[Buehler445]

My buddy familiar with insiders texted me these notes - we shall see if his info is good:




Kinda sorta what you said. They’ve already internally to go after the booster destination and will argue these guys work for multiple programs hence not boosters.

They don’t work for Kansas at all, they work for Adidas helping their portfolio of schools. It’s therefoe impossible they can be tied to any 1 school. They’re indiff to whether recruit goes to Kansas or Arizona. This argument will be released in the next month or two”

That makes good sense.

[Prison Bitch]

I was on the plausible-deniability train yesterday but I think I’m off it now. Yeah, the argument is either they work for Adidas, or they work for everyone.


Buddy said KU is discussing a “malicious prosecution” lawsuit vs NCAA if they’re singled out. Hold onto your hats.

I don't know what the burden of proof is on the suit, but I'd say file that bitch.

If the NCAA will look at the deposition and only pick KU, that's hogshit.

Especially after that fool is trying to dig up 100K for Zion, and he ends up at Duke. As if he'd go there for free. :spock:

"Buddy" as in butt buddy.

[BryanBusby]

Are we at the stage where we're still pretending that the NCAA has any sort of a clue as to what they are doing, or have we moved onto we'll show them! yet? Inquiring minds need to know!

So common sense does still exist.

On the college b-ball board that I read, the Duke apologists claim exactly that—Zion had demands for KU only and opted to play at Duke for free.

And of course, every Kentucky fan thinks they’re 100% clean and that somehow they’ve been exonerated.

In summary, everyone cheats but the two schools that bag all the talent. Can’t make it up.

Of course, Merl Code himself was caught on tape saying specifically that Duke, Kentucky and all top Nike schools cheat, but they know more than he does.

[ROYC75]

Gosh damn, all I know is I'm living here in Kentucky with a damn Target on my back every time I wear my KU gear outing public.

Or that Kansas knows. We were Adidas’ “victims” in the Federal Courts then turned around and took a 12/191 endorsement deal with them. There’s no end to college sports hypocrisy.

[lawrenceRaider]

Wasn't that douche at Arizona caught on tape authorizing 100k for someone?

Yes, and nada from that.

[Prison Bitch]

Was told Self and Townsend kept repeating they have never paid anyone. There’s a sense they don’t even understand what is being presented. The rules have changed - these guys are now 60ish. Wonder if they’re just used to the old rules of “don’t pay you’re ok”


Frankly the shoe companies have really taken hold of this sport. Legally you’ll never be able to bar them as it’s a restriction of trade and hence unconstitutional.

Bill Self sports Adidas shirt in Kansas promo video


Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self, whose program was charged with five NCAA Level I violations this week, appears in a school-released video walking through a record store to Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" while wearing a shirt with a large "Adidas Basketball" logo and a chain with a "$" sign to promote the rapper's appearance at Late Night at the Phog.

Two sides of thought but generally the nicer someone is the more lenient Ill be with them. If they are a straight asshole about it i won't do them any favors.

Phsychopaths would do the opposite, though.

Even Mizzou fans have said never ever cooperate with the NCAA after their recent experience. In literally every recent instance, the result has been "thanks for your help, now we're going to F you hard."

Georgia Tech just cooperated with the NCAA, and their sanctions seem way too harsh.

Well, turns out Self didn't like it.

Self on Snoop's performance: "I didn't know that there was going to be anything like that. I was told this was going to be radio-edited and everything else. I guess you don't have visuals on the radio. ... That's not the direction that anybody at our school would want to go regardless of the entertainment it provided many. It was still not the right way to provide the entertainment."

I would totally make fun of them if they had the Rolling Stones. Theres nothing more a 17 year old recruit would want than to see the rolling Stones.

I agree about Snoop though. He probably doesn't reasonate in the minds of a 17 year old like we would think. He was at his peak when these kids weren't even born.

Not sure how you could make fun of booking The Rolling Stones, even though I certainly wouldn’t want to see it. It would not mean they were “out of touch,” because it’s still a hot ticket.

Snoop is the rap version of Rolling Stones. But not as old and more of a pop culture icon. He’s everywhere. Hit TV shows, movies, social media, various appearances and still playing to large audiences. He may not have any huge hits in the last 5 years, but he was consistently involved in hits up to that point.

Corey Evans on Gethro Muscadin -- “He’s a hard playing big with length and good strength,” said Corey Evans. “He brings a great level of physicality to the playing floor, along with an improving skillset. He can score over his left shoulder with soft touch and even shoot some facing the basket.

“He might not be a go to weapon immediately, but rather should develop in due time, but also be leaned upon immediately due to his motor and frame.”

KU basketball nets commitment from 2020 juco wing Tyon Grant-Foster
Matt Galloway

By
Posted Oct 14, 2019 at 6:49 PM
LAWRENCE — Kansas basketball went to the junior college ranks for its first commitment in the Class of 2020.

The Jayhawks on Monday afternoon received an oral pledge from Tyon Grant-Foster, a 6-foot-7, 185-pound wing from Kansas City, Kan. Grant-Foster, who played high school ball for Kansas City-Schlagle, will be a sophomore this season for Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa.

“I’m staying home,” tweeted Grant-Foster, who added he is 110-percent committed.

One of the most coveted junior college recruits in the country, Grant-Foster also had offers from Kansas State, Texas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and LSU, among other Power Five programs. He averaged 8.2 points and 4.2 rebounds as a freshman for Indian Hills, connecting on 37.4 percent of his attempts from the floor with a 27.4-percent clip from 3-point range and a 67.7-percent conversion rate on free-throw tries.

Grant-Foster visited KU over the weekend. The program can’t comment on Grant-Foster’s commitment until he’s signed his national letter of intent.

“Thrilled for Tyon Grant-Foster on his commitment to Kansas,” tweeted Indian Hills coach Hank Plona. “Tyon is a special talent, and the real deal of a person. I am so proud of his hard work, character, and determination. Sky is the limit for Tyon!”

Recruiting outlet Rivals lists Grant-Foster as a four-star junior college prospect.

KU, which has one open scholarship following transfer of guard Issac McBride, is on track to free up two more this offseason with the departures seniors Udoka Azubuike and Isaiah Moss. Fellow senior Mitch Lightfoot could also leave if the Jayhawks choose not to redshirt him this season, and junior Silvio De Sousa, sophomores Devon Dotson and Ochai Agbaji and freshman Jalen Wilson are all candidates to leave early for the NBA Draft.

Didn't see much of it, but I already expect Wilson to be a streaky shooter. I don't think he'll have a major impact as a freshman, at least early on.

I've always been a Nebraska hoops fan. Dont forget Hoiberg got Doc Salder to leave his head coaching job at Southern Miss to be an assistant.

I expect KU to be very good and play a classic high low. Theyll pound alot of teams on the glass. Where theyll get into trouble is similar to the Nova final 4 game, Oregon, etc when teams can match them up front but out shoot them.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Looks like Garrett’s tired of hearing about his shooting. If he can shoot reliably from outside now, this team will have few weaknesses. Aside from possibly the fit of a few pieces. I don’t know how Azubuike and De Sousa will be able to play a lot together.

But there’s defensive ability all over, length, rebounding, strength, athleticism, and decent shooters throughout (if Garrett isn’t fool’s gold).

[BWillie]

Northwest Missouri State almost beat DUKE in a exhibition game. 69-63.

We are going to pound these clowns at the Champion Classic. If the line is anywhere near -3, I'm going to bet all the money in the world for Kansas to cover.

[BWillie]

KU wins their exhibition game by 60 something points against Pitt State, who looked god awful. Their coach is Kim Anderson, so that is to be expected.

Christian Braun looks already better than Quinten Grimes did last year, or would have been this year. He does everything well. A little to early to tell, but he seems to stay in front of his man well. Hopefully he has that lateral quickness that so many white guys just don't have.

Tristan Enaruna is the best pro prospect on the roster other than Ochai Agbaji. He's long, skilled and made some jumpers today.

Speaking of Ochai Agbaji. There is zero percent chance he is coming back, for his junior year because we are going to be on probation and he's going to be a Top 15 pick. This dude is my new hero. I don't think he missed tonight. Hit four first half threes. Teammates say his shot is greatly improved and they weren't surprised at all by his standout exhibition performances so far.

Jalen Wilson looks like a four year player, but he will still help us due to his versatility when we play smaller teams. We have the ability to go both small and big this year, I like it.

Devon Dotson shot the ball like shit, but he had 7 assists and 0 turnovers. If he shows he can be a distributor to go along with his scoring and quickness, look out.

Doke is Doke. And he still sucks at FTs. I do believe the guy is mentally weak. It's in his head at this point. We should probably tell him on the second FT to not even try to make it, try to bank it in and if he misses we have a better chance of a long rebound. He's that bad at free throws.

McCormick looks slowed down a bit and has a nice 15 foot shot. He tried a 3 tonight though and airballed it, but he looked like our best shooting big man out of Doke & SDS. Last year he always look sped up.

Moss played very few minutes due to nagging hamstring injury. He has a nice stroke, hit a three early and missed a couple. Hard to say much either way based on the performance and nagging injury.

Silvio De Sousa is by far the teams best rebounder. Rebounding is just effortless for him. I think he's the best pro prospect of the three bigs out of Doke & McCormick.

Marcus Garrett super duper defender. His shot looks legit better. He even hit a quasi step back 3 tonight and went 1-2 behind the arc. Hopefully his FT shooting is greatly improved, too. This team might be god awful from FT since we play two bigs and Garrett.

Mitch Lightfoot looks the same. They say he's improved his shot too and he hit a nice three. Becoming more of a pick and pop 4 man that can block some shots. I feel bad for them because it sounds like they are going to make him redshirt. I get it too, because next year when he'll be playing much more minutes we won't even be eligible for post season play anyway.

The red head kid chucks up bricks and is slow. Apparently he was a good HS player, but he's been disappointing in walk on minutes. But who really gives a shit, he's a walk on. Janks kid is now 2-2 from 3FG. The new folk hero?

I think KU is going the Carolina route. No guarantee the NCAA gives them a ban if they fight it. NCAA is a joke.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Bill Self commented recently that he's motivated to do his best coaching ever this season.

I think last night's performance supports this. The team looks much better and more focused than they usually do in preseason. They look like they're in midseason form already.

We'll know more when they face Duke in a few days, but I'm pumped for this year.

An angry Self + arguably the best roster in the country could be an awesome thing.

[Prison Bitch]

KU wins their exhibition game by 60 something points against Pitt State, who looked god awful. Their coach is Kim Anderson, so that is to be expected.

Christian Braun looks already better than Quinten Grimes did last year, or would have been this year. He does everything well. A little to early to tell, but he seems to stay in front of his man well. Hopefully he has that lateral quickness that so many white guys just don't have.

Tristan Enaruna is the best pro prospect on the roster other than Ochai Agbaji. He's long, skilled and made some jumpers today.

Speaking of Ochai Agbaji. There is zero percent chance he is coming back, for his junior year because we are going to be on probation and he's going to be a Top 15 pick. This dude is my new hero. I don't think he missed tonight. Hit four first half threes. Teammates say his shot is greatly improved and they weren't surprised at all by his standout exhibition performances so far.

Jalen Wilson looks like a four year player, but he will still help us due to his versatility when we play smaller teams. We have the ability to go both small and big this year, I like it.

Devon Dotson shot the ball like shit, but he had 7 assists and 0 turnovers. If he shows he can be a distributor to go along with his scoring and quickness, look out.

Doke is Doke. And he still sucks at FTs. I do believe the guy is mentally weak. It's in his head at this point. We should probably tell him on the second FT to not even try to make it, try to bank it in and if he misses we have a better chance of a long rebound. He's that bad at free throws.

I'm very curious how this roster of bigs works in the new era of basketball (3s). But since it's early in the year, I'm guessing KU wins by a significant margin.

[BWillie]

I think this is the most overrated Duke team in recent memory. But admittedly it's hard to handicap these things with so many new players. But Duke's recruiting class this year is as weak as it's been in many years. They have Vernon Carey Top 2 recruit and Matthew Hurt Top 15 recruit. The other recruits are just Top 30 guys who may or may not be ready.

Tre Jones wasn't even very good last year and at times was a liability. I expect him to be improved, but Dotson is a better COLLEGE BASKETBALL player.

The line started at -2.5 Duke and people hammered that line and it's now -3 Kansas. I guess almost losing to a D2 team in your exhibition game will do that. Granted it was Northwest Missouri State, but there are tons of question marks with Duke.

Duke is going to really pressure the ball this year, and may do a type of press. It will be interesting to see what we do if we encounter that because playing two bigs against that pressure is a recipe for disaster. Having Garrett & Dotson both in the game though is huge.

[Mr. Plow]

Played pretty badly last night, but the positive is that without 700 turnovers, we win by 15. Only reason Duke was in the game.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

To be fair, the Duke defense had a lot to do with that, as well. They executed a very good gameplan defensively against a much larger KU Team. It worked.

[Prison Bitch]

This isn’t a first game jitters. Self has never valued the basketball and it’s been discussed a lot in years past here - his team always rank high in TO. I think the FF team two years ago that played 4 guards/wings was one of the few he’s had that didn’t TO much

[CoMoChief]

Meh...1st game case of the sloppy jitters.

Cant turn the ball over 30x and expect to beat good teams.

Having that said...had KU done even a halfway decent job taking care of the ball they wouldve won by 10+

Turnovers are coachable.

The effort is there...just sloppy boneheaded play the 1st game.

My concern is their inability to shoot the 3. In the past theyve been able to shoot themselves out of offensive funks, last yr that wasn't the case and so will this yr.

While I agree to an extent - last night was a record # of turnovers for KU. Sure, Duke caused some of that, but KU looked unprepared to start the season which is unusual. Oh well. These early games mean very little.

[arrowheadnation]

5,000 turnovers, no Moss, still only lost by 2 to Duke....we'll be fine.

That Dook team sucks. They won’t win a damn thing this year. Total rebuild, no post game at all. Still beat us. That’s pathetic IMO


Oh well. These early games mean very little.

I assume you mean in terms of what happens at the end. Because the spotlight on these games is actually quite large and they’re our most important games until the NCAAT. Any matchup vs a fellow blue blood is worth infitnitely more than Big 12 matchups nobody cares about. Prestige, recruiting, bragging rights, and of course eyeballs on the tv

[BigRedChief]

To be fair, the Duke defense had a lot to do with that, as well. They executed a very good gameplan defensively against a much larger KU Team. It worked.Looked like a template to take away our advantage with the bigs thats going to be kept being used against us until someone can hit 3's consistently and or our passing underneath gets better when they double down on our bigs.

In the first hald anyway, that team last night looked like a team that could upset a major team in the NCCA tourney. Might have been us last night if that Kelley guy didnt hurt his shooting hand. He was hot. Anyway........

At least early, looks like our best outside shooters are sitting on the bench.

De Sousa only played like 6 minutes. Apparently Self thinks so also.

[KC_Connection]

Self completely pulled the plug on the 2 big set last night after more awful play (as they quite possibly would have lost if they hadn't). We may be strictly 1 big again sooner than anybody thought.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Didn’t see all of this game but Greensboro is a pretty good midmajor.

This will be a good KU team. And I don’t see any other teams being powerhouses. I think KU has as good of a shot as any to go all the way. They have a lot of work to do, but the pieces are there. Unfortunately, it’s looking like they’re going to have to limit the minutes for the bigs. They essentially have three 5s on the roster who have no face-up game. I’d heard that Silvio had developed his offensive skills and shooting, but no signs of it yet.

Agreed. I like this team, actually as long as we use the 4 guard most of the time. A 2 big look can be effective but only at certain times vs certain teams

[BWillie]

Jalen Wilson isn't a big loss for this team as long as Enaruna is healthy. Wilson will be a nice player but hes just a few years away.

[BWillie]

Dotson
Agbaji
Moss
Enaruna

Id like to see what that line up can do offensively

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Seems like every season there’s a major disappointment personnel-wise. For me, this year, it’s McBride leaving. To most, he was an afterthought, being the lowest ranked freshman. But I had high hopes, and I think he could have even played an important role on this team. He likely would have been the best outside shooter on the roster from day one.

You’re right. But I don’t agree with it.

[Titty Meat]

I'm surprised you guys are making an issue out of this. KU will roll the Big 12 and look pretty damn unstoppable come February. Their only issue in March will be a team that shoots good from the outside. Not sure they have the shooters to match up with Auburn or Oregon from past years. They should however be able to pound teams into submission on the inside.

You’re wrong. Our bigs don’t have the court awareness, footwork or sound enough technique to pound fools into submission. These dudes while fucking huge aren’t great basketball players at present.

By Febuary they will. Doke hasnt played in awhile man, same with SDS. I think McCormick will be a very good player.

This isnt Kevin Young or that Colby dude who was decent when he needed to be. The guys mentioned above a legit talent. You really think a top 3 coach in the game will waste all of that talent? I dont think so. Weve seen this movie atleast 10 times dude

Since manning left the improvement in the big men has been less. Doke is a senior and has horrible feet. McCormick played a lot of minutes last year and while he is really talented he can’t figure what to do with the ball offensively. SDS might develop but he’s had 2 years to work on his game and it looks bad. If Manning was here I’d be stoked. He’s not. Vanderbilt looks terrible. I wonder if he would come back

Combo guard with good size and decent length. Big-time scorer who can knock down shots from all three levels. Very crafty with ball in his hands and uses handle and footwork to create his own shot. Difficult shot maker with fadeaways and runners in his arsenal. Not just a scorer; has tremendous vision and can facilitate for teammates. Given his vision and scoring ability, can play on and off ball. Has size and feel to defend multiple positions. Trajectory has been extremely impressive. If continues to improve at same rate he is well on NBA path.

UK lost to Evansville? Yikes.

I always like Cunliffe. Why did he leave?

He actually left because he's physically unable to play the kind of defense Self wants. However...


After the game, Cunliffe talked with national college hoops analyst Jeff Goodman about the victory and had some kind words to say about Kansas and Bill Self, who sent Cunliffe a congratulatory text after the win.

“It was the first text I responded to,” Cunliffe told Goodman. “He was really hard on me. Seeing that text from him meant a lot to me. I wouldn’t have been able to do what I dd tonight without Kansas. Coach Self made me tougher.”

In two games with the Purple Aces (2-0), Cunliffe is averaging 17 points and five rebounds in 27 minutes per game off the bench.

After starting his career at Arizona State and transferring to KU after a semester, Cunliffe sat out the second semester of 2016-17 season and the first of the 2017-18 season before appearing in 15 games with the Jayhawks during their run to the Final Four in 2018.

[Lzen]

I liked Cunliffe, too. He just couldn't seem to play tough or play defense. Gotta do both of those to play for Self. He may have eventually figured it out, though. Kid was a good player, otherwise.

On the one hand, KU has nothing to complain about if you're going to dribble the ball like that and turn your back to the court. On the other, it's a douche move. If you are such a tough guy do that during the first 39:54 of the game and maybe they won't be dribbling out the clock on you.

Even if its a character, Walton comes off as someone who has lost way too many braincells.

It's good to see we have the guard play to run with only 1 big. Will be even better when Wilson comes back. Having Doke and McCormack out there together was painful to watch.

Walton didn't seem as bad this time. Although it may be because I had the sound so low I could barely hear it and it was a blow out game.

But the last time with Walton that I remember was a close game and all he wanted to do was tell dumb stories and talk about UCLA and other PAC schools. We weren't playing a PAC school.

Agreed. He can certainly make a boring game entertaining, but he's unbearable when your squad is playing a Pac-12 team, esp UCLA.

[sedated]

Doke may be a mountain, but he might be the least skilled senior big I've ever seen. Even when he has his arm up begging for the ball, its not great position to make an entry pass, which is ridiculous given his size.

These fucking white guys can't play. That's all there is too it. KU plays sound ball this game is like 90-20.

Kansas bigs couldn’t throw a penny in Niagara Falls.

[KC_Connection]

I mean, I knew Duke was a joke after watching them almost lose to KU with 28 turnovers, but losing at home as a 28 point favorite is ridiculous.

[KC_Connection]

Doke may be a mountain, but he might be the least skilled senior big I've ever seen. Even when he has his arm up begging for the ball, its not great position to make an entry pass, which is ridiculous given his size.
He has virtually no basketball skill at all. Can't pass, shoot, or move his feet effectively to position himself on either end. Massive dude, though, which gives him some value at this level.

[KC_Connection]

KU definitely appears to be a top 5 defense in the country this season. It's the offense that certainly leaves a lot to be desired right now.

[Reerun_KC]

Gonna be a long season. Especially the conference. Gonna be a struggle again.

First half defense was awful. And to be fair, I could guard some of those guys. They're tiny, slow, and not even remotely athletic outside of the alien head.

Yeah, whatever their point guards name is Hawes or something. His fucking forehead is bigger than the aliens from Mars attacks.

For KU? It was fine. Only reason they were leading at half (29-27). The offense on the other hand was a dreadful, disgusting wreck.

And BYU is your standard BYU team on the fringes of the tournament. They're all right (albeit missing their best player right now).

E.T. Phone home?

Way too early to say either way, but they certainly look like one of the best teams in the country to me so far due to the defense alone. Offense is far easier to work on/fix. And eventually Self will stop playing the archaic 2 big lineups that they can't score with.

They missed a pile of assignments it looked to me like.

[Buehler445]

Holy fucking hell. Pukes upset (at Cameron) was the biggest upset in the last 15 years.

YIKES.

[KC_Connection]

They missed a pile of assignments it looked to me like.
A few guys lost their man a few times, but they completely took away everything BYU was trying to do offensively and forced almost 10 turnovers in the 1st half. I believe KU didn't even score for a 5+ minute stretch and it didn't matter at all because BYU could get nothing on them.

[KC_Connection]

Holy fucking hell. Pukes upset (at Cameron) was the biggest upset in the last 15 years.

YIKES.
I can't think of a bigger upset in my lifetime. Losing as a 28 point favorite at home is worse than Norfolk State.

[Buehler445]

You think it's worse than Norfolk State?

Certainly more pain getting dumped in the first round while KU went to the championship.

If nothing else, it's a good excuse to bring up Norfolk State. ROFL

Doke may be a mountain, but he might be the least skilled senior big I've ever seen. Even when he has his arm up begging for the ball, its not great position to make an entry pass, which is ridiculous given his size.

He may be a senior, but he’s really only played like a season and a half. You have to think those injuries really stunted his development.

[smithandrew051]

Bilas was slobbering all over Dayton. They do have a really good skilled big man. We may be better off guarding him with Enaruna than having one of the three really big guys chase him around the perimeter.

[Buehler445]

That would be my guess. He doesn’t look bulky so Enaura should, if is his technique is good enough, so better than a big chasing him.

However Self will probably try to make him defend Doke or McCormick, which also is sound.

[sedated]

Doke shouldn't even attempt to guard that guy. McCormack has some good agility for his size, that seems worth a try.

Toppin has 4 inches on him, but Garrett is the best defender and has guarded bigs before.

[sedated]

He may be a senior, but he’s really only played like a season and a half. You have to think those injuries really stunted his development.

1 full season and 2 half seasons, so essentially he's a junior. Still, dude looks worse that Thomas Robinson his freshman year.

From what I saw from him yesterday, he’d abuse Garrett in the post. I’d let McCormack-DeSousa play him and make him rain 3s.

[sedated]

This game has been incredible so far.

Garrett/Agbaji have been guarding him (with help), and Toppin hasnt taken a shot yet.

[Pablo]

Very fun first half all around so far. Fun to watch. Complete 180 from watching that duke game.

[Reerun_KC]

Jesus. This is horrible basketball.

KU rocking a 4:43 scoring draught.

It’s drought genious.

KU is playing really well overall regardless .

Agbaji is McLemore streaky. Either red hot or ice cold. Ice cold so far.

Jay Bilas has been kind of insufferable from what I've watched/heard the past couple nights.... it's one thing to disagree with the NCAA (but then goes on to mock the situation last night... "how dare a player...") or a call ("that's awful, I'm 40 feet away...") or whatever, but he seems hell bent on complaining about anything there is to complain about..... "garbage!" ....sounds like a millennial.

[KC_Connection]

No idea why the Dayton player fouled Dotson at the end there. Also no idea why the refs didn't call it.

[KC_Connection]

No idea why Udoka is jumping at a 3 point shooter up 5 points with 30 seconds left.

[Dunit35]

Any streams for this?

It's over. KU is a 3 time holder of the very prestigious title now.

Udoka could score 20 point games all season due to his sheer massive size and I'll still see nothing wrong in what he wrote.

[Chief Pagan]

He shot better than normal but I have no idea why Dayton wasn't intentionally fouling Doka at the close of regulation.

Yeah me either.

[KC_Connection]

They should have been. Smarter coaches will just send out bodies to foul him at the end of the game to prevent KU from just tossing down to him endlessly.

[BigRedChief]

He shot better than normal but I have no idea why Dayton wasn't intentionally fouling Doka at the close of regulation.wasnt he 4/6 on free throws? If he can sustain that the end of the game hack a doke might go away. :hmmm:

wasnt he 4/6 on free throws? If he can sustain that the end of the game hack a doke might go away. :hmmm:

Sure but Dayton had no reason to think he was going to do that.

Yeah, I hope he can maintain a 67% rate. I would bet against it and the analytics says Dayton should have also.

[BWillie]

Just because he did doesn't mean he can. Its nice to face a coach with honor and Dayton seemed to have no interest in the hack a doke strategy. It worked, but it is a mistake to play Udoka in close games beyond the 3 or 4 minute mark. As it turns out he was one of the reasons we won the game and played great...but you shouldn't be relying on him like that down the stretch when SDS or McCormick can almost equally replace him and shoot much better FTs

Let him prove he's past whatever mental thing he had with FT's.

[PHOG]

Well, I think it's safe to say that Dayton will garner more than the 1 vote they received in the last AP rankings. I was impressed. Very. :hmmm:

[BigRedChief]

Well, I think it's safe to say that Dayton will garner more than the 1 vote they received in the last AP rankings. I was impressed. Very. :hmmm:Like Jay said in the broadcast. the game wasn't close because KU was playing bad, they were actually playing great, it was that Daytona was that good.

[PHOG]

Yeah, it was a good game for this early in the season.

[shitgoose]

Quality win. Dayton played well and went 16/33 from 3 - 48%. Would not like them in our bracket come March.

TRIGGERED derp

And no, everyone was laughing at you last year (and it actually wasn't a bad schtick until you got to the point where you couldn't possibly exaggerate any more, yet kept going).
