Official KU vs Creighton Gamethread

[LosCondorAzule]

Great Game.. final minute, I don’t know what to call that other than a WIN... woohoo!

[twocoach]

Can't wait to watch this team play really well.

Yep. You can see the potential in the parts. Garrett, Agbaji and McCormack can still play a lot better and the young guys are a long ways from their ceiling.

[sdoyel]

McCormack is 14-44 from 2 this year 31.8%

Wilson is 23-41 at the line this year 56.1%

Braun is 12-26 from 3pt this year 46.2%

Garrett is 14-37 from 2 this year 37.8%

I still think it's Ochai or Garrett in the end but....is Wilson our best player ?

I think without question. And that's good news, especially for Garrett. Takes the weight off his shoulders a bit.

DMac still seems too soft at times, though. Let the nuts hang out, brother!

[twocoach]

I guess what I mean by that is do we think he'll be our best player by season end/all season generally?
I don't think so.
But he's WAY better than I thought.

Agreed but I wouldn't mind if Wilson proves us wrong. Not sure if these numbers hold up in conference play when we start banging with the big bodies but Wilson has been a huge bonus so far.

[Sparko]

Wilson is the only player with the confidence to close games out. I see some of it in Thompson. Braun missing that front end really pissed me off. Och and Garrett were waiting to be blocked all game.

[AlOerter]

If you told me Ochai wouldn't score I'd say we lost.

[NewtonHawk11]

Outside of Zags, defense has been really solid.

Has it though? Teams continue to shoot the ball well against us.

4 out of 6 teams have shot in the 30s percentage wise. The outliers have been Creighton and Gonzaga. I’d say that’s pretty good.

[AlOerter]

Thompson was fearless late.

[Sparko]

I like Thompson a lot. I like Turgeon's confidence. Dreiling has meh footwork. Boagni has shown some flashes as a Freshman. But I get an Enaruna feel there. . .

[CrimsonNBlue]

McCormack is 14-44 from 2 this year 31.8%

This is outrageous.

We can't afford that. We'd be better off those 44 shots being from 3.

[twocoach]

Self now 15-2 at AFH vs. Top 10 opponents.

We are spoiled.

I still think it's Ochai or Garrett in the end but....is Wilson our best player ?

Yes.

Yes. Offensively no question. He can be an elite offensive weapon. outside of him we have several jacks of all trades/masters of none. weird collection of pieces this year but if bill can get them to fit together we could have a really fun team

[Sparko]

Time to let the many pieces play together more frequently. Kansas lucky that the 4 on 5 produced a win.
