been awful.

Pretty clear Bill doesn’t trust the young bucks to play offense against the zone.

+16 with Dave on the floor

Braun 6 assists tonight

7 rebounds for Dave too. Which considering, is a good night for him

Dave has 3 assists. That’s HUGE

@nwhawkfan if he plays like this the rest of the season we are a contender

This team looks more like what a team of basically all 6’5 guards and Dave should look like.

Only complaint is letting a scrub get hot. Otherwise we have played pretty well

Passing has been so good today I’m not screaming to put in Dujaun

Dave is finding his role

Also Garrett isn’t driving to the basket and setting up volleyballs to get spiked tonight

Team chemistry is starting to look good. Finding open guys in good spots for three

Idc what he had shot coming into the game. If a team has a below average athlete white kid starting you know it is because he can shoot and you need to guard him

These are the games that KU loses in the field house. Some random dude has a career game

@wissox two charges and a moving screen on our foul count. It isn’t that far spread as you’re making it seem

@wissox they’ve gone zone.

Foul count is a silly way to measure officiating

How does this team struggle against a zone? Put Garret at the high post and Dave in the short corner.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:

Charge calls are so so bad this season.

It’s been absurd. Slide under and fall down

Why did Doke get shit on so bad by Oscar last year?

Big Dave hanging in there with no real blunders.

CB is a warrior on the boards.

If we would guard McNiel we’d be up 9-10

I hate these games. Hate their style.

They don’t speed you up, they just foul the shit out if you for 40 minutes and hope the refs are cowards and refuse to call fouls.

My least favorite game of the year every year

If we can get a rebound on defense we will win.

If they get two shots every time down the floor we won’t.

I could definitely see that zone come back out.

Dave needs to play not bad today.

@BShark I don’t fault him. I just don’t k is it was the correct decision.

I thought Dotson should have stayed. I think he could have played himself into the first round had he worked on his 3 ball in the offseason.

I can tell you if I’m the Chiefs I am bringing pressure all day. Hit Brees 15 times.

I like he Chiefs by two scores today.

Tristan strikes me as a guy who needs to be in a system that let's him go get buckets and play less defense. I want him to stay all four years. Just not sure he does.

I think he could score if given the opportunity. But Bill Self thinks he can basically manufacture more points than the other coach so if you can't play good enough defense he doesn't give a damn. About the only guy I can ever remember Self giving minutes to for their offensive skills alone is Brannen Green. And he may have had the best J of anyone who has ever put on a KU Basketball jersey and STILL was a bench player.

Dave is just... Sigh.

Bill played Enaruna at the 5 some last night which is encouraging.

@BShark I may honestly enjoy watching UK more than watching KU win games. The satisfaction is really indescribable.

If UK keeps up the suckage and Bill somehow wins the street car derby with a trash can lid on roller skates KU may cut the all-time wins down to single digits this year.

I didn't see until today that UK is 1-4 and play UNC tomorrow and Lousiville after that lol

Bill Self is unbelievable. The man is a College Basketball God and he does not get near enough credit outside of our fanbase.

The literal fun police

At least a couple of months. Play into the first half of June. it isn't like the players aren't taking summer classes and on campus all year anyways.

@AsadZ if they even could just get back Osemele to be able to run behind in 3rd and short this team would be that much better.

I’m actually a bit surprised we haven’t made a roster move to at least see if we could at least bring in a guard who can run block.
