And I don't think a play like that just happens. WV's style of play, Huggieball, where they are constantly aggressive and going over the line when it comes to defense and fouling, plus Huggins and his players whining, set a tone, in that game and many others, against WV. It didn't help that the refs often don't call the fouls they should in Morgantown, against the home team.
I think we've traded some open perimeter looks for completely walling off the paint. We were pretty good (top 20) in limiting paint points last year, but we've been #1 all year this year.
I'm not sure if that is intentional or a by-product of the personnel, but it is a difference
After watching the replay, I may be ready to start calling him the next Ejim. Really tough player. Doesn't back down from any one. I'll take a Rahshon Clark/Melvinator hybrid if you don't mind TJ.
lol, excellent.Using all those numbers I'm not sure that you realize that we aren't all nerdy engineers. Some of us are other kinds of nerds.
Putting it in other words - we give up more three pointers this year than last year, but last year if we gave up a bunch of threes we absolutely lost, this year it doesn't really affect if we win or lose.
im getting pretty tired of the dickie v farewell tour. he seems to just jump from blue blood to blue blood this season because 'he wants to call one more KU game'.
just retire already.
the adjustment from offenses in this league to the no middle D is a big key. they know how to get open looks after a season plus of half the teams in this league playing a variation of this D.
It would have been appropriate if he would have retired with Coach K. I guess retiring with Boeheim is appropriate too. I actually don't mind Vitale but his infatuation with those two has always been odd.
Almost by definition, any segment involving Kansas basketball should be inconsequential in subject matter, brief in duration, flaccid in nature and unsatisfying as an experience.
Not only am I getting tired of it it’s ******* sad. Don’t sad up my games ESPN.
Great, so that's why my wife is convinced I'm from Kansas. Mystery finally solved.
So, game thoughts? Like most of us, I have probably seen KU play second most behind ISU. My two thoughts:
(1) Game will likely be decided by GDick/Harris. Wilson will get his, no stopping him. But when GDick/Harris play great, KU rolls like they did yesterday v WVU. But I have also seen several KU games that GDick really struggles, both with his shot and turnovers. We need to force that version of GDick.
(2) I am a little concerned about pace. I don't think another game in the 70's will bode well for us. Would like to see a nice 68-63 win.
LFG!!!

Only 4 more hours to kill. In case there are any brick walls around that need running through, perhaps this might help pass the time:
I looked up the espn broadcast schedules and thought that had to be a typo. Guess it's John and Eric tonight.
I like KU over WV for a favorable matchup but we'll see if KU gets the court tilted and what happens if they cover up the passing lanes better than BU did.
