We'll sleepwalk to a 9ish point win.

Way off on this. I’ve never liked how 4 guard lineups almost always force us to change our lineups/style.

I would think hard about starting Garrett on Saturday.

It’s really strange and quite annoying that Kansas and Self always seem to adjust to other teams, but no one has to adjust to how KU plays.

Granted with a healthy Dok at the 5 and Lawson at the 4 might change that, but it happens every year.

McCormack is great, and I think he's not 'two years away', but I don't think he's prepared yet to handle swarming smaller defenders.

Dok would have been a guaranteed 2 points every trip down against those dudes.

Charlie Moore records a scintillating .074 Crimscore to boost his season to a .115.

I don’t know how the metrics are measured, and this thing is not really of my concern.

However, just paying attention to numbers I have to wonder how Moore’s score, which is less than his season average, is a ‘boost’ to his average. That defies logic, to me at least.

I think he has as much a chance to play good/damn good Saturday as he does to be a non-factor again. Freshman.

That said, we gonna need to see a full game of the good Grimes (and Garrett), not the throwing up bricks and passes into the back of each other ones.

Just have to adapt recruiting. You would think that DMac at 5 that Dedric would be able to handle the screen switches. It didn't work out and it wears out Dedric. Have to recruit big wings from here on out if basketball stays at this style.

It was a failed joke.
( PhD: "you're a failed joke" )
I shoulda put boost in quotation marks.

Yeah, I didn’t pay much attention for about 4 months. Most of the subtle jabs gonna sail over my head.

No one under Bill Self with Charlie's MPG ( 13.2 ) has had a Crimscore ( .115 ) as low as he.

Svi in 2015 had 11+ MPG and had a .110.
Christian Moody in 06 had 12+ MPG and had a .193.
Micah Downs in 06 had 11+ MPG and had a .184.
Kaun in 05 had 10+ MPG and had a .144.
