Keys to beating Kansas

[JimHurley]

We CANNOT fall behind early. That won't work against a team as good as Kansas. If we play UConn basketball for 40 minutes, this game could be ours.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

That's it? You said keys.

 

[Connecticut]

Consistency. Can't have those offensive droughts.

 

[UCweCONN]

Having Charles Barkley pick Kansas? We know he's always right......

Thanks, Madden.

Keys to winning besides being the best at free throw shooting....Rebound, get more assist, no Shonn Miller foul troubles and better play from our other bigs!

 

[SoCalCanine]

Score more points than they do!!!

I'll add some substance. They seem to be more perimeter orientated and a jump shooting team. They're older and perry Ellis is really good. He can play inside or out. We cannot get scared and panic, have to come out confident. They have a big inside I forget his name who's pretty solid. Big body. Foul trouble and bad shots is what will kill us. They don't seem like the big big teams that Self has had in the past. If we come out with energy, confidence, and limit turnovers I think we can get the W

A major key is that they eliminate Austin Peay.

Yep having 4 pts at the 16 minute mark in the first half is getting a little old.

 

[Marat]

Definately need to rotate well on the perimeter and not leave their 3 point shooters wide open as they are good at hitting 3s

 

[huskyinfl]

I hope they let them play and no ticky tack fouls. Let them go at it in the post and get physical. We need to have solid 3 point shooting to open things up, no silly turnovers.

I think he is 0-7 in picks..

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Perry Ellis is a terrible match up for all of our bigs...miller might be able to hang if he can avoid touch fouls, which is a big if considering how good Ellis is.

I'm looking forward to the matchup of selden and purvis. You won't see 2 stronger guards going at it.

 

[BlueDogs]

All I know , if I'm Kansas I'm staining my underwear. UConn is the last team they want to play in week 1.

 

[huskyinfl]

That is why I hope they let them get physical on guard & post play. We had some nice steals & blocks that were "borderline" with the new way they call games. Let them play and earn it. Sometimes it is like pass interference in football - so biased against the defender.

They don't scare me. Which one is Ellis?

Well played. Now carry on my wayward son.

it's really not that kind of thread man.

 

[JSM1970]

I don't think Kansas is scared of anyone. They will be incredibly tough. Miller will have to handle Ellis and Gibbs/Adams slow down Mason and Graham.

We'll need to be 45% from 3 and hold them to under 30% from there.

I know. But every other thread has a bunch of comments so I wanted to get my input in quick.

And how often does that happen?

 

[Hankster]

I am thinking paying the maids a couple of bucks and lock them in their rooms.

 

[Jaker]

the arena will be packed with gayhawkers, will JA be scared?
