I was actually encouraged. I thought it'd be more like 84-60 to be honest. I just don't think we have the needed perimeter shooting to open things up enough for our slashers when we're going up against a team that can really get after you on the perimeter. Kansas was great on perimeter defense and help-side rotations on players driving the basketball.

Frank should have easily had another double double. There were at least 4 plays where he set up teammates for what should have been routine finishes, but weren't.

I love how hard this team plays and how they're willing to bang on the interior, but Kansas had a noticeable strength advantage at several positions on the floor and guys like Dolezaj, Sidibe, and Chuckwu had trouble finishing on plays they made against the earlier opponents on the schedule.

One thing I will say about the rebounding is that Chuckwu actually boxes out better than most of the centers we've had in a long time (positioning sometimes makes up for lack of strength), Marek just understands how to 'go get it', and Brissett has a great combination of vertical quickness, positioning, and technique.
