Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
You're right.
I just had to point it out to those handful and just in case Rock Chalk Blog was reading.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
I think you cant both credit Remys struggles and absence on a knee injury while also thinking DMacs foot isnt affecting his play.
Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
Dave gets it. He may spazz and play soft time to time, but he understands the culture here and what Self expects out of him.
I’m on the Super Senior Dave Bandwagon.
Remy Martin is going to go down as the starting PG for the Bill Self “All Weird Situation” team.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
But also Dave may have an actual injury.
Unless we think hes faking limping around the court.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
One of the fair criticisms of self is injuries.
I understand why he doesn't make things public...though that's frustrating as a fan.
But I'm tired of guys having to play through nagging injuries. Self always says they're not at risk of getting hurt worse...but how many injuries is that actually true for? And isn't it better to let the guy heal and play pain free?
I mean it's McCormack now, Ellis, Selden, Garrett, etc.
Not to mention the weirdness of guys like Remy and embiid.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
I think it has something to do with the surgery he had last offseason. Whatever that may be?

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
There is a chance there is a sub-patellar bursa on Remy's knee too. That can take weeks to heal.

Wow it started at 10.5 and moved all the way down to 5?pdub wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:15 pmIt was 10.5.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:13 pmI was surprised when I saw the 5pt spread...but makes sense. We always struggle in Morgantown.
If I was still gambling I'd have hit it hard at 5.5.
Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
Ugly game, WVU doesn't have the energy of classic Huggins teams for a few years now. Not sure if he can't connect to this generation or if he's missing on recruiting his kind of guys.
Dave played his ass off. He's really not moving well, but he's fighting like hell. Making better decisions too. Our defense is going to be a problem against bigs that can shoot threes, he can't defend a pick-and-pop on that bum foot. His defense is still light years better than Lightfoot's...
Who was awful, just absolutely awful. How can he still not box out or go after defensive rebounds after six years? It's not physical (except when he got owned by Osawhatever) - it's just fundamentals. Weird that the freshmen bigs didn't play.
Yesufu played well. Better than Harris. Good to see.
Win in Morgantown is meaningful. 11-2 in this conference is really good.

Dave is really solid player. He will most appreciated once he's gone and we've got some freshman bigs running around out there againsdoyel wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 10:04 pm Dave gets it. He may spazz and play soft time to time, but he understands the culture here and what Self expects out of him.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
Can’t wait for us all to throw Dave under the bus in next year’s game threads

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
why wait til next year when you can just read this year's threads?
Just Ledoux it
Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
Obviously the complaints will be completely different next year.
Instead of: Why is Dave getting all the minutes, we gotta get Clemence and Adams more minutes.
It'll be: Why is Dave getting all the minutes, we gotta get Clemence, Adams, Udeh, and Zuby more minutes.
Completely different.

Getting ahead of ourselves, but Zuby seems like a likely shirt.

Re: Official Gamethread KU @ West Virginia
Zuby has done nothing. I start Harris a small five.
Seriously, sometimes I think the pay sites read this board and then stick the appraisal behind a pay wall. I notice today that Phog has a VIP article about what sprung Och. My guess is the Wilson face guarding like we postulated here. Huggy even quoted my turning point post for the game (The Yes inbound steal and layup).
