Because we rely extremely heavily on 4 players (and really only two to score, McCullar and Dickinson, who are fortunately two of the top 5-10 players in the country) and have almost no depth around them to take the load off during these games.
Watching 2023-2024 KU has become sort of akin to watching a NBA game right now where the teams just coast for the first 3/4 of it and raise their intensity at the end. They show up when it matters and that's been enough in pretty much every game so far. We'll see if it is against tougher competition next month.
