That wasn’t a block on Harvard. Bad refs all around.
At least we get to shoot at the other rim next half.
This is not aesthetically pleasing. Refs joining both teams in sucking it up.
Yowza.
@RockChalkinTexas they’ve had enough open looks for even a bad shooting team to make 1.
Ick.
@FarmerJayhawk Lol, I took this as you were looking to change companies for work and were asking for general info on “companies” and I was like, that’s a very general question. Good luck with the move. (And wish me and my reading comprehension luck as well)
@FarmerJayhawk agreed that our chances are as good as anyone but still highly unlikely. Repeats just don’t happen that often and selfishly, I’d like this team to believe that no one thinks they can win this thing. Chips win Ships. Jalen was all in on the no one believed in us train last year and if we keep him there this year that can only be good for us.
@Jethro totally agree and MOST guys don’t figure it out at Kansas right away.
What freshmen or transfers have really gotten it right away?
Off the top of my head I’ve got Kevin and Gradey, Dotson, sherron, oubre maybe but certainly not to the level of McCullar and Gradey. Who am I missing?
@Kcmatt7 in all honesty I don’t think selfishness is really the problem. It’s that the ball sticks when it gets to him. He’s still catching the ball, then thinking, then making a decision. Bill doesn’t mind if guys shoot open shots but he hates when the ball doesn’t move. The only guy that gets to stand a dribble is Harris and that’s because you know he is setting up the action for everyone else, directing traffic, getting the ball screens, etc. everyone else on the floors job is to move and when the get the ball keep it moving whether that is toward the basket or with a shot or a drive, or swinging the ball to the second and third or even fourth side of the floor. That’s what I’ve noticed is missing when MJ plays.
I think Udeh and zuby have been caught in that blender of ball movement and rotation as well as the other guys move it so fast it’s hard to keep up and be in the right spot.
It’s honestly astounding that Gradey and McCullar have both been able to play that way so far.
Same is true on defense. Bill demands you not only guard your man but react immediately to help and rotate. Help the helper. His best teams help the helpers helper.
The young guys are still in thinking then acting mode instead of reacting or even anticipating. I wouldn’t be surprised to see MJ have a few breakout games in February or March ala Malik Newman.
I’m glad we finally have a big challenging for best player on the team with cam up there. He and Jank are clearly starters that self needs to get more playing time for. We talk about needing bench scoring. It’s right there with two elite players (statistically speaking) languishing at the very end of the bench.
I’d argue 12 minutes for zuby all in extended runs with no quick hook is better than 6 for zuby and 6 for Udeh. Udeh got a lot of run early in the season and I imagine his time will come again.
But I like the idea of giving guys a good full run. Only thing keeping zuby from more minutes today was his own conditioning.
With the 5 posisiton what it is right now, KJ still needs as much time as possible to gel with the other four on the floor.
It’s easy to forget that 3 of the starters weren’t contributing to this team at all last year so them getting rolling and gelling with each other is as valuable if not more so than bench minutes for the second teamers.
@jayballer67 really Gradey being so much more than just a shooter makes us so good. He’s taking on both Och’s shooter role and Braun’s dunker energy guy role all in one player.
What a luxury to have two McDonald’s all Americans that can’t find the floor. I know we’d like more from them but importantly THEY know we need more from them if they want to even play.
If we can get 15-25 good minutes from Bobby and 15 or so from freshmen bigs we will be solid. Yesefu and Rice can be wildcard 8th men that can go for 20 if they are hot.

21 bench points today which is good.
Bench big got to play with Juan. Bobby remembered he can drive and score.
@nwhawkfan needed to talk about how you can’t play off the shooters because Juan can get the ball to anyone on the court whenever he wants.
Don’t think self was happy about that 3 ball.
Decent chant here today.
Let’s go MJ.
Lol.
Strong take there.

look how hard we're playing...we're 22 points ahead, and we're getting floor burns...
This team gets it! And gets after it
Starts with Jalen and Juan. Ochai is gonna have such a lasting impact on this program.
@Eric-san said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Roof would've collapsed had Juando hit that 3
Pretty sure the field house can take it.
Dick to Harris for three would have been nice.
We might be the matchup nightmare for other teams this year.
Juan and Kevin are a cheat code.
Zuby tired again.
@wissox said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Juan's not my God :)
Might be mine.
IU played bad the first half and have improved their game in the second.
I’d say it feels like we are playing at like a B level and still winning by 20. So that’s good.

Everyone playing well except for Jalen
why would you say that? we're ahead by freaking 20 points, dude
“We will be PERFECT in every aspect of the game!” - Denzel
He was about two plays slow on adjusting to the IU adjustments out of the half. That’s it.
@FarmerJayhawk pretty much.
@DanR said in KU vs. The Indiana Hoosiers Saturday 11AM This is a BIG GAME!!!:
Juan pulled two guys out to mid court
They have to or he will punish him. Honestly the best they’ve done at controlling him.
Guys getting frustrated with refs.
What a freaking pass
Jalen is pressing.
Oooh. A little seal from zuby. Landen light.
Juan begrudgingly scoring since they are playing off him.
@BeddieKU23 definitely looking for some leadership right now. No reason to let this thing get close.
@wissox they are out physicalling us right now for sure.
Some bad bounces to start this half. Plays that were steals in the first half have bounced Indiana’s way leading to east buckets.
Kevin got fouled.
Yikes. Bobby. Can’t do that.
On both ends.
@Jethro missing Dejuan.
You do have to love those Indiana warm ups.
Struggling with rotation on the double teams.
