The ACC and the B12 could use some help.

Some sloppy ball in Kansas game. Still down by 6

Kansas can't rebound in this zone

 

[HuskyHawk]

KJ Adams is the worst rebounder I’ve ever seen for a guy his size, strength and leaping ability. He should be Rodman like and instead he’s terrible on the boards.

Didn't Dickinson play against Thabeet???

It was against Toby Kimball.

Kevin Willard airs concerns about Maryland, says Damon Evans ‘probably’ leaving

Ouch. The Terrapins men’s basketball coach offered a startlingly candid appraisal of the program the day before its NCAA tournament opener... With his name surfacing among potential candidates for Villanova’s coaching vacancy, Willard also said he would require upgrades to Maryland’s financial commitment to men’s basketball.

The AD is leaving a B1G school for an ACC school?

We should be able to play a similar zone as Kansas.

 

[HuskyHawk]

We’ve got a game again. Putting Budinga in has solved the rebounding and Harris is being more aggressive

 

[Vowelguy]

Has Arkansas never played against a zone? They seem clueless.

 

[mauconnfan]

Arkansas looks like they’ve never seen a zone.

Also shows you why you should have zone in your defensive bag of tricks

Yale trying to hang in this game with aTm - lead has been around 10 for some time. Now single digits.

Drake up on Mizzou - go Drake! Love the Drake!

Back in the day I have to say Drake made goods snack cakes that rival Hostess

 

[SaeHusky]

Kansas had barely played zone all year. Self realized they couldn’t guard the ball. Great move. Next year I hope we use zones against teams with poor 3 point shooting

Now 6. Go Bulldogs

We can play this zone that Kansas is playing. There's nothing special about it. It looks a lot better when the other team accommodates it by playing catch on the perimeter and launching threes.

So much of this.
Mcneese pretty much won their game today with shifting zones, and Kansas's 2-3 is giving Arkansas fits.

Looked like Adams was reaching for his Achilles

Looked like Adams was reaching for his Achilles

Yeah the whole thing looked like that. From the moment he went down.

 

[HCCForever]

what was that by Hunter? Terrible pass

I know we can.

And we should have multiple times this year. We still can.

 

[Revrat]

Kansas now in WTF mode

 

[aceboon]

Looked like the air went out of Kansas when Adams went down

 

[HuskyHawk]

So many dumb passes
