Kansas Game Thread...

[BludOrange]

Kansas has no size without Azubukie on the floor.
We should be trying to take advantage of that.

 

[Dave85]

22-7 the last 8 minutes of the first half. You can't win if your shots are not going down and the other teams is hitting 3s like crazy.

We can only hope the 2nd half "adjustments" work and our team starts making shots.

I would just play FH until he fouls out at this point. He we can get some offense going it's over.

 

[UelSU]

We are just not a great offensive team yet. Plus all the TOs, real or imagined, are killing us.

 

[JOC44]

A few of those moving picks happened because our guards went before the center had a chance to get planted.

 

[djcon57]

WE ARE WHO WE THOUGHT WE WERE

Right? Surprised by the reaction here. We knew the offense would be a problem vs better teams

 

[Dave85]

Hit shots and we are in this game. Simple as that

We need to drive more and try to get them into foul trouble.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

The charge rule is terrible. I think the semi circle has actually made it worse. Secondary defenders don't even have to look at the guy driving as long as their heels aren't on the stupid line.

 

[Day2]

Genos ass better be back on this team Monday, wake up!

That’s your takeaway?

 

[OrangeDW]

I think we all knew there would be nights like this, this season.

I’ll be happy if we can score 50 and lose by 15 or less.

 

[Deano]

Everyone needs to step back from the ledge. Before season started how many people thought we would seriously beat Kansas. Regroup and get ready for UConn.

 

[tptcuse]

We need to go back to the mid-range jumpers in the second half. Jacking up threes isn't doing anything.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Its going to be a struggle all year long, we just don't have enough players to beat top 25 teams.

Well we just beat Maryland and they are pretty good. I don’t know why you’re being such a Debbie downer. We aren’t UConn. No reason this team can’t go 12-1 in the non conference.

 

[doc05]

Pretty much what I expected.

 

[NateW]

Graham is really good.

Yeah, it’d be nice if someone put a hand in his face

 

[Orangefan1]

Thorpe screwed us even if it was the last resort no way he can come back now.

 

[kirbivore]

Need Battle healthy for storz. Shut him down

 

[longislandcuse]

Frank drives this team. Not Battle.., Frank. Without him, our offense is trash. Him being in foul trouble killed us that half.

Battle and Brissett are our scorers but we need Frank to initiate the offense.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Forget Kansas’s offense. It’s their defense that is killing us. We can’t get by anyone and we have no one posting up. We are just going east and west and if you drive, it will end up a charge. Their defense is terrific.

 

[Finwad32]

Young guys aren't quite ready. A little rattled, and starting to press too much.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

The game was over once Chukwu missed the dunk and the Kansas bank three

Basketball gods often notify you of who they chose to win the game with ONE of those events .. two in one half means the basketball gods really hate you

 

[SoBeCuse]

Hit shots and we are in this game. Simple as that

Eh, you have to move the ball better, screen better, cut more, drive by guys, etc. to beat a team like this. We don’t have the kind of one on one players needed this year

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Hit shots and we are in this game. Simple as that

I'm not confident battle will hit any threes today. Just off.

 

[OrangeDW]

We need to go back to the mid-range jumpers in the second half. Jacking up threes isn't doing anything.

Howard on the bench killed any chance at getting some offense going.

Thanks Geno.

 

[djcon57]

Why are people bringing up Thorpe???

Washington has been fine. What would Thorpe be doing?

 

[JOC44]

We went a long stretch with three of our five guys on the floor being Chukwu, Moyer and Washington. That doesn’t work on offense. And it’s only marginally better when you have Chukwu, Dolezaj and Washington out there.
