Haha I agree... but he has a great motor. More than just his points out there. I do think he was put in a bad spot at the end of the auburn game. Fts today in a clutch moment we're huge!

Can we talk about how great Jackson is doing against big opponents?
Also auburn looking really good
Also auburn looking really good
I liked how we got Jackson involved down low tonight. I think he will be able to hold his own in the Big 12.
Hopefully he gets better as the year goes, and he will. He's got some muscle and should not be afraid to use it.
Auburn is going to be ranked 2nd or 3rd and we had them right there on a perfectly neutral court.
Didn’t see much of Anthony Grant tonight, which means he has more poise than Hurley. Pulling for them tomorrow, for both our benefit and to give Hurley the 0-3 outing.
And our bigs were 6 of 7. That’s huge after the last couple years
UConn not used to losing maybe they are not so confident now
I feel like we are about there. Talent is undeniable. 2 points:
1. We have our last defender doing too many double teams leaving the lane open. A lot of times that is unnecessary double spots, easy pass right by the rim for layup/dunk. Keep the doubles for the corners or up by midcourt. Doubles are for a corner or for a good post inside, we were doubling the elbow, etc.
2. Need to keep the ball moving more on O.

Why not five?
Three are locks.
Run into them in KC.
Colorado has a surprising year and sneaks into the NCAA tournament as a #11 seed.
Bumps into #2-seed Iowa State in the third round.
Could be 4 games this year, 5 if we somehow meet in the tournament.
If it gets that far, no way CU & ISU would be in the same bracket.
Dayton had both teams on the ropes and couldn’t close either one
On D, it seems like a lot of the problem tonight was that the bigs weren’t moving quick enough the ice the ball screens, and Dayton’s guards would get around far enough to pass or go to the hole. For all of Rob Jones’ faults, he was as good as it gets at staying in front of a guard off the ball screen or forcing the guard back far enough to allow the other defender to catch up.
