Our 3 point shooting is not as efficient this year but it does not have to be. Last year we had like only 3 scoring options on a semi regular basis.
1. White takes it to the rack
2. White gets to the paint can't get a look hope there is a kick out three
3. White gets to the paint can't get a look no kick out hope Percy or Melvin is open
Now that worked because White was pretty darn dominant at times but this years offense is way more multi dimentional. I think if they were to cut down on a couple (5%) of those 3 pt looks they might increase scoring efficiency and ppg.

Im hoping balance will help us, if not its going to suck not having that go to guy power it over them.
Kansas is beatable, but then again, so are we. I'll feel better when they come to our cathedral, but that dumpy old gym in Larry is a tough place for anybody to win.
Odds are they will be two people drooling all over Kansas, no matter how our boys are playing.
I would love to see the huge upset tonight, but at the very least, I just hope ISU plays well.

Guy lives in the past. In a few years he'll probably say something dumb like Will Clyburn and Korie Lucious not walking through that door.
Doubt that. Stinson and Tinsley were very dynamic players for us. Lucious isnt going to be as good as either from what I can tell so far and Clyburn is still up in the air. Stinson and Tinsley could absolutely take over a game when they needed to.
Will can be the guy but it is tough for a wing player to dominate because they get fewer touches. The two listed were some of the most physical point guards I can remember. When a guard can regualrly penitrate the lane it breaks down every defense one can muster. ISU was able to have similar success with White last season because of his ability to get into the lane and make the defense breakdown. Tonight ISU is going to need one heck of a shooting performance to pull this off or KU needs to go ice cold.
