So many shots missed in the paint tonite. And so many possessions of not boxing out

Ugh. We tried to go hard first 10 and it didn't yield. JWil forcing it. Idk
Rebound the GD ball...
Clean.
Cause he has 3 fouls and we need him down the stretch
Terrific pass
Such a great lil hesitation on that
Suck my?
Well that is a killer
@DanR bet it's above 80%. 🤣
We're doing a very solid containment defense so far. Not really a lot of ball pressure. That's one thing we know this team CAN do well. Give us 10 min solid contain and 10 min Heckle/ball pressure and we're good
@dylans without question
@DanR actually I think we can do much better defensively. But still not for 40. I'd give them that defense for half of this half and the full chisel(assholes and elbows) for the other half and it's a walk off W
Unfortunate truth. But kind of expected on the road. Gonna have to fight thru some bad or no calls
Come out on all cylinders first 10. Hugely important here
Nice finish
Pissed away a great play by Udeh
Fuck
@DanR love guys like the pistol. Talent yes. But worked and worked.
@Crimsonorblue22 how cool. Congrats!!
Pistol Dick? Oh that's nice right? Lol
We forgot what rebounding was
Ya so I guess let them have 3 pointers with nobody within 15 ft of them because of fouls
Probably wouldn't be my defensive strategy but hell. I guess bold move cotton, let see how that plays out for ya
5 missed bunnies
In reality this an elite 8 type game and it should be like this. But dammit I wanna win it. Lol
Goal tend?
Nice shot. Don't ever fuckin do it again
Can NOT play this stand there and see if the ball magically rims off into your hands game. Come on
Boxing out increases your chances of a rebounding by a factor of 10
Offense way out of sinc defense is okay
2 on Wilson and Dick. Not good
When God makes KU basketball players. He should give all of them Udeh's motor
I'd just love to go to hole once against Udeh so I can see the result. Lol
Ungodly pass
Might have to rename the product Dick50 after tonite. Slick50 now a thing of the past
CS will play the ole Jaybate theory lead management game here. Not switch and starters playing as long as we don't have a lead more than 5 plus or are down. Bench comes in and we play the switch otherwise. Buckle up for a nail biter folks
Damn.
It.
Gradey 5. Frogs 0. Lol
Looks like CS elected to not switch to start. See how long we can do that. Missing baskets won't help
Bill looks tight. Not a good omen. Snap out of it!!! Lol
I don't think I'm ready to anoint him Goat yet. Definitely best active coach. But. And I say this with the hope that he will stay longer than many think he will. CS could imo do things over the next 10-15 seasons that are somewhat unfathomable outside of John woodens consecutive NC streak. I honestly think he has adapted to what the game needs so well, and to what the kids need so well that he could pull off another 4-5 NC's in that time span. Hope I'm right and if so there won't be anymore need for Goat discussions. Lol
I honestly believe the fellas are their own kryptonite. Mentally. It's all mental. I had a rec league team(yes I know there is no comparison) but hear me out. They would play sluggish, slow, and very uninspired unless I sent them out there to press, press ,press. Then they got energized and it mentally made everything they did just that much quicker and easier. This team. Defensive mentality sparks it all. Get out there and just heckle the hell out of the ball and it just intensifies everything they can do. Without it we look steps(yes plural) slow, uninspired, and frankly not very talented. They must take a defensive (they don't score, they don't get the rebound) mindset into the game. Then they look like and could very possibly be National Champions. Might be damn fun to watch. Stay tuned
CS knows we can't go 40 playing defense like that. And as usual he is correct. It won't happen. But.. if you watch closely you'll notice that we don't actually have to. Middle 10 of the first half and first or middle 10 of the second half will be enough. If... They can do it for 20 against a great team. And break it up somewhat like that. We're golden.
@kjayhawks to Remy. Raise a glass. Remy, we hardly knew ya! Lol
@Crimsonorblue22 all starts with D
55 pt half is great. It's the defense that won it. Nobody in the county can play with them when they have that defense
Defensive intensity. As that goes. This team goes. Simple
Probably need to somehow hold them to 30 second half to have a snowballs chance
I'll get beat by contested 3s too. But not those 3-4 with nobody within 10 ft. Of them. Our guys gotta remember other ppl can hit those even though apparently we can not
