Let's face it. We're a better team when the shots fall. But when they don't, we're going to struggle. Thus the close conference wins, even in Hilton. And the losses vs. Maryland, SCar, and Tech when we didn't shoot well. (among other things). As for the lineup.....while watching the Baylor game the announcers kept talking about Chery and Medford, and how much better it is to have two guys like that on the floor vs. the pressure all on one. Likewise, another mention was how the freshmen Graham playing along with Mason today was much more effective , especially defensively for KU vs. Texas today. It really got me thinking. We finished so well last year, imo, because we had that with both Kane and Monte. That's why Fred couldn't help but start Monte. The two of them made us so much better. IMO, we're having to count alot on Monte for so much. BDJ, Naz, and Matt just haven't "consistently" provided that same combo this year. While each have had key roles and big games, I don't think they're the rock solid ballhandlers and defenders we can consistently count on which only magnifies when they're not making threes. I do think, CFH, thought BDJ would be the answer and maybe he still will, idk. Not sure starting McKay and putting our main three bigs out there to defend right away will solve much, but who knows.
