The countdown is on until people start making one-off threads on the main board.

What a disastrous effort to start this one. Just leave at halftime. We're about to get our ass kicked.
Correction - we are getting our ass kicked.

We'll settle down and get back in it..they've had their little run.

Were lucky it's not more than 12.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with officiating. We're getting dominated.

Think we can keep it under 20?

with Dickinson making righty hooks and Adams making off the dribble jumpers, we have no chance at getting stops. And their defense has been swarming. this one might already be over.

There has been nothing on the offensive end that would indicate a Baylor run is imminent. We can't even get shots off on that end.

We're flat out manned.

It was over the moment we went down 10. Will be lucky if it doesn't end up being a 25 point beat down. Which is pathetic considering they're down their best guard by far

I quoted the wrong post. It was about WWE on our end and touch fouls on theirs.

I did after 3 separate BU possessions that ended with our players in the floor with no call and touch fouls to end the KU possession.'now our players will be playing soft touch defense to avoid the calls while they get wrestled to the ground with no call when on offense. With the spread as it is now, the calls should start evening out.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

We'll start making some shots. We just need to get stops.

We've taken one team into Lawrence that wasn't straight up scared shirtless. That team destroyed them (granted that team was generational) but it sure would be nice to be competitive once in a blue moon. They just absolutely kick our asses in Lawrence.

Always come out flat. Terrible start per usual. The staff needs to add an effective motivator and a defensive specialist badly

Better offense the last few possessions. That's promising.

Would like for us to show confidence and strength. Can't play Kansas scared. They take advantage of our timidity.

We're in good shape if Dickinson keeps chucking 3's but EJ needs to stop chucking them too

I think Iowa Bear is rubbing off on you

True, but you don't pull good offense out of your ass when you can't even get shots off.

We're not doing the things necessary to score consistently against quality, engaged defense.

Major moving screens at the point by *****inson. He will do it as long as he gets away with it. Which will be all game.

If you are shooting those 3s you better be shooting an a 75% clip. 'Cause once it is launched we're nowhere near the rebound.

True.but Kansas especially Adams are really engaged defensively.

They'll come down to Earth. Let's keep racking up fouls on them until we can get our shot going and then we can expose that weak bench

Kinda like a pitcher throwing a shut out .lets take a lot of pitches to get his pitch count up and get to the weak bullpen.

We're really lucky to only be down 10. This has been a pathetic effort.

Thanks, Kansas. They're doing their best to keep us in this game.
