Get your fix! Pitt State @ KU: 8pm on ESPN3
- Thread starter Bewilderme
- Start date
Good call. I can watch pretty much anything at this point in the season. Interested to see Mason playing off the ball. He seems like a guy that is better with the ball in his hands. KU really is stacked this season.
Over who? Self isn't one who doesn't start a true center, so Hunter likely won't go to the bench. Ellis isn't going to move to the 3 or to the bench. If Diallo is eligible Kansas has a serious log jam at the 4.
how'd they look? all i hear is how stacked this team is? I mean wayne seldon has repeatedly underachieved so i don't know why they expect it to be his breakout year?
Looks like Seldon can only shoot vs. ISU at home and Mykhailiuk is still terrible, so that's nice to see.
I can't remember the pre-season magazine that had one/both of these two ahead of Mason on their best players in the nation list, but that still makes me laugh.

They looked typical Kansas at this time of year which was very ugly. Pitt State outplayed them for much of the game, but simply had no talent. If it was Iowa State playing the way Kansas did, there would be an epic meltdown here.
They looked like a team playing an exhibition game against a scrappy, inferior in-state team. Ellis and Bragg were great. Mason and Graham were dependable. Mickelson showed that his improvement at the World University Games was no fluke. Svi was bad. Lucas was worse. Greene was still recovering from hip surgery and was below average. Selden was bored and looked like a guy not interested in pushing an injured ankle until the games matter. Solid but unspectacular, as should be expected from an exhibition game. They piddled around for most of the first half then went from a 2 point lead to a 16 point lead in the last few minutes of the first half and then cruised the second half.
Self will start his two best forwards whether one is a true center or not. They have had some seasons where they had a true center as one of those guys (Embiid, Withey, Aldrich) and some where they haven't (Lucas/Cliff/Traylor, Markieff Morris, etc...) If Bragg or Diallo are playing well enough on defense then they will start next to Ellis in the front court. Bragg is going to be MUCH better than most KU fans thought he would be this year. If Diallo isn't able to play then I feel like Bragg and Mickelson will be able to play at a high enough level that KU won't miss a beat. Diallo is basically a really good cherry on top at this point.
Yep. Apparently it's more important to the ncaa to nitpick the details of classes a 14 year old kid took while living in Africa to determine if he's eligible to play college sports than it is to do anything about thousands of Carolina athletes over the course of more than a decade taking completely fraudulent college courses to stay eligible to play college sports. Makes sense to me. What a joke.
