Kansas Crimson

What a game. That was fun.

We win.

Holy Moly.

Much better effort than the last game.

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

Crowd made a huge difference. Especially with fans from both sides loud.

Overcome McCormack and 2 frosh mistakes late to hold on.

We shot 39% and allowed 48%. Still won.

11-17 at the line. Have to improve there.

Wow (said in the voice of Dave Armstrong)

Whew.
Wilson savior and almost scapegoat.

Agreed. Crowd definitely affected energy level.

I don’t understand Self’s stubbornness.

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

Yes.

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.

I mean he’s been averaging almost a double double. 15/9 per game. That’s incredible considering there’s been 2 games to where he only played 20 minutes.

Per KenPom our offense is 26 and defense is 5. Seems odd to me.

Outside of Zags, defense has been really solid.

Kenpom is wonky to start the season.
And this season is quite wonky to begin with.
I'd guess some of our lower scoring games v NDSU and Kentucky are draining our offensive efficiency - but Creighton's adjO was pretty high coming in, and we held them in check pretty well.

I would bet our offense gets better, mid teens, and our defense drops a touch, but still in the top 10.

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