Big Monday: Kansas @ WVU

[lurkeraspect84]

I understand Vanderbilts hesitation. He doesn't want to ruin the perception of his potential. I'm probably wrong. He could potentially proof me wrong.I predict people around his person presumes his potential is presumably higher than him pucking up in practice. Maybe he prefers the path of least resistance and fades to past tense.

KU was charmin soft in that first half. Gonna lose by 25 if they keep it up.

 

[doogie503]

KU getting some open shots but they're rushed shots.

 

[Turinturumbar]

You all know that KU run is coming.

No. The refs seem determined to keep Dok out of the game.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Only 17 with 17 mins to go.

 

[Turinturumbar]

BTW, why are WVU fans booing Graham?

 

[ravenman10]

Non shooting?

 

[RockChalkRally]

Hopefully Carter gets a shot too.

I still love the NBA, but it'd be nice to have some players to follow in the league.

Carter is one hell of a tough-nosed PG. I think Carter is good enough to make it happen as well.

 

[RockChalkRally]

Finally a smart play in transition by Svi

 

[RockChalkRally]

That hard hedge by WVU along the perimeter is making it hard for KU to get a good open look in the half-court set.

 

[IUfanBorden]

No. The refs seem determined to keep Dok out of the game.

How is that?

 

[Turinturumbar]

Finally a smart play in transition by Svi

Bout time. Maybe the other guys can take a cue.

 

[RockChalkRally]

Once again, KU's defense has not been that bad tonight. They have to find ways to chip away. Start by cutting the lead to 10 or possibly 9.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Non shooting?

Foul was on Carter. And on the floor.

 

[RockChalkRally]

Bout time. Maybe the other guys can take a cue.

Let's hope so. Unfortunately this KU team is not that smart. But you gotta start somewhere.

 

[Turinturumbar]

How is that?

Because he’s spent half the game on the bench and we finally get him back and he gets a cheap foul where it appeared the WVU guy was over his back. I’m not saying that any of them weren’t necessarily fouls. Just frustrating in a game where there is so much contact that they aren’t calling, but they always seem to catch him... and he’s our most important player. This game fell apart when he left the game.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

weak call.

 

[RockChalkRally]

It looks like the officials have tightened the game up on both teams.

 

[doogie503]

Here's that KU run

 

[doogie503]

We need to get the ball to Esa. No way 0 should be able to guard him.

 

[toonces11]

Another weak foul on dok

 

[RockChalkRally]

It's under 10 but I don't think they'll cut the lead much more.

 

[TechRaiderRider]

refs have spoken -

 

[Turinturumbar]

And game over

 

[RockChalkRally]

Our half court offense sucks. It's nothing but dribbling and jacking up horrible shots.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Down 9 @ now. Bettter than 17 at 17

I, too enjoyed a mighty fine pregame, even moreso than the usual for this team season.

To be fair our half court D is way better than it has been in years past. Not all about the press anymore.

KU has played really well on D too.

 

[Mgkcbb]

I love Huggs!!!

"There ain't no question. You know it to".

Huggins when asked who wears the pullover better. He or Self.

Classic Huggins, man.

Never met a person I like who dislikes Huggy Bear.

 

[ravenman10]

Kansas is fighting. They got punched in the mouth early and not having Dok has killed us. With that said, somehow they are still within striking distance. Color me surprised. I thought they would wilt down 17

Ugly game. WVU's offense making KU defense look better than it is. WVU has had a good number of open looks just not fall.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

since the 17 min mark KU has been making up ground.

 

[RockChalkRally]

Yeah I agree. I think WVU's half court defense has been more effective than their press. To be honest, your press has been good but it hasn't accounted for a majority of KU's miscues. Our defense tonight has been much better than most of our games of late. That being said, KU can't afford to go on 4 or 3 minute scoreless droughts especially with how their D has stepped up.

 

[Turinturumbar]

Anybody that doesn’t think getting Preston and De Sousa ready to go will affect this team they should see the difference between KU with and without Dok. Competent post play opens up everything else.

I will give KU this much....they have forced WVU to take quite a few tough shots late in the shot clock. Not something I expected to see tonight so I'll take that for what it's worth.

Agree. So he shouldn't have thrown the WVU dude to the floor, resulting in his second foul.

We're going to need DeSousa at this point. He's not going to make a huge impact right way but he's going to help give Dok and Lightfoot a bit of a longer breather on the bench. He's a body right now and I'll take that for the moment.

 

[Turinturumbar]

How is that a foul in Graham?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

KU is closing the distance. Can they close?

 

[RockChalkRally]

Agree. So he shouldn't have thrown the WVU dude to the floor, resulting in his second foul.

Yep that was a frustration foul but its a foul you can't have in a game like this.
