Whatever dad said Tres listened!!!
Looks like a different player... just playing.
Love looking bad in this instance. Of course he was looking bad, just looks so much better.... except his drives lol.
Long way to go. Making 7 threes in a half won't happen often but great D also.

Tres learned that he can shoot from the outside instead of driving the ball and double pumping for nothing.

Why no Bruce you think? He can handle the rock, plays decent D.

No Bruce because those guards from Kansas would have eaten him for dinner. Our best players struggled to get the ball up in pressure.

I'll disagree... he is at least equal in the handle department over MD and LMW. Where better to get he frosh some minutes against good competition... whole point of playing these games. |

I questioned the no Bruce thing as well while watching the game. I think he brings it up better against pressure than anyone we have.... but he draws more pressure than anyone else we have it seems, probably teams trying to attack the new kid to try to capitalize off errors. In general I have noticed the team has some issues with inbound play pressure, it really showed this game... used up all of our time outs in just 4 minutes when Kansas put on the pressure, had a couple of turnovers as well. They need to work on that. |

I too was wondering about the "Bruce"...... My advice is let's not speculate too much. Maybe he had some bad chicken and wasn't 100%.... I personally think it was more due to his defense not being ready but then again I was surprised at how much zone we played.
Anyone else feel like it was too much zone in the 2nd half? Not being a hater.... just 20/20 hindsight.

Not being a hater.... just 20/20 hindsight. Agree... we are not yet a good zone team. We do not incorporate m2m D skills and stand around way too much. The "windows" are wide open to penetrate and leaves us out of position to rebound also. I'm hoping we see some massive improvement on the defensive boards. We are giving up way too many 2nd/3rd/sometimes 4th chances. To me it seems our perimeter guys are leaking out or not crashing to board first. The problem with not just freshman, but incorporating new faces, we just don't play well together and it shows on both ends of the court. We seem to have to do a lot of "thinking" about what to do/where to be. That part will get better, but more concerned we are not very physical. |

I have to assume WT was playing who he believed gave us the best chance to win. Given how much we were struggling to generate offense, it made sense to me that Malcolm needed to be in there. If Thompson wasn't finding a way to score, I'm not seeing how Bruce was going to help.
I recall only 1 of the timeouts being due to an inbounding issue, and all the others trying to stop KU's momentum. I also don't recall our TO's during that time being ball-handling issues in the backcourt. There was some issues on inbounding (not seeing the lurking defender) and our bigs over-dribbling in the lane or bringing the ball down low.
Just me, but at no point was I thinking "if Bruce was in there that wouldn't have happened".

True... but, unless he was sick he handles better then MD and LMW and at least could have gotten the ball out of GPII's hands some. Bringing it down under pressure is taxing and then once he gave it up he had a tough time getting it back. Not saying we have less to's (although watching I though MD had way more than 2?!), but Bruce can play a little on D, has some handle... and mostly could have used the exposure. |

Just me, but at no point was I thinking "if Bruce was in there that wouldn't have happened". GPII's dunk. I haven't seen that sort of thing from PJ yet. |

To clarify, I was meaning during KU's run where we were taking quick shots and missing or committing TO's, I wasn't thinking inserting Bruce would make a difference based on how/what type of bad things were happening. There's never been a time when I wanted GP II on the bench  |

There's never been a time when I wanted GP II on the bench I was wondering where the GP comment came from??? Was kinda out there random... pretty sure we'd all agree long stretches with GPII on the bench is never a good thing. I was very happy to see him get up after the foul and awkward landing in the 2nd half. |

We had a 5 second violation, a bench called timeout, a timeout called by Reid, and at least one turnover all in short succession on inbounds plays. We were without timeouts with something like 14-16 minutes left in the game. Thank goodness for injury and tv timeouts. Got some work to do on beating the press. |
