A lot worse. How this team was ever preseason #1 is baffling. So many holes and weaknesses

Yikes!

So looks like I didn’t miss much.
29 points?

He's going to be a really good player.

He just reminds me a lot of tyshawn. Tyshawn was a head ache early in his career

your track record speaks for itself

Before the season you were the one that predicted he'd be a starter for us this year and ready to make a big impact

I said he was raw and needs time to develop.

How's that for track record

He's going to be an elite college point, just not as a freshman. Probably junior season

did i say big impact?

I'm trying to get over that game, I knew it wasn't going to be great. Throwaway game.

But that was the worst effort I've seen in 40+ years. It sort of ruined the season for me, I have very little excitement going forward and that.....sucks.

I'm trying to forget it and move on but...man. I've never ever given up on a team but that lack of effort made me depressed.


Also, I don't like baseball....so when you're debating throwing in the towel in early February it makes for a loonnnggg offseason. Guess I'll be watching a lot of Rodeo until fall.

I thought they were "trying" for most of the game. They were just bad and missing shots.

if that was trying then I feel even worse about it

Was pretty easy to see that turd sandwich coming.

We are sick/banged up and have no bench.

We are terrible away from home.

We played a competitive game two days prior, and the Super Bowl was in between.

Nothing about yesterday changed my opinion on the ceiling and floor of this team…but my opinion on those things was not very encouraging anyway.

I think we saw the loss coming, but we didn't see the blowout coming

It's the type of game (with mccullar out and all other conditions) you'd expect your other all American to put his team on his back and lead

We did not even get arterio morris, who would've completely changed the dynamic of this team, and you were still completely wrong

I think this misunderstands what a 5 is really capable of doing.

We are - again - at least one ball-handler short.

Elmarko looks lost. Multiple games where he should be the secondary ballhandler and an outlet pass after a made basket hits him in the stomach because he isn't paying attention (thankfully he caught it last night and didn't turn it over or watch it whiz past him out of bounds).

Feels like he could be recruited over if the next 2 recruiting classes go well and we start getting some 1 and dones.

They can double and trap and try to cut out his post up game, which is what they did. But, when you are 7'2, you can impact the game with hustle and crashing the boards and getting putbacks and impacting the game defensively. We didn't get any of that from hunter

hd was bad last night.

Na. He's going to be a stud. We have a good point guard coming in next year, who's ranked about where elmarko was ranked in his class. Freshman pgs usually don't do that well at KU, takes time to learn the system and to play efficient self basketball

You guys are giving up on elmarko too soon. I'm seeing improvement

I assume you are aware that there is a tension between…well, a lot of those things. Particularly when the dropoff is to a preferred walk-on level guy.

I mean...he's no Deedrick

that you’re still pining over an accused sexual offender comes as no surprise

and it’s not like he hasn’t gotten the minutes to learn

it’s been mentioned multiple times throughout the season how him getting so many minutes due to roster issues SHOULD be great for his development. i’m not throwing in the towel on him just yet, but i’ve soured on him since the start of the season
