When I saw Frank go flying into the Fritchen only to reemerge as the Man of Steal, I knew the game was over.

Of course the shooting was pretty bad, too.They ran that post iso for him and then went away from it, however i think KU's ball pressure contributed to that a bit. As for Dean and Maurice together, I have no idea how that would work. First of all it seems pretty obvious that we either don't work on double post sets or they don't work when they do run them in practice. I think he has the skill set to eventually get there but I don't think Maurice is strong enough in the areas you need to utilize a double post; face-up at the elbow, interior screen and seal, and post-to-post passing. The set they called for Wade when he scored looked like a double post set, it was a bit sloppy but it eventually finished in a wade basket.weber isn't going to clog up the middle. he loves that open interior, and generally it works quite well.

I was most disappointed in that we couldn't foul out Jackson. He comes in with 4 fouls at 4:38 remaining and we don't iso him vs Westicles/wade the rest of the game. Should have gone after him hard. Same thing with Lucas when he came back in just under 2 min remaining with 4 fouls. I don't think Oscar's half court offense is any where near advertised when he came here. Only time we have any offense is when we are in transition.
Considering the shooting stats, defensive stats, etc... its absolutely ridiculous that we have this many losses considering the overall SOS. Embarrassing.
how about @ tech, ever heard of that one, stan? how about @ tennessee?

Tennessee has an RPI in the top 40, beat Kentucky on the road and is on a roll right now so that one isn't horrible either. What else you got #BIDclams?
hey we lost to a couple of almost bubble teams, not too shabby!!
