Kansas Game Thread...

Maryland had just lost to St Bonaventure and was turning the ball over 25% of the time. Not a "pretty good team.
Perspective.

We beat a top half of the B1G team that shot 50% from three. It was a good win

Washington isn't ready for a game at this level. But he has potential.

2nd half - Brissett and Battle NEED TO DRIVE. All these threes are killing me

 

[Alsacs]

I am watching Providence-Rhode Island and I laugh at our offense.
They spread the floor.
Space for shooting and give the guards ability to make plays.
The bigs don’t clog driving lanes.

It’s amazing.
JB is a genius for defense but our offense is so basic.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Ucant wins by 3 in ot

Love Moyer as a kid with a great attitude. But his slow foot speed gets exposed in games against these elite athletic teams. Very limited.

He should look into Quin Snyder's "advantage" offense.

Can't beat quality teams without legit lead guard play. As well as FH has performed so far this season, he had a horrible first half, hopefully, it's just that and not signs of things to come when he faces stiffer guard competition as he has today. Bringing the ball over the time line and just dribbling in place well above the key is not good. He hasn't been able to take his defender off the dribble and drive, and until he does, Kansas will shut down our stagnant offense.

Other guys need to get open. Kansas is face guarding really tightly.

 

[Cusefan0307]

The good news is we are dominating on the glass so that isn’t a fluke. We are a good rebounding team this year.

 

[CorduroyG]

By the way I'll take Washington all day every day over Thorpe. Geno was not an acc caliber player, Washington is gonna be good, really like his handle and confidence.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

The Bonnie’s are good. Better than UConn.

I don't know what's that means these days!
Uconn, at home, went to the wire against 3-4 Monmouth...

He was doing what Kansas wanted him to do. At one point they shut off everyone when Howard had it, daring him to beat them. Teams are gonna take their chances with Howard.

Agreed. Probably our toughest OOC team left, though having it at home helps

 

[Alsacs]

Our bigs need to stop picking.
They can’t roll and the D never respects it.

 

[longislandcuse]

JB needs to do better on offense. We have zero motion and 3 guys standing around the paint all the time.

 

[Madbiker]

This is going to get real ugly. We just don't have enough weapons to play a team like this.

 

[skurey]

Well Georgia is winning so that's cool

 

[JeremyCuse]

Brutal

 

[longislandcuse]

Andddd I think I'll watch Auburn/Georgia

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Brissett got fouled on that but he needs to be smarter.

 

[NateW]

Time to start drinking more heavily

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Looks to me like nobody on the team is . This is embarrassing

 

[SoBeCuse]

I disagree. Battle and OB are great one on one players. They can't go to 2 on 5 though with Frank in foul trouble, especially when Battle is playing terribly.

Meh. Oshae has some opportunities as some of us predicted. But when they cut off Battle and Frank/Howard on their own or with help somebody has to get open.

 

[chugg21]

Pretty ecstatic about the decision not to drive 4 hours to this mess

Learn and grow.
