@jayballer73 We need to reset our expectations. That's how we enjoy the rest of the season.

Agbaji is our leading scorer with 9, which is 3 times more than the next highest (Grimes and Dotson have 3 each). That's less cool.
Hey, we pulled even on rebounds, 16 each. That's cool. Garret has 5.
Man Texas sucks. We're only down by 1
@kjayhawks We don't have one. That's the problem.
Time for another beer.
We had 3 shot clock violations
Announcer is saying Abaji. Is the g silent?
Dave has some energy
Lawson has 2 steals and a block, but no shot attempts?
@Hawk8086 And he's hilarious, my favorite character on that show.
Starting Agbaji the second half, if Grimes doesn't produce in the first half, could be a good compromise strategy. Like last game.
@mayjay Tyshawn made my heart melt a couple of times. He was adorable.
Wow
Shut up, Fran
MG!
@truehawk93 Lard fouled out
@approxinfinity Go back!
Winning the boards now, 33-30
KJ #3. In 6 minutes.
Love watching Dotson box out those big guys. They fall all over him.
@DanR Energy.
You know, we're playing like crap and only down 4 with >11 minutes left. It's Allen Field House. Plenty of time to turn it around.

4 fouls

Gosh where would this game be without Lawson
Down 22
Mitch takes charges. But doesn't play much.
Positives: we are doing better in Turnovers (6-9), Fouls (4-7), Steals (5-4), Freethrow% (100-50)
@DCHawker Great point. The opposing team has way more points tonight than Saturday.
I didn't feel that bad at half Saturday, actually. Our offense sucked, but our defense is good. Tonight, well, I'll just stop there.

We just aren't mentally focused. I think this team has assumed Vick's right-now identity.
That's leadership...
@Texas-Hawk-10 Panic. Or clueless.
James Naismith was Canadian, Fran.
But only 1 turnover so far!

What is really missing right now is leadership. Someone needs to stand up and say, "this is MY team!" and then go prove it. I haven't seen a true alpha dog on this squad yet. My hope is for Devon.
You're absolutely right, but that's a lot to ask of a freshman. Next year, he'll be that guy, no doubt.
@mayjay This article pretty much blames Vick for the fiasco of the last 30 seconds.

Coach Self subtly suggested the same thing in the post game, when he blamed himself for not calling a time out.
My interpretation of Self's comments: I should have known my senior guard is clueless and wouldn't know the obvious strategy in that situation, so I should have called a timeout to explain it to him, even though the defense would have time to set up.
Vick can be great, but he is not The Man.
@Crimsonorblue22 Pretty important coin toss.
@Crimsonorblue22 But they are developing! The last 2 games have been encouraging.
@Crimsonorblue22 That's what I said during the game! The dude just fell on Grimes. Bogus.
Dedric was getting pushed around by Culver under the rim all day.

And now we are sitting Ochai and stunting his growth and killing confidence.
Ochai today wasn't playing like we've seen previously. 3 turnovers in 4 minutes, missed his only shot under the basket, his first miss at the rim in the games he's played. Sitting him the 2nd half wasn't a horrible idea. He'll bounce back.
Kcmatt7 said:
What an embarrassing loss. That makes 3
This one is different. We should have won that game.
Guts and IQ. Good description of Garret.
kjayhawks said:
Correction this game on Self for KJ extended minutes, seems like hes been out there for 20 minutes.
16
He just fell down, and Grimes was nearby
I guess the forearm is part of the ball.
@DCHawker 13 turnovers, poor shooting.
Self didn't sound too upset. We're playing good D and rebounding. He likes that.
Offense is fools gold...
Hawk8086 said:
We should be up by 10-12, but the turnovers and bad execution have killed us. Who can improve on their performance in the 2nd half?
Dotson. 0 points, 0 assists, 4 turnovers.
Neither team has made a 3, neither team has missed a FT. Weird.
At least we're ahead on boards, 18-10. Big Dave had 4 rebounds in 5 minutes.

@BeddieKU23 Dot has passed up at least two open threes and set up Grimes clankers
And he has 4 turnovers. Not his day.
