Tre King needs to come to the ball when Lipsey is getting pressured

That's more on Lipsey.

His dribble is stopped. While I agree that King should have flashed out (quickly) once that happened, Lipsey can't slowly go to make that pass at the point King doesn't flash. It was telegraphed and labored, and easily picked off.

This, his outside shooting, and stupid fouls are probably the things he needs to work on the most. The shooting won't happen this year but it would be nice to see the passing and foul issues show some improvement. The last foul he picked up was so dumb. Can't have guys consistently riding pine because they pick up two boneheaded fouls every game.

TJ prefers to almost always play a traditional 5 man. TJ also rotates guys a lot to keep the effort on the court fresh. So Rob comes in 2-3 time per half instead of more traditional rotations which might only see the backup center 2-3 per game. This is why it seems like he is always subbing in.

It's like guys get tired from maxing out especially against opponents that are regularly full of dudes.

Testifying
Is there a particular reason why we have 10,500 in attendance tonight. Weather not until much later and we have a top 25 matchup. Extremely disappointing.
I know quite a few people that chose State wrestling over the game.

It’s almost like he’s a true freshman starting at PG in the big 12.

Solid finish to the half. Kunc is coming up large on the 3's.

He's made just about every one where he didn't rush his stroke.

I'm both surprised and thrilled with how quickly he's reassimilated himself, especially on his shot. When Grill and Gabe struggle we don't have outside shooters. We also have difficulties getting shots off against longer, more athletic teams like Oklahoma State. Kunc gives us a threat that can shoot over the taller perimeter defenders, ala Gradey ****.
