They'd be around 8 on my list.

George Liquor · 12-01-2023, 11:28 PM

Mason/Jackson should be way higher. Choking away that elite 8 game against Oregon was a criminal.

smithandrew051 · 12-02-2023, 12:46 AM

I don’t think I could rank them, but I have a few thoughts:

Most dominant skill set: Dotson and Doke. Dotson was an absolutely blur with the ball. Doke was a dominant force. Few teams could match up with one, let alone both of them.

Highest ceiling: Wiggins and Embiid. Embiid is an all time great NBA player. Wiggins has averaged like 15+ in the NBA for a decade.

Overachievers: Agbaji and Braun. Low level local kids who won it all.

Personal favorites: Tyshawn and T Rob. 2012 was my senior year at KU. They were fun to watch in person so many times.

Best supporting cast: Mario and Rush. 2008 was nearly a perfect college basketball team. Honorable mention - 2010 Sherron and Aldrich.

That Oregon game was one of my least favorite ever. Jordan Bell broke it off in Landen Lucas.

I’ll always wonder what could have been with a healthy Doke that year.

FF minimum. Title likely.

UCONN played with a lot of grit, being down 11 points multiple times the 1st half! Cutting into that 9pt halfĺlftime lead right away when we usually open things up starting most 2nd halves.

Then for us to go down 5 pts and not folding, that 11 pt run turned the corner!

Quality win against a team that is capable to win it all, again.

cmh6476 · 12-02-2023, 10:06 AM

That was one of the best gameday atmospheres I can ever remember, and I've been to a ton of games at AFH. UCONN wasn't ready for that atmosphere and it showed. Those players will likely never play in that kind of atmosphere anywhere ever again in their 4 year careers.

Once they settled down it became a game. But even when we were dominant like some of you have said they would just get lucky and hit shots they were forced to throw up. I give KU credit for staying focused and disciplined and not letting that one get away, because it easily could have.

That's what I'm seeing as our weakness so far. If Jackson cant hit 3's consistently we are going to lose games we have no business losing like the EI game.

smithandrew051 · 12-02-2023, 10:44 AM

Though he’s a bit limited, KJ Adams is really growing on me.

His attitude, effort, and improvement are impressive. That guy is a warrior.

It’s no wonder why Self loves him so much.

**PHOG** · 12-02-2023, 11:10 AM

Well, I didn't know Purdue got their first loss last night.

farmerchief · 12-02-2023, 11:30 AM

One question I have, and I could have missed reading the answer somewhere? Does Timberlake miss 3's in practice also, or just in the games?
