I tune in late , Just in time to see Blake Preston miss another 2 uncontested footer from right underneath the rim

At 6’9” I just don’t see how that happens

Not to mention I don’t understand why these kids are constantly taking off the glass shots instead of just throwing it down

Positive note we are up by 10

We’re not scoring and they’re making 3s

But man do I like Chris Parker

Lead at halftime is down to 6

We are missing the easiest shots we are taking. Glad we got off to such a great start. The shots that Youngblood & Rodgers are making are tough shots. Our D looks fine but we need to finish.

Wrong.
They are focusing on stopping the 3, and as a result, we are dominating them in the paint. It would be foolish to force the issue.

So after we abused them in the paint for 30 minutes, we now are getting better looks from 3 and are lighting them up there too.

It’s almost like it should be a basketball fundamental or something

Dominant second half gives us a 76-47 win. I believe if we can overcome our slow starts in game one of these weekends, we may be able to run the table. It looks like we have a big advantage in depth and conditioning. We just flat out wore KSU down today.

76-47 (29 point win)

Much better game today. I believe someone predicted a 6-10 point win.
Wrong again. It's a habit I guess. I said I expected us to win by more than 6. We did. We may see more of these bigger winning margins in the second games for the reasons I gave in my earlier post. This format is a huge advantage to the teams that have depth like we do.

Our depth is no joke. We blew out a team by 30 today and our high scorer had 12 points.

Our defense clamped down on Rogers who had 31 points the night before. I think Rogers had 12 points on Saturday and might not have scored in the second half.
