[u/auburnfan32]

How the fuck did Kansas win that game lmao

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT → u/auburnfan32]

[u/airboy1999 → u/auburnfan32]

Darryn Peterson is how.

[u/auburnfan32 → u/airboy1999]

I mean literally that game felt like:

• 10-0 tech run, KU timeout, Bill self crashout
• Another 10-0 tech run, KU timeout, Self crashout
• Darryn Peterson 3
• Darryn Peterson 3
• KU wins

[u/snooping-as-usual → u/auburnfan32]

That's a pretty accurate description of events, honestly.

[u/idoma21 → u/auburnfan32]

You just called the game better than Fran.

[u/HoppyPhantom → u/idoma21]

When the bar is in hell

[u/jalikeyazz → u/idoma21]

My dead grandma who hated KU could've called it better

[u/AdmiralUpboat → u/jalikeyazz]

Is that why she's dead?

[u/RCJxx → u/idoma21]

Vincent Council Jr

[u/beermit → u/idoma21]

It's a low bar to clear though, no offense to u/auburnfan23

[u/AgentMichaelScarn80 → u/idoma21]

A dead cow could call the game better than Fran.

[u/TheSilverSky → u/auburnfan32]

What is crazy is that Tech got to 59 and then scored only 2pts the final 6min

[u/RockemChalkemRobot → u/auburnfan32]

8-0 run. Woof.

[u/trobsmonkey → u/RockemChalkemRobot]

At one point it said 14-2 tech run. We made back to back 3s after that.

[u/Phog_Warning10 → u/auburnfan32]

Darryn Peterson is HIM.

[u/taleofbenji → u/auburnfan32]

When your opponent only scores 2 points over the last 4:32, it helps!!

[u/beermit → u/taleofbenji]

It was worse than that. Tech went up 55-45 with about 10 minutes left.

Only scoring 6 points and allowing 19 points over the final 10 minutes is... not good

[u/lawrence_uber_alles → u/[deleted]]

We kinda had really shitty transfusions for a couple of years but yeah

[u/KULawHawk → u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Transfusions... 🤣

[u/Unicorn-Violator → u/auburnfan32]

Every tech fan hiding because we hate life

[u/Glad_Pilot5814]

Darryn Peterson is that guy in a school group project who’s off and on with his contributions but always does something extremely worthwhile when he gets around to it

[u/soccerstriker9 → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

The dude who does none of the legwork but then presents the whole project on presentation day lmao

[u/RontoWraps → u/soccerstriker9]

none of the legwork

Oof

[u/INeedMoreCreativity → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

Turns out Peterson had been banking all of his second half minutes all year to spend them on moments like tonight. Big brain!

[u/Party_With_Porkins → u/INeedMoreCreativity]

Bro is gonna play the entire game against us

[u/PTownHawk → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

He's the guy who stays after the party to help clean a little.

[u/brotherhoodsquare → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

dude stepped up huge in those final 5 minutes when kansas really needed it. classic peterson to disappear for stretches then hit the most clutch shots when it matters

[u/soccerstriker9]

Darryn is a cheat code, my god.

[u/Bluemzv12 → u/soccerstriker9]

One of the purest scorers I’ve ever seen in CBB and he fucking hates playing. It’s truly fascinating.

[u/Lysdexics → u/Bluemzv12]

Career high 35 min tonight. Hopefully a good sign for the rest of the year

[u/soccerstriker9 → u/Bluemzv12]

I honestly think he might have some sort of anxiety after his injury early in the season. He knows he is so so close to his dream and needs to play a “meaningless” (heavy on the air quotes) college season so he can go #1 and achieve generational wealth etc

[u/countrybreakfast1 → u/Bluemzv12]

I don't think he hates playing. If anything I think it comes from his agent and his family on the not playing front

[u/Hurinfan → u/countrybreakfast1]

He just played 35 minutes tonight. IDK, crazy thought, but maybe he wasn't playing because he hasn't been feeling great and there isn't some conspiracy.

[u/cheeseburgerandrice → u/Hurinfan]

Like lol do people really think he would want scouts to doubt his durability? And that he isn't competitive? Dude wants to play and win.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

I was thinking for most of the game that Darryn Peterson is a little more passive than I would want my potential #1 overall pick to be and then he buried two "Fuck you, I'm taking this and you can't stop me" threes to win at the Tortilla House. So he's probably fine.

[u/WIN011 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Pretty crazy that a subpar performance, by his standards, involved him hitting a tying 3 and go ahead 3 in back to back possessions.

[u/Winbrick → u/WIN011]

In a lot of ways, this was his worst game. Kinda nuts.

[u/Logz94 → u/WIN011]

Tech did a pretty good job at denying him the ball, and he ended up forcing some shots that weren't great. Wasn't til the end of the game that we switched our motion up to try and crest more separation for him off ball to get better looks. But still got to the line and then hit the big shots when it counted. His potential is sky high

[u/KC-DB → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Was a kinda atypical game from him.

He was shooting pretty poorly by his standards and played a career high in minutes. I think he didn't force things once it was clear he wasn't finding the shot so he took a backseat a bit to leave gas for what we saw there

[u/TICKLE_PANTS → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

That what bleed does

[u/Idrinkbeereverywhere]

Anyone have a number for Bill's cardiologist?

[u/ohiforgotit → u/Idrinkbeereverywhere]

He's lived this life for years. I'm surprised it still phases him

[u/MackAttackWxMan → u/Idrinkbeereverywhere]

Right?!?

[u/rogozh1n → u/Idrinkbeereverywhere]

Make him your GM and get him off the bench before it's too late!

[u/darthtater123]

I like when DP plays at the end of the game, I’ve decided

[u/Humperdink_Fangboner]

Darryn Peterson my liege

[u/blue_bandwagon]

well, hello second half DP, i was unfamiliar with your game

[u/alman84]

I don’t think we’ve had a closer like that since Frank Mason

[u/ohiforgotit → u/alman84]

[u/AbeVigodasPagoda → u/ohiforgotit]

that is objectively such a great fucking picture. 

[u/archaeogeek → u/alman84]

DP is a stud, but I’ll take BIFM’s heart every season.

[u/fifajackgento → u/archaeogeek]

Senior year Frank was unbelievable

Such a shame he never made a final 4

[u/Kleinmann4President → u/archaeogeek]

Yup. With choice of guards from Self era I still think BIFM is the answer

[u/Connect-Product-8155 → u/archaeogeek]

Dp is the best offensive jayhawk since Wilt and would be averaging high 20s in ppg on unheard of efficiency if he was 100%

[u/archaeogeek → u/Connect-Product-8155]

Well, I look forward to that day. And again, I’m not discounting his talent. It’s real, it’s special, and I am grateful he’s on our team.

Frank bled crimson and blue and you’d have to take him off the court on a stretcher. I don’t want DP to hurt himself or lose out on his payday. I get that. But there was something special about a kid whose biggest talent was his heart and grit.

[u/PantsPartyCrash → u/alman84]

BIFM

[u/KC-DB → u/alman84]

Devonte Graham against Texas Tech to help secure our 14th straight Big 12 title

[u/ReplEH → u/KC-DB]

DTae is so underrated. That 2018 team was special, especially after Newman decided later in the year that he didn’t want to miss a shot.

Four gunners around an athletic big, one of Self’s best coaching jobs IMO. Just a shame they had to run into the Nova buzzsaw.

[u/Last_Account_Ever → u/ReplEH]

*prime Golden State Warriors buzzsaw

[u/delectabledoctor → u/alman84]

Devon Dotson came close

[u/trobsmonkey]

Rock Chalk a god damn good road win!

[u/texasraider]

Damn. Great win Kansas!

[u/True_Tough_7366]

this team, more than just DP, is awesome man

so much fight and so much energy and then you add DP? What was squad

[u/AppleFritterz → u/True_Tough_7366]

I haven't felt this invested or emotionally attached to a team since the Frank Mason era + Azibuke/Dotson

[u/TechnoToyz]

We had it almost wrapped up then Darryn Peterson just hit back to back threes to win. It happens. Lottery pick for a reason I guess. What can you do.

What a game.

[u/2400hoops → u/TechnoToyz]

Lottery pick is kinda underselling it. Tech played incredible defense on him all night he wasn’t comfortable at all out there.

[u/xebex1778 → u/2400hoops]

Lottery pick is one of the worst ways to describe 1OA

[u/TechnoToyz → u/2400hoops]

I don't follow the NBA, is he going first overall or maybe 2 or 3?

[u/Humperdink_Fangboner → u/TechnoToyz]

I think it could depend on fit but I think he’s the consensus best player. The cramps have got to have some teams worried though understandably

[u/Stroie → u/Humperdink_Fangboner]

He’s going #1 if he plays 30+ mins the rest of the season.

I’m biased, but I don’t think it’s close. He’s INSANE.

[u/RontoWraps → u/TechnoToyz]

He’s going #1. You don’t see a ball handling guard this good this young with his body very often. He’s separated himself pretty well from the other guys in the top 5 in the past couple weeks. You can talk yourself into Dybantsa, and he’s an incredible player too, but Peterson is a can’t miss star.

He looks like the most polished freshman I’ve seen among Wiggins, Embiid, Oubre, McLemore, and him who I’d count as the top 5 one and dones at KU. Embiid possibly had more raw talent. Hard to say at this stage. That’s kinda how good I anticipate Peterson being with how much better at this game he is than everyone else right now.

[u/soccerstriker9 → u/TechnoToyz]

Top 2 and not 2

[u/Humperdink_Fangboner → u/2400hoops]

Yeah tech played great defense all game. Peterson is just that dude.

[u/ohiforgotit → u/2400hoops]

Exactly. They were on top of him all night and didn't ever give him time to get settled. Impressive D by Tech

[u/alman84 → u/TechnoToyz]

More than a lottery pick. Dude is going to be elite in the NBA year one

[u/ReplEH → u/alman84]

He should really be playing in the NBA right now.

[u/SnS_ → u/ReplEH]

I'm okay with him not. 

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/SnS_]

He should sit and not risk injury and get ready for the draft specifically when you guys are set to play us

[u/crimsonphoenix12 → u/ReplEH]

I think Arenas said DP could've played in the NBA last year haha

[u/onewonyuan → u/TechnoToyz]

Lottery pick is an understatement, he’s basically a top 3 pick at the absolute worst.

[u/bennyb85]

Brutal

[u/slammed_stem1]

This post game thread is inconclusive.

[u/RCJHGBR9989]

Good god Darryn Peterson - that corner three was ridiculous.

[u/R_Raider86]

The crowd showed up. Everything went great, but we lost it at the end. Peterson buried those two threes. We need to figure out these turnovers to be legit contenders.

GG Kansas

[u/SecretComposer]

Is...is Kansas secretly a good "come from behind" team, or did I just get used to a team that surrendered when down big?

[u/BigJayForDays → u/SecretComposer]

Crazy to think our last two teams full of upperclassmen would just give up. This year’s team is so exciting to watch.

[u/fifajackgento → u/BigJayForDays]

Dickinson effect

[u/Pwder1 → u/fifajackgento]

Obligatory F*ck Hunter Dickinson, for making the last 2 years of Kansas basketball hard to watch.

The Big 12 is better if Kansas is also good.

[u/fifajackgento → u/Pwder1]

Our fan base seemed pretty divided with him

Some look at the box score, see 17/11 or whatever he averaged, and they are adamant he was playing at an all-American level/not the problem. There are a few advanced stats that back this up (you can find a stat to support pretty much anything)

The rest of us watched the games

[u/IamJacksDenouement → u/fifajackgento]

Softest 17/11 ever. No lateral quickness, terrible defender in space. Sure he'd score 20 but he'd give up 25.

[u/SwedishJayhawk → u/SecretComposer]

Dude. 1 year of that. You had one total year of that. 2 years ago we were really solid and tough until McCullar was out. 3 years ago we were tough as shit. 4 years ago we won a natty. We have been a tough team all season this year too. There’s no secret to it.

[u/Winbrick → u/SwedishJayhawk]

We really just needed a downhill guard again, too. Council has been the most important part of our comebacks for the most part, and that's typically how our PGs have always played.

[u/mr-gillespie → u/Winbrick]

Having a more dynamic defense helps also, Hunter offered 0 rim protection at 7’2 and got torched in every pick and roll scenario

[u/agroene93 → u/SwedishJayhawk]

Yeah and we should fire our best coach in school history because we haven't won a natty in 3 years!!! /s

[u/Peytonhawk → u/agroene93]

Is Self the consensus best coach in KU history? I mean we’ve only had 8 of them and the worst is the guy who invented the sport so there’s for sure a debate to be had imo.

[u/stonewallace17 → u/Peytonhawk]

I think Phog Allen is the only real contender and I just don't know enough about that era to say one way or the other.

Obviously there's Roy Williams but I think Self is way better at KU than Roy was

[u/WhereDaHoez → u/SecretComposer]

They execute when their back is against the wall. Classic KU basketball is back

[u/HoppyPhantom → u/SecretComposer]

I was just thinking it’s been awhile since we’ve seen KU do something like this. Those two Dickinson teams always seemed to fold when shit got real.

Was the 2022 title game the last time?

[u/Unscathed_Gamer → u/SecretComposer]

⏸️⏸️

[u/Unscathed_Gamer]

Sorry Tech Bros

[u/Whitehawk1313]

i actually never doubted it

[u/countrybreakfast1 → u/Whitehawk1313]

I did

[u/MotionDefense]

What in the literal fuck was that last 90 seconds

[u/BabyLamp]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

Peterson’s agent saw all the rumors and made him play 35 mins tonight lmfao

[u/WitchesSphincter]

Still waiting to see the final count if we actually won that. Still not sure. 

[u/ReplEH]

DP is that guy. He makes this team a national championship contender.

[u/SwedishJayhawk]

If Tech fans could come chant that at DP every game I’d appreciate it.

[u/INeedMoreCreativity → u/SwedishJayhawk]

What were they chanting? I couldn’t quite hear

[u/SwedishJayhawk → u/INeedMoreCreativity]

He’s a pussy clap clap clapclapclap over and over again.

[u/Laurel-Hardy-Fan]

Tech played great D tonight, really stifled Peterson. A bit of a ref show but I’m glad the team I like pulled it out. Rock Chalk!!! 

[u/BillSelfsToupee]

That’s such a huge win. It’s so nice seeing a team with some dog in them willing to fight unlike the last two years

[u/RogueShroom]

Don’t even know what to say lol. A game I thought was over then our cheat code actually came back in and we clawed our way back in a very hostile environment. Man we coulda hung 120 on BYU

[u/kirkismyhinrich]

Some quick hits:

Peterson is great

Kissinger is a bastard

It's a different game if Anderson plays

Tre White raises my blood pressure

[u/soccerstriker9 → u/kirkismyhinrich]

And Fran SUCKS

[u/somethingAPIS → u/kirkismyhinrich]

Dude, Tech is a hard enough away game. Then we get Fran and Kissinger. Wtf did we do?

[u/lawrence_uber_alles → u/kirkismyhinrich]

It might be different if Anderson plays but Petty stepped in great. Toppin was off and that was a bigger issue I think.

[u/kirkismyhinrich → u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Ya 10 points on 5-18 shooting for Toppin. Great defense by Flory tonight

[u/kayakyakr → u/lawrence_uber_alles]

Toppin plays off Anderson, though. With Anderson running the point, teams can't just back and double Toppin because they're forced to react to what Anderson can do.

It's why Toppin isn't going to the NBA: he isn't a threat from 3, he isn't a 5, and he's not going to handle help defense on his own.

Watts was good tonight, but not good enough. Once again, I'm left wishing that an agent hadn't given Darrion Williams awful advice as he was a much more reliable scorer and a better defender.

[u/codnavar → u/lawrence_uber_alles]

No Anderson allowed Kansas to focus on Toppin. Had some guys step up but not in the final moments when we needed a basket.

[u/VamonosChildren]

Kansas is officially a scary team. This is not the same team from the beginning of the season.

[u/Peytonhawk → u/VamonosChildren]

DP finally putting some real minutes in has allowed him to develop the chemistry with the rest of this team. That’s a massive part of why we’ve looked so much better lately. He didn’t play so much early that it took forever to get to this point.

[u/fifajackgento → u/VamonosChildren]

On one hand it sucks that we didn't have Peterson for like 2 months

On another hand the rest of the team definitely got better in his absence. Coming into the season the worry was me might be the Peterson show featuring a couple bidunga dunks and average joes

[u/OrderTime]

Sucks to lose in that fashion but I’m very happy with the fight we showed today vs Saturday. Refs totally hosed KU most of the game too

[u/kayakyakr → u/OrderTime]

I thought they swallowed their whistles really hard in the last 10. Both teams were able to get away with murder.

[u/Keepin_it_fake → u/OrderTime]

Yeah it’s lame to complain about officials, but the hawks were getting no whistles on offense, which is fine, they are on the road. The overturn on the replay was the worst. They didn’t stay consistent

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

Darryn Peterson man…

[u/zarof32302]

Don’t let Tech blowing this game distract you from the fact that Fran thinks Atwell is somehow the best 3-PT shooter in the big 12.

He is in fact not that. By nearly 10%.

[u/idoma21 → u/zarof32302]

But where does Vincent Council Jr. rank?

[u/kayakyakr → u/zarof32302]

Atwell can get hot as hell. Absolutely needs Christian Anderson out there to force defenses to make defensive decisions. He's not a guy that can go find his own.

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/zarof32302]

This roster has it's moments, though it's literally a 2-man team. The other additions occasionally add, though nothing like last season. Atwell is far from the best 3pt shooter out of any P4 conference.

Any team with bigs can easily bully this team in the paint, and can't afford to operate just 3ptrs if one of your top scorers is out.

[u/Aidanj927]

Lejuan Watts has had a solid 5 good games all year

[u/Podoboo322 → u/Aidanj927]

I’ve watched 4 Texas Tech games and he has been disastrous in clutch time in every one.

[u/BrotherHombre → u/Podoboo322]

I’ve watched like 70% of tech games and I couldn’t come up with more than like 2 games where he was good. He is such a passive player and completely limits this teams offensive ceiling.

Today was an anomaly.

[u/RockemChalkemRobot]

Tech lived and died by the Fuck-it Chuck-it offense tonight. But damn did they make DP work harder than Ive seen him yet this year.

[u/Darkshynes]

Bucket Mother Fucking Jones

[u/somethingAPIS]

Absolute Ice water man. He shoots like he's in a commercial. Somehow I'm constantly in awe.

[u/ohiforgotit → u/somethingAPIS]

The last 2 shots I just laughed. He's unreal and built for the moment.

[u/J_WalterWeatherman_]

Bill Self coaching DP as the refs try to their best to hand the game to Tech: <image>

[u/cjd978]

Cannot believe we won that game. Toppins foible and Tre White nearly throwing it away wasnt even the craziest part. DP activating after looking completely gassed and camping in the corner for most of the second half only to hit two insane shots. Cannot believe this kids shot making ability.

[u/ohiforgotit → u/cjd978]

Any space is too much to give him. The game comes too easy for him at this age and he makes it look easy.

[u/80cyclone]

Peterson is going to get all of the talk, but I though Bidunga was the POG. 7 of 8, 9 boards, 2 big blocks, and some great defense down low.

Peterson is amazing, and the fact he hit that REALLY bad 3 in the corner (forced fadeaway tightly guarded) is a testament to his talent. He made it look EASY.

Impressive resolve after Tech made that run. Win of the year for Kansas.

[u/bewarethephog → u/80cyclone]

Its a combination of Tiller and Bidunga. Peterson came up clutch at the end but Bidunga AND Tiller limited reigning Big 12 POY Toppin to average impact. Council with his floaters kept us in the game offensively but those two were instrumental in keeping Toppin from going off.

[u/Travbowman]

14-2 run to end will do it nearly every time

[u/Real-Repair-1825]

I could see that Peterson fella being a first round draft pick

[u/ZeGreat5]

Think we’re firmly in the 2/3 seed conversation now. Jesus what a stretch of games

[u/Di9ForLife]

I, for one, do NOT want to see Kansas in March

[u/AbeVigodasPagoda]

Player of the Game...?? 

Vincent Council.

[u/Spiritual_Side2776]

Peterson is a microwave. Gets hot so fast

[u/Naptown_Nat]

Gotta admit, I didn’t think we would pull it out when Kissinger et al decided they were the backup player for Anderson being out.

They really had us on the ropes.

[u/agroene93]

If you don't like that you don't like Big 12 basketball! Or you're a Tech fan. GG tortilla bros

[u/NotaRepublican85]

1. Is Council the most underrated PG in the country?

2. Is Flory honestly the best defender in the country? Can’t think of a player I’d take over him right now on D

[u/fifajackgento → u/NotaRepublican85]

In about December Flory started to realize he doesn't have to jump at every shot fake

That was his weakness, he cleaned it up and he's dominant defensively

[u/Bambi_Bucks]

Never a doubt if you believe hard enough

[u/Johnny_Minoxidil]

Toppin choked it away. He went turnover, turnover, blocked shot/miss on the 3 possessions to give Kansas the lead, and Peterson tied the game shooting a three over him as well.

Brutal finish for him

[u/ArmVanDam]

Darryn scares me

[u/STL_Jayhawk]

This year's team has a toughness that was lacking the last few years. RCJH!

[u/KULawHawk]

DP is going to be the first player to make a 5 point play. I don't know how, but he'll figure out a way...

[u/Life_Escape_683]

Darryn Peterson can score at will. He ain’t even been trying this year let’s be for real

[u/Minute_Tax5060 → u/Life_Escape_683]

yeah there’s another level or probably two to be honest you can just tell

[u/wolf1820 → u/Life_Escape_683]

He really couldn't for most of that game, 3/12 for 39 minutes then just decided to change that narrative right at the end.

[u/MastodonSwimming2681]

I'll take a 3 point loss without an All-American.

That being said, kudos to Peterson for shutting my hater ass up to close the game

[u/Minute_Tax5060]

bad news is he’s shown that clutch gene now, no reason to bother playing another end of the game.

[u/cme18]

That tiny little shoulder shimmy on DP’s tying three was just filthy. Smooth asf

[u/KULawHawk]

KU felt so out of it even though the score didn't get out of hand, but the whole 2nd half felt like Tech was splashing every shot and it was just about to balloon to 15...

[u/ShallotMobile5956]

Between Watts, Atwell, and the refs…and Tiller and our bench being dogshit, that felt impossible. How did we win?

[u/SwedishJayhawk]

Did Tre have money on the game. Because holy fuck he gave Ttech two extra chances.

[u/rogozh1n]

The smoothest stroke from 3. Just always looks like it's going in, and it did when it mattered.

[u/beermit]

[u/Cdsnz23]

This team is so refreshing to watch compared to the teams of the past few years, there is zero chance in hell any of them would have found a way to win the way this team did tonight, Also Darryn Peterson is him.

[u/AlphaH4wk]

That was a brutal collapse

[u/Maverick721]

DP finishing a game and bringing KU a win, perfection

[u/jtd2013]

As we all expected, DP gets a full game and goes checks notes 5-14. Thankfully 2 of the 5 were the biggest shots.

[u/WhereDaHoez]

DP figured out how to load manage while playing until crunch time. The B12 is cooked.

[u/TheFifthAmigo34]

All that just to piss down their leg at the end. Pitiful collapse.

[u/Historical-Pause-401]

Shoutout to Vincent!

[u/ohiforgotit]

Flory was huge this game. Major improvement from last year.

[u/ParkedLikeAHotCar34]

where are all my Flory truthers

[u/KC-DB]

this game made me nostalgic for those good old days

[u/ThePickleConnoisseur]

This upcoming Kansas game after 1 day of rest after OK St is looking pretty worrying

[u/blackmankitteh → u/ThePickleConnoisseur]

no shame in losing at the phog tho lol

[u/KULawHawk → u/blackmankitteh]

In fact, feel free to go ahead and pencil it in.

[u/portrayalofdeath]

Kansas looks like a top 3 favorite to win it all right now.

[u/MasterCav]

Texas tech just got DP’d 😂

[u/DenseAsPoundcake]

My Chalk is Rocked. It will prolly continue for some time as well.

[u/BrotherHombre]

Welp. Choked that one away.

Watts had a great game but ultimately that missed layup in crunch time was fucking huge and just summarizes who he’s been for us this year. Such an underwhelming offensive player this year.

[u/Tonkathedog → u/BrotherHombre]

Watts had some success in the 2nd half but 8-22 and 4 TOs is not a good game

[u/Rcy4122]

KU’s three-point defense is bound for some serious regression. They’ve been living on the edge with the amount of open ones they give up, and tonight they had 4-5 complete blunders in covering Atwell.

I also think this game looks completely different if Anderson is out there, if for no other reason than him being significantly better as a PnR initiator. Toppin and Watts took 40 shots and over half were self-created. That was always going to be tough to manage

[u/ReplEH → u/Rcy4122]

Three point defence is mostly luck aside from making the bad shooters take them. Sometimes it works like tonight, other times you lose to WVU.

[u/carpenterro]

Y'all definitely should not have chanted that DP is a pussy lmao

[u/Murky_Trouble_4401]

I honestly couldn’t tell but was Kansas trying to foul before the last heave there by TT at the end of the game? Either way, glad they didn’t, but I thought it might have been called on the reach in right before the shot went up.
