Kansas can hit the floater at free will since our guards don’t play defense past the perimeter and forwards just stand there whenever the guards start driving into the lane.
D is not problem today.. if you hit 28% of your 3's it's like a 5 point game

I just can’t comprehend what does TJ see in Heise. If I went and clipped up every time he sprints past a guy on the three point line this year I could probably put together about 5 minutes of film. Dude just does not close out under control ever
Heise to TJ is what Sama is to Campbell. I don’t understand the amount of playing time. But we don’t coach so out of our control

If we were shooting reasonably from 3 we're in the game. But this game feels so much worse than that. We are not sharing the ball well at all. It's not even just the over dribbling, I've watched multiple times where guys have turned down the extra pass that they were making earlier in the year.

The total lack of any movement offensively is really worrisome

We can't make a layup now. We've let this all get into our heads. Officials ******* us over, Kansas just plainly outcoached and outplayed us.
We have 3 big guys. Why don’t we pound it inside at Dickinson?

regardless of your stance on the analytics of 'foul or defend' ... the absolute gut punch of the universe dealing you a highly unlikely loss and it ruining the trajectory of your season vs. losing because your coach decided to foul and the opposing team tipped out a FT to tie or win should also figure into the calculus. not all losses are equal.

I agree. They don’t seem to have any confidence in each other. I get they’re not shooting well but they’re making it more difficult trying to fix it with hero ball

Oh, Milan absolutely will force teams to play the 3-point line more, but we have to get more than just him and CuJo to be a threat. Tamin and/or Keshon has to shoot well and with some volume. I appreciate that Tamin is at least putting the effort in.
CuJo & Milan compliment each other very well outside. Gets a lot harder to guard both sides of the 3pt line vs them.

But you're 100% right. We need Maui Keshon effort back
