It's a big six though

Still 6 though.

With such a limit on ability that's not terrible.

 

[twincyties]

Another stretch where we just go ice cold.

 

[enisthemenace]

Running the offense through Jones is not a recipe for success.

We seem to run out offense through the big (ie Conditt, Jones, Kunc) a lot. Our posts have the ball in their hands WAY too much.

 

[cyclonehomer]

I get that losing 3 guys right before the season hurts, but I'm yet to see anything that suggests taking Jones' commitment that early in the transfer season wasn't a big mistake. Surely there was someone else out there that would have killed for high major minutes with more basketball skills.

 

[Clonehomer]

It was a foul

I thought it was just OOB. They didn't reset the shot clock going into the break.

 

[madguy30]

Eh, we we just were never a top 10 team. We're a good defensive team with a limited roster in the middle of a brutal stretch of the schedule.

It's weird that folks aren't seeing this.

They are shutting Brockington down, or, he is just not having one of his games. Rare for him.

I don't mind if they have the ball on the block sometimes, but we don't do that

 

[67CY]

The offense seems better when Jazz is in the game

 

[NENick]

Next test: can they hold on in this environment, keep it close and make a run of their own

 

[jctisu]

Ugh can't even finish that.

 

[IASTATE07]

Sometimes it pays off just to lay it in.

Eh, meh. He's fine for we need him for.

 

[mynameisjonas]

sometimes we play with such a low basketball IQ

 

[twincyties]

That’s 6 easy points off inbounds we’ve left on the table. 4 for IB and 2 from Grill.

Its not going to get much easier. Going to be real tough to get enough conference wins to make the dance.

 

[Inthesystem]

Inadvertent

 

[werdnamanhill]

Ouch

 

[xboxfever]

It wasn’t even close to a flagrant but I won’t be surprised if they call it because it’s KU.

Twice he’s tried to dunk instead of lay it in and missed. Hope those 4 points don’t make the difference
