Must just be a college thing. I've been all over KS lately. Saw less masks there than I do in TX.

Where is the early season in your face D as well?

I'm assuming the injuries have something to do with it, but I have the same question. Nowhere near the same team that played Villanova.

We're gonna get run out from the looks of the first 5 min.

We are no where to be seen on rebounds and we don't even attempt to take it inside and settle for the 3 so far, 0-4 already.

Taking a timeout in the first 2.5 min of the game was very telling what Drew thinks is going on.

Brown is playing his arse off on both ends of the court.

Yeah he's looked better here overall than the last few weeks, hope it's a trend for him as he can do quite a bit.

We really struggle with teams good in transition and who have good cutting patterns. Our shooting can overcome some of those teams. Not looking good so far today.

I fully anticipated a loss today, but this is pathetic.

Akinjo is basically just a shell of his early part of the year self, and Bonner isn't ready for this quality of team.

I don't understand why Akinjo turns the ball over so often dribbling without contact

Only 4 of KUs 18 shots have been outside of he paint. They are bringing it in at will.

Well…time to take out the trash, replace air filters, blow off the porches, pick up the dog crap, and wash the car. It was fun while it lasted.

Getting out hustled, out worked, out shot, out rebounded…looks like we don't even want to be there.

Pebble Beach time. I'll check back at the half. Too frustrating.

Just not enough guard talent on the floor with current injuries. Bonner plays hard but doesn't have much scoring ability at this level yet. Teams putting the spy defense on Akinjo.

Beginning to look like a disaster. But it's still very early. Maybe Drew can come up with something to get back in this thing. Down by 16, though. Looks really bad.

Akinjo is a major problem. No #JOY in player. Already personally responsible for 3 turnovers, o-fers, and 6+ points for the other side. If you can't see that by now.....then there's nothing can help you.

I second your motion. Time for golf. This is an animal massacre here. Someone call PETA.

Oh man this is a joke right now. 3-12, 1-6, out assisted already by 5, out rebounded by 9. KU is taking them to the woodshed.

Think I'm gonna go catch a flick so I don't go crazy.

Why did I choose to look at the score, took a pause fro fishing. Wow adios top 10 come Monday. Defense just isn't good at all zero way to spin it

Obligatory scandal reference.

Outrebounded 15-6; 5-0 on off glass

Giving up transition buckets.

We did not come to play mentally - which has been getting us beat physically.

Going pretty much as I thought it would. Comeback would be the shock of the season.

Well, there could be some people out there who missed it the first 10 million times it has been referenced since it happened 18+ years ago.

Wasn't a good chunk of our fans throwing a hissy fit when Bears said the B12 runs through Lawrence ?
Louise Romano

This is why I am going with Kentucky to win it all. They blew out KU last week in this gym and when connected they are the best team.

Yes, we are playing poorly, but that is something you can fix. However, after 15min we are clearly OUTMATCHED by simply a better team!

They toss hissies every time anyone is critical. Pollyannas are irrationally useless.

Akinjo can't Throw it in the ocean from the beach so far today.

Baylor is still in this game

Never mind. Not yet.

They have to find a way to stop Braun.
