KU vs Illini exhibition thread

[InfiniteJ]

Small margin for error this year.

[twocoach]

Sports sucked today. Dickinson is overrated.

[Overlander]

I like Underwood

You should. He's a cross between you and Self.

Which part of him is me?

You're the best of the both of them!
You look like a combo of the two of them too. Fish looks like Self to me but that's another story.
One of the Underwood parts of him/you is that you both lived in Texas.

[AlOerter]

Biggest difference in this one was 3 pt shooting. New guys learning the hard way that KU is biggest game for everyone they play - exhibition or not.

Awwwww… now you have me blushing, Gutman!

[Sparko]

This should have been on a neutral floor. I do not like blood pacts in exhibition either. No reason to injure anyone. If they had just played game scenarios, okay. But this would have drawn better at KU if they are talking fund raising.

[ousdahl]

didn't realize Elmarko didn't start. Turned on the game with 19 minutes left in the 1st, and he was already in.

Right now I'm thinking that dood is this team's ceiling.

[ousdahl]

wait I think I'm reading that box score wrong. I'm tired

[twocoach]

20 shots to get those 22 points for Dickinson. He is going to cause a lot of arguments this year.

I figure we will get a bunch of he sucks and he's awesome. Probably not a lot in-between.
Assuming he doesn't do anything stupid to embarrass the team and/or the university, I don't foresee any valid arguments that the team is worse off having him on it.

[mjl2]

I could make one

[pdub]

I could also make one.

Just feels like DC's vision of "Dedric Lawson vibes" may be a serious possibility where we have "but he had 20 and 10" on one side and "the entire offense ground to a halt for him to get that" on the other.

Dunno, this is not a confidence building roster makeup for me at this point. Lots of holes out there.

same. We shall see how the year plays out and I'd love to be wrong.

Lawson was maybe rhe most frustrating Jayhawk for me to watch in the last 40 years.

He was incredibly difficult to get excited about and surprisingly hard to cheer for....I hope Hunter is not that, but I can see the potential comparison

i’m not sold one way or the other on the roster yet, but yesterday’s performance by HD (at least in the first half) didn’t instill much confidence

KJ seemed to struggle a bit, too

DH, KM, and even Elmarko were solid on the limited minutes i was able to watch

all that said, it was closed-door scrimmage that was turned into an exhibition for charity. i’m gonna try to not read too much into it

Agreed. The odds of a roster with this much turnover looking great from Day One were pretty low and the three returning players all have major holes in their game.

I'm confident that Bill Self will have this team cookin' by February, per usual.
