When you've been gameplanning to beat ku for the last 2 to 3 weeks with most of that gameplan centered around Griffin what do you expect to happen when he goes down? I have no doubt letting ku run out to that 11-2 lead was part of that plan to get them overconfident. Capel was almost certainly about to unleash Griffin, again as they had gameplanned for weeks, and then he goes down. What is a coach to do in that situation? All is pretty much lost.
You would think that high BBIQ fanbase that has watched teams spend weeks and weeks gameplanning for the juggernaut that is ku hoops for years and years would know this by now. Sad really.
