We got into second gear before being double digit down. This one feels different. Marcus is focused.
Making some defensive plays. feels like old marcus

We should be down 15 right now....or up by 10....I can't decide.
This game should not be close...
@BeddieKU23 said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
We are either unlucky getting the outlier shooting nights or the defense is as bad as it looks
I think it's a combination of KU giving up some open 3s early allowing teams to get comfortable and then the other team riding that confidence into making tougher shots even when the D does tighten up.
It's honestly a testament to this team's will to fight that we don't get run out of the gym most games after the way they start most games. I mean, we don't just start most games down 10 points but also down confidence, under pressure, and not in the flow. It's a LOT of work to get all those things back. I guess they just don't know how to manufacture the energy needed to be ready to play. Once they get going they can hang with most teams (not beat them obviously as we've struggled to really put a dent in the early leads we give up) but we aren't THAT much worse than the rest of the big 12.
A big part of it is leadership and this team just doesn't have that. Bill wants it to be Marcus or Dave but they don't seem to have it in them. I think it should be Och but just may not be his personality. Wilson could be it but just isn't quite ready. Braun showed some today but is too inconsistent, I think. Enaruna doesn't play enough which I think many of us would like to see change. But we also wanted Harris to play more and he's clearly not ready. TGF was another supposed savior but alas. We can hope Thompson will be a spark but I never saw it when he played earlier in the year.
Seems like we have some good guys who play hard and seem to really care but just don't have that extra little bit to put them over the top. We will beat the bad teams most nights, and may have another surprise win or 2 over better teams but this is pretty much who we are this year.
Bottom half of the league hurts.
@BShark said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
Never seen a Self defense this bad.
We played good defense for a while to start the 2nd half but they just kept making guarded shots and then it all fell apart again.
Maybe we are building good karma for late with all these career shooting nights for teams and individuals
Tehan?
@approxinfinity they are going to score 90. They all dominated.
@DCHawker said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
Culver and Dave both have 17-9; why does it seem like Culver has dominated???
Because he has everytime he gets the ball. Not enough ball to go around for all the hot shooting for wvu

Can’t let the guards shoot or the ball get in to culver. Killing us inside and out.
Need to play a triangle and 3.... ;)
That’s innovative
@approxinfinity said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
@benshawks08 yup. At this point Marcus is the weakest link.
He used to make up for his offensive woes with fantastic d but his defense has been fine to even bad at some points this season.
Can’t let the guards shoot or the ball get in to culver. Killing us inside and out.
We had a ten point run in this much time to start the half. Could happen again.
Gonna lose this with force feeding the ball to Marcus down the stretch.
Not sure the refs will let us get back in it.
Garrett got hammered
@jayballer67 a handful of assists too
@DanR moving is difficult without knees.
Being in Tristan and put Wilson at the point?
@Kcmatt7 said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
Garrett with the charge and could have been a dunk by Dave instead
Really?
Hot shooting just not going to end.
Disjointed d there
Oops. Mitch.
Braun learning the fall down charge plays.
That call is trash
Call that foul up top. Geez
Wow. Making even the guarded ones
Braun giving the full effort
Oh no. We suck again.
Making good passes?!
Wilson getting confident! Showing some emotion!!!!
Even the open layups going down for us this half.
2 layup s!
Made a layup!
@Kcmatt7 even uncontested laybups...
@Kcmatt7 starting to think this team should just shoot the first even mildly available 3 before we turn it over or air all a 2 footer.

Not sure that Dave bucket should count but I’ll take it.
Nice denial by Tristan
We need to post Ochai more.
What’s the tech for?
@jayballer67 but hard fouls. And effort fouls.
Braun is playing hard.
Marcus...
@approxinfinity Dave has had a couple strips as well but we haven’t been able to hold onto them.
@DCHawker not sure we are good enough passers to pull them off.
Marcus now adding bonehead defense is not a great development
That’s not a travel
Wilson!
