You can see the wealth of just simple raw talent Self has on this team.
They're going to need to learn how to play team defense though.
It's going to be important that this team needs to rebound. I hoping that won't be a problem this season as KU faces better competition when they maybe won't have a superior height advantage. It was the first game (exhibition) so I hope things change....because they sure as hell didn't look good the 1st half on the boards.
A lot of these kids had some major jitters last night. Which is expected....they're a team w/ a lot of hype they (maybe unfairly) have to live up to and they're playing on one of the biggest/historic stages in the game at Allen Fieldhouse with a basketball crazed fanbase that's tired of watching their football team get destroyed.
They will get better w/ time. But playing Duke early is going to be a problem. Guess there's no better way to learn where you're at as a really young team than to throw these young cubs to the wolves, and see if they can hold their own.
