Official Game thread: KU vs Wofford

[twocoach]

Anyone else (my age or older) think that Mike Young looks like Bill Gannon?

I dont know who either of those people are.

Isnt that Jack Webb and Harry Morgan from Dragnet?

[jhawks99]

Yes, I think the Wofford coach looks like Harry Morgan in Dragnet.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Self said there is significant scarring. Which indicates radiology has been performed.

Can we talk about it yet, Gutter?

[sdoyel]

Garrett will start at the 4 according to Self.

Colonel Potter.

Hmmm. Not the option i expected

[Geezer]

Jeebus we need Silvio,

[columbusdjkc]

I think our defense is the best with Garret at the 4. Seems like we went on the run when Garret checked in at the second half.

[TDub]

Against wofford. Thats the caveat.

True. Also probably different against two real bigs, but maybe Mccormack gets more time in those situations.

More likely it'll be KJ or Mitch than McCormack. He and Dedric together doesn't seem like it'd work very well defensively. Would have a hard time dealing with ball screens with both of Dedric and DMac in. Self has spoken about why it doesn't work well. Dedric needs space, DMac does the opposite of provide more space.

I think DMac is better than mitch and KJ individually, but it's the sum of the parts that matters.

[twocoach]

It will be a game by game adjustment based on matchups. Garrett played fantastic defense on their best big last night and only had one or two "WTF are you doing" moments on offense so overall a great game. Can he do the same against Nova? Dunno, I guess we'll find out. I bet he guards a big on the perimeter better than Dok did.

I wish Garrett would STOP shooting 3s. No matter how wide open he is. It's possible, at times, he's that wide open because the other team is playing to the scouting report.

and this is something that Dotson does well, understand his own limitations and strengths

stay in your fucking lane

Yup.

He's a 25% 3pt shooter. That's awful. Move the ball. Create for others. Play defense. Rebound. That's it.

i don't even mind him driving when it's there, but jumpers are probably the weakest part of his game

[pdub]

He has a decent drive to the basket.
His jumper is a thing of nightmares.

[PhDhawk]

No reason for him to cross half court. We could REALLY spread the court that way.

[DCHawk1]

Bringing back Iowa women's basketball, one player at a time.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Of course shooting should never be option 1 for Garrett (and to a way lesser extent Dotson).

But the idea of never shooting is bad. You can’t have him completely scared to take the shot ever. He has to shoot and learn to knock down an open set shot. A Garrett 3 is going to be our best shot in like 1-2 possessions per game, particularly after the ball is passed 3-4x.
