The Kansas GAME THREAD

[Jload]

No defense, no clue how to attack zone, careless turnovers and horrible free throw shooting is an L every time.

[Ratt]

Disappointing coaching and playing effort.

I think effort is usually ok with this team. It's poor ball movement. Not protecting the ball - sloppy passes. Lot's a standing around on offense which is typical of Cal's half-court offense. Can't play man to man defense - constant switching and getting beat. Needs to learn to play zone with this group. This team misses Marcus Lee. Never thought I would say that but it's a simple fact. He's another big man that would block shots and would keep Humphreys and Willis off the court more. Tonight - Willis played pretty well but had a few defensive breakdowns as usual.

Depending on match ups - I think they'll only go to maybe 2nd or 3rd round tops in the tournament.

Sloppy sloppy sloppy. An entire game of missed opportunities.

2 bad losses in a week...but start figuring it out Cal.....Georgia will be no calk walk on Tuesday night

I am very disappointed that this team does not know how to attack a zone defense. Why is Briscoe in the middle? Put Monk or Willis there. I know someone posted earlier this team just does not want to play defense.

[Ratt]

I'd say Fox, Monk, Bam and Briscoe will all be gone after this season.

Briscoe can leave. I've had about enough of him. He's been terrible. He won't even play in the D league.

I guess no one wants to talk about the rest of this season? Just draft status?

UGA is in the gym right now practicing a zone. For us, how can we practice how to attack a zone when we don't know how to play one?

[TrueblueCATfan]

Let's play the make excuses game.

Which one comes off the tongue first?

WE ARE YOUNG!!!!

I'd say Fox, Monk, Bam and Briscoe will all be gone after this season.

I can't see Briscoe being drafted. I don't see an upside due to his size and he can't shoot the ball.Yes he grabs rebounds but does not offer much else. He will probably try to go but I would bet he doesn't get much interest.

[George]

Anyone else hate the way we're passing right now? Those hook shot over-the-head split decision rockets? You know, the ones that lead to turnovers 50% of the time?

Yeah. Me too.

My first time on here this season. I hope everyone has been doing good.

We lost this game because we panicked, which comes with lack of experience. Fox is clearly not back to being %100 yet. All year long he's been getting by whoever has been guarding him, but tonight he just couldn't. It made the zone that much more effective. Briscoe has been struggling, and Bam needs a lot of improvement.

Cal better teach them how to play in the half court or we'll get eliminated early come march.

I don't know how this team has been defensively by the numbers, but up to now it hasn't looked good at all.

Isn't that what we do at U.K. These days, concentrate on the NBA

[Katmendo]

WE ARE YOUNG!!!!

Alright, we have Trueblue for the "we are young."

I'm going to go a different route and go with, "We haven't learned to value the ball."


Who's got next?

That's the culture.
