De Sousa

@DanR Does that apply to us as well? I think we're due for a few 3's.

If ETSU was smart they would just start fouling Doke we he gets it deep in the paint like he has been

Linda Cohn is immortal.

We need Patches O'Houlihan to give us some ball-handling drills.

@BShark It is but to be honest that ball just found the ETSU player.

I miss Frank and Devonte.

I didn't see much of a foul on Enaruna there.

Braun can never do that for me again.

I thought @BShark had a good comp for Enaruna - Tayshaun Prince.

Ochai Agbadji

Garrett Payton.

@BeddieKU23 UAPB is really really bad though. Zags beat them by 50. The Grand Canyon Antelopes beat them by 13.

KState is tied with Arkansas-Pine Bluff at half-time. Arkansas-Pine Bluff is 0-3 on the season.

Reporter: Shooting 60% WHAT'S WRONG?

Self: "Well, Grimes plays for Houston now, so."

Tough shot. I'll take +12 at half.

Iowa apparently does not teach their players how to feed the post.

Some of these entry passes, yikes.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, but they will hack.

@DanR And Nova.

That ETSU guard just carried the hell out of the ball, jeez.

If Doke gets that jump-hook down it's over. That looked good.

I thought Enaruna fouled him on the first shot-attempt. So I guess that's fair.

This version of Kansas beats Duke by double-digits. I want a rematch.

what the hell, Ochai??

Doke's lack of dribbling is pleasing me so far.

@BShark No reason we shouldn't be elite. If we're not it's your fault.

It's pretty nice when you can have players like De Sousa, Moss, and Enaruna coming off the bench.

@BShark Wide-open at the easiest place to shoot a 3-pointer, though. That's probably the most open that guy has been all season. We need to play better defense.

This team we're playing tonight isn't too bad. Let's not be Kentucky.

I wish frank had an opportunity

I think this every time I see that Graham had a good game.

You can't really look like a bad-ass when you're losing by 55.

Yikes.

Other than Wiggins being a lot more athletic and probably a little bit better shooter, what's the difference between him and Enaruna?

Baylor tied with the Texas St Bobcats at halftime playing at home.

Dave with the heat check. The heater is not plugged in.

Moss is the sauce.

@BShark Then another fast break to the bench.

Wait, was this the team that Kansas St was losing to by 9 at halftime???

So next season should be pretty fun.

Who the hell did Monmouth beat?

Andrew Wiggins = 30/8/7 tonight with a +/- of +24 in a blowout win over the Spurs.

Andrew through 11 games is averaging 25.9/5.1/3.6 and shooting 47.8/36.1/73.6. PER will probably be around 22 after tonight's stats compile. If he keeps this up he'll be an all star. His problem has always been staying hungry though. I hope he has turned the corner mentally.

He's still only 24 years old. He's actually 1 day younger than Devonte Graham.

Road games are hard.

Nova playing at Ohio St right now. Let's hope Nova wins tonight because we will be losing at Nova later this season.

Shortly after ESPN released an article headlined, "Get used to Kentucky being #1."

This season is really wide open.

@Crimsonorblue22 I agree with Enaruna getting time. He has so much upside and just needs experience.

With Dotson, I don't think it was just Tre Jones or Duke's defense that gave him problems. Our offense wasn't great. Our post-passing sucked, our big-men can't shoot, and probably the biggest thing was that we started three guys last night who didn't attempt a 3-pointer. The lack of perimeter options and lack of spacing forced Dotson into some tough plays. He could have played better but I don't think it was entirely Dotson's fault.

Why do people think it's impossible for us to clean up the turnovers? Isn't that the natural progression of a team as they get more experience playing in a system together with their teammates? I think so.

I'd say all turnovers have some degree of carelessness, which is in part caused by an uncertainty of what to do in a particular situation or what a teammate will do in a particular situation. That uncertainty decreases as players get more comfortable in their roles and with their teammates. They understand their teammates' behavior and body language, and are better able to predict what they are going to do.

They also can learn how to do things better (like feed and pass out of the post) and things that they shouldn't do (leave your feet to throw a pass), and that helps too.

So, ya, I think we can clean it up a little.

If we're going to play 2 big-men then our bigs need to get better at passing out of double-teams and the other players need to know exactly what to do right away when the double comes and sprint to their spots. We just need to get to the point in the offense where our big has a 1-on-1 match-up in the post or he's doubled and our ball movement is quick enough that someone else gets an open shot. Double-teams shouldn't be rewarded with turnovers, it should give someone else a quality look.

What's your question?
