He has one good sequence and has otherwise been picked on.
Teams are doing so on both ends.

Teams are doing so on both ends.
Kansas will make a run in the second half. Just gotta keep pressure on the shooters to make sure it isn't a 3 point barrage that sparks the run. Actually a bit surprised ISU is -7.5 at the half.
This. This team does best when it can physically wear the other team down. That is what has hurt most with Grill and Kunc missing some time. What TJ does so well is have the right people fresh for the last 4 min of each half.
Misquoted and taken out of context. I said "flow of the game" as in sticking with a hot hand (King) or pulling someone who is unusually struggling (Lipsey against Tech). Then there is Jones who doesn't fit into the flow of the game at all, yet gets 15 to 20 wasted minutes a game.
Otz has done great things but that doesn't mean he's absolved from boneheaded mistakes and/or doesn't have his faults.
I'm sure Jamie is anxiously awaiting your resume to take over for TJ.
True. Self needs to be T’d up sometime,dang it!Gotta say it....seems the refs didn't get the memo that KU gets all the calls. The rim swing at the end was their chance to stick it to us....but didn't!
Ok, I'll put it in context - National Coach of the Year candidate doesn't understand how to manage the flow of the game well. That is why his team is fighting for a conference championship and leads a potential #1 seed at the half by double digits. He is completely overvaluing keeping players fresh and working different combinations during the game so he can know what to go to at the end.
If only he would retain you as a consultant so you could call out his blindspots and keep him from doing bonehead things on nationwide TV. Then we would have to live through the embarrassment of this game.
We definitely play a rotation, NBA-style. We do the same thing every game and we don't try to hide that. That consistency helps us most of the time, and occasionally our rigidity hurts us. I do not think it has in this game and I'm confused what the conflict is about. Go Cyclones!
Dude, he is not good and hasn’t been during Big 12 play. One good sequence doesn’t absolve him of being a complete liability on offense and a minor liability on defense. He runs around like a chicken with his head cut off and sets solid screens. Any criticism he is getting, is earned by his play.
He'll get one, but we won't like it. They'll get every single call after he gets it, as is tradition.
And we held them to that while our coach was making bonehead decisions!
Jones was +1 in the first half, I’d take that again in the second.
Dude. He isn't flashy and sexy but it sucks a lot of energy out of the other teams post players, can play perimeter D much better than our other big guys and he give us valuable minutes to keep O and King fresh.
Just because he doesn't give you a hard on doesn't mean he isn't an important part of this team.
