It’s hard to find anything to complain about with this undefeated team, but I’ll take a couple shots.

1) CBF sent fan favorite Kelsey Joens packing to clear the decks for Kenzie Hare, who has justified the decision by playing well, shooting > 50% from 3PT and overall. She’s only averaging 7 PPG. We need to find more shots for Kenzie Hare.

2) CBF recruited the SoCon POY from the portal and she’s barely seeing the court. She’s shooting poorly, but other stats are there in limited minutes. We need to get Paulk to 20 mpg - I’d give her the additional time from Syd Harris. JMHO.
 
Go State. Kansas seems like a team that can go up and bite a typically better team.

As Addy said we got to take that hope away.

It seems to play in Bill’s system she has to score at times. In the Iowa game her defender sagged off her nearly to the paint because she’s not a scoring threat it seems.

Hare doesn't need to average more that 7ppg. Just be in position to hit a corner 3 2 or 3 times a game.

Where are the minutes coming from for Paulk? Seems like she's the backup backup guard behind Beaty.

I get you're trying to nitpick for conversation. Here's mine. They need to be way better at the team rebounding roles. How many times per game does Audi clear out the rebounding lane only for 2 or 3 Cyclones to watch the ball bounce once before someone grabs it. Everyone know their role and execute better

If I were to guess, her injury has played a part with Paulk.

ISU 77
KU 66
 
Beaty headed to a medical redshirt?
In the original tweet it said they were looking to after Christmas. So I suppose we’ll know if she’s out for the season at Houston
 
Hey, what was the rank site, something like Warren Nolan but not that guy, that someone has posted spreads/predictions from in some of the threads?

No betting odds that I can see for the game. I don't bet, just interested in what those outside of our fan base are predicting.

The food there is really bad and the portions are so small!
 
Since Jayhawks only talk MBB I've hadn't heard boo about whether their star freshman Jaliya Davis will be back. She only played three games before being out with whatever is keeping her off the court.

Did search and found this:

That's sad for Kansas, because in those three games she scored 53 points.
