Marquette/Kansas

This should mean we get Kansas's full attention. They will tough to beat at home. Which, win or lose, should be helpful later in the season.
 
Kansas got outplayed all over the court. This will help them get better. Marquette contesting every pass is not a style you see often (even in the Big East). The last teams I recall playing that way regularly were the UConn Dream Team, Nolan Richardson Arkansas and some of Pitino's squads at Louisville. It's physically hard to do and high risk. KU lacks shooters and even then had a bad night, especially from the FT line. Timberlake not being at least Joey C level is hurting them. I also think playing a slow, easy Chaminade team the day before did not help.

Marquette looks phenomenal, but I'm curious to see what Painter does against that pressure. A few fake passes and backdoor cuts and you can force Marquette to back off a bit. Preparation and execution will be key. They will be tough for us, but we are a much worse matchup for them than KU is once we get Castle back.

If Hurley ever left I’d want Shaka in a heartbeat. Not that any of this will happen or happen anytime soon. But Shaka is an incredible coach and hard not to root for.

Anthony Grant from Dayton is the guy I would want. Hope Dan Hurley stays until his full retirement age

I'm impressed with Marquette. KU not used to intense in your face Big East D. The Jayhawks seemed to have lost their composure and kept on taking quick shots and cheating too much on D.

Neither team shot the ball well in the latter part of second half, though KU sucked more so.

I think both teams will be near the top come March, but KU has work to do improving their execution, shooting, defending and decision making. Hum... I think they're better than what they showed tonight. Definitely not #1 worthy at this point in the season.

Kinda hoped KU had another big east game before ours to really get in their heads how we do it up here.

No. UConn Tampered with spencer and committed to UConn before he even hit the portal.

A little lack of awareness....lol. Kansas with Self has broken more recruiting rules than anyone. If Dan Hurley "tampered" :rolleyes: good for him....you can be sure whatever Dan Hurley did (or didn't do) pales in comparison to the stench level of Self.
 
What a game to watch. Kansas got out played and out coached in every facet of the game. Smart is an excellent coach. His players are disciplined and basketball smart.

Kansas is not as good a team as we have been led to believe. They can't handle a pressure defense. Their defense is poor at best. They get frustrated easily.

When we play them in Kansas it will be a battle. This will be Hurley type game. Going to run, pressure the ball, crash the boards and claw and scrap for every loose ball. I would not sell us short on this one.

I mean, it's absolutely silly in that we really, really wanted Timberlake. Did we talk to Cam before he hit the Portal? My guess: Yes. I don't think he even leaves Rutgers otherwise. So maybe true, but highly misleading.

Marquette looked really good, a smaller/quicker version of our team. It’s going to be a battle playing them.

Their big guy is a slightly smaller version of adama.

World’s smallest violin. Laughing at this post. What is even better is that just say Timberlake had chosen UConn. IMO he would be having a better year. Kansas is a collection of players, but we found out last night for at least right now they do not play team offense or defense. But Marquette is really good so that was a contributing factor. I was interested that this is even on their radar. Don’t think it was until this week. They just thought they had the world beat with Hunter….
 
Marquette looked good, will definitely be tough games against then. Kansas is #1? They looked soft, Dickinson stood around and just didn’t look strong - if Clingan is 100% I like that matchup. We can definitely beat them home turf or no.

Thank you God for Cam Spencer instead of Timberlake.

Seriously - when I actually saw him play, my jaw nearly hit the floor. He’s lucky Hurley even spoke to him. He’s barely made a shot. Spencer is 10x the player.

Also curious about Purdue, because I think Ighodaro may be too quick for Edey, whereas Gold could stretch the floor and burn him out on the perimeter… just one facet though

Guys didn't seem to care to play defense (especially Hunter Dickinson who just sort of stood around in the paint with his hands at his side all night).

His defensive effort was downright embarrassing last night. Wild that a dude whose biggest question mark at the next level is on defense just doesn’t seem to care about it at all.

Which, by the way, is exactly the problem we face. Clingan couldn't handle Gold last year.

I'm more interested in the steals. Purdue is going to be ready for the overplay on the passing lanes, and that aggressiveness does open lanes to the rim. It's a risky, gambling defense.

Bullies don’t like getting bullied. Love watching Self in the second half. His team made a few runs but you could tell pretty early in the second half how the game was going to play out and you could see that Self came to that conclusion as well.
Expand ...
Yeah, gotta love his meltdown when he realizes resistance was futile
 
Nick T would’ve been a better player here more than likely but not close to the overall impact Cam has and will continue to have. Luck is a wonderful thing at times.

One of the all time great movie lines was from The Sting when after losing a big poker hand that he had fixed in his favor, Robert Shaw said " What was I supposed to do, accuse him of cheating better than me?".

Kansas has recruited on the wrong side of the rules for so long that their fan base assumes that anyone with any success is also cheating and, those who have been more successful must be cheating better than they are.

The irony here was that Timberlake was very likely headed here until Kansas out bid us for his services and that is what opened the door for Spencer.

Shaka is a damned good coach who made a horrible decision going to a football state. Fun game to watch

He had other choices including one very close to our hearts:cool::rolleyes:

Hahaha. Thanks for sharing. So much sour grapes and their big bag of cash for Timberlake was a waste. What infuriates me about Kansas and Duke is that they believe if they want a player, it’s a done deal. So entitled. Maybe they need to understand is everyone doesn’t aspire to go to those schools.

Most kids lknow where they are going before they hit the portal. I assume Spencer picked uconn. It was no secret uconn needed a shooter
