Furphy gets a foul call for backing up and having a guy dribble a ball off his own leg.

Did you see Embiid score 70 tonight? Man his effort was off the charts! He was trying soo hard to be 7ft 2 and shoot 3s like Steph Curry and still be able to run like a gazelle. His repeated effort and ability to try harder than others helped him have his best game ever! Why doesn't he just try this hard every game and he would win more championships as Jordan. What an idiot he is that he doesn't realize this!

You didn't answer the question again.

Again, under your theory of our starters conserving energy (which I take no issue with in itself), those players can't play as hard as other starters on other team then with actual benches then, correct?

Yep. Basketball is all about effort. Totally agree with everything you said. Its why each year players stay in school they typically get better. Every year they learn how to try harder than 100%. By their senior year they are giving 210%!

Need to get KJ involved to get his usual array of easy quick twitch buckets

Then we agree then. KU can't play as hard as most teams because they have no depth. Or, in your words, they have to conserve energy (and aren't able to "run as hard").

Furphy is really excellent at relocating to create scoring opportunities. He does it at the 3PT line quite often and most of his teammates don't even notice it. High BBIQ.

Did KJ Adams ever play football in high school? You have to think there is no way he wouldn't make at least an NFL practice squad with his build and athleticism.

McCullar looks ****ing exhausted out there.

there's your answer

Harris missing wide open layups that don't even hit the rim these days.

Furphy seems to be able to defensive rebound. We need that since KJ struggles there.

Does McCullar have vertigo? He's just missing badly tonight

lol we don't have any bench points yet

Nice interview with Bill after the game.
