KU just couldn't overcome the amount of adversity they faced this yr, very little to no bench support. Loss of Doke really hurt this team...it's forced KU to play small, and they don't have the offensive firepower to play small and play the track meet game.
This team can't play on the road. AWFUL.
This team can't shoot themselves out of offensive funks like teams in the past. They are terrible from downtown, and the loss of Vick (say what you will about the guy - when he was on, he was ON) makes it that much worse. Many times this team is terrible in half court O.
They might win their first rd matchup in the NCAA...probably will lose their 2nd. I'd be surprised if they make S16.

Can't argue with any of this. However, I will add that for as much as Vick gave as a shooter, he gave up more on defense, lack of concentration (many times leading to TOs, and lack of leadership.
