Braun and Ochai need to show up. Let's go
@BShark On cue
Need to get Dave some touches. Let him pass out
Silva with a block and an assist there
If we shoot like this against Texas we'll probably lose by 20. Their guards are not going to let us get into the lane so we have to knock down shots.
Or get into the lane somehow I guess.
@BShark Unless there is a B12 tournament game on ESPN+
Save the tape on this half to remind Dave this is how he needs to play all the time. He would have a bunch of assists if our shooters weren't eating glue today.
Like that guy on WVU banking in a 3 to end the half earlier this season.
Garbage shot. Of course that's the one he hits
Embiid's performance was so good last night that it's rubbing off on Dave today.
Bryce!
If we could make wide open 3's today we'd be up 15.
He's wearing Air Jordans. Is it the shoes, Mike?
Dave took my advice about transcendental meditation. Clearly
Zen God of basketball
Dave is awesome today. And we can't make any shots
Dave caught it, secured it, made it?!?!
That was a pretty move by Garrett to find Braun. Braun needs to knock it down
@BShark Kind of a black hole offensively, although he's made a few good passes today.
@BShark Wait about 28 more minutes and then I'm all for the bum comments lol
@BeddieKU23 Doing a good job on McClung so far though
@DCHawker At least we beat Kentucky though
How many times is Vitale going to say microbiology and calculus today?
I think Harris could be a starter. You might be judging a freshman a little harshly.
I don't think Thompson or Harris off the bench is that bad, but Mitch is almost unplayable. Can't wait until next season when we have Clemence/Curry/Adams
Lightfoot damn
I wouldn't mind some over-the-back calls as long as we play hard
Playing hard defensively. Good start. Need to knock down wide open shots
Embiid 50 points, 17 boards, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals on 17/26 shooting and 15/17 from the FT line.
Only other Sixers player to do that? Wilt of course. 4 times
Soccer might help as well. I know Joel played/plays soccer, and he has some of the best footwork in the NBA.
I think boxing training would help Dave with his footwork. And better footwork would help a lot of areas of his game. In boxing, proper footwork is important for utilizing your body to generate power, as well as for movement and positioning. Unfortunately, it can't teach him how to make a lay-up. I don't know how to help him with that. Maybe transcendental meditation.
Good win. Tortillas on Saturday.
@BShark He has a game-high 14 points.
Alright. 3-game stretch from hell to tell us where this team is at. 2/3 would be nice.
I'm not sure anyone thinks less of Bruce Weber than I do, and even I'm surprised at how badly KState sucks.
Feel like as Bryce gets more comfortable scoring he'll develop into more of a play-maker as well.
@approxinfinity said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
My son thought that the piped in crowd noise was a laugh track. Lol.
Would be appropriate for this one tbh
Ya so no reason not to just play the hell out of Thompson the rest of the season
Jalen Wilson is the only player to make a 3-pointer lmao
@BeddieKU23 Especially against us
Thank God for Wilson
Got a shootout tonight. Just a torrent of buckets right now
@BShark said in KU vs that other team Game Thread:
Tristan hasn't come in the game yet. Hegone.
I'm going to be sad when he's killing it somewhere else.
Just need to win and get out of the time capsule that is Manhattan, KS.
KState is pretty terrible
I've gone to some of KU's games at Colorado when Colorado was still in the B12 and their fans did those kind of chants as well. Horrible fans
Windy gym
Need to get this one before a tough 3-game stretch.
3 points off the bench and it was a Tristan 3-pointer.
Rebound
Nice pass Jalen
