Great bounce back game from Lipsey. Was a star stuffer today and balled out on defen se.

Only complaints were some lazy passes, something that's been problematic of late. His skip passes and one handers have been insanely high. He's also being nonchalant with some passes once his dribble is thwarted; some are telegraphed and can be easily jumped. He had 2 passes that were almost picked off and another that was high which was saved.

Most of his TOs aren't forced. He really needs to reign that in.

Other than that, no complaints. His defense, entry passing, and rim abilities were fantastic. He also showed he can put a really, really bad game (half) behind him.

The only way they start falling is if he keeps shooting them IN THE OFF SEASON, RIGHT NOW ITS A BAD SHOT. He needs to make a couple so defenses stop playing off him.

FIFY, i certainly think there is a time and place to take them so it doesn’t hurt us in the game. Such as with a big lead or early in the game.

Really odd box score. We shot marginally better from 3 and the field, shot worse from the line with half of the attempts, had marginally more fouls, had the same amount of rebounds, did not record a block, etc. Really just comes down to them having twice the turnovers and us succeeding in the paint. Cool with me!

Don't forget second chance points.

Do we get to hear from Jereseib today? Glad he cancelled his trip to Manhattan. Are the Cyclones and TJ still an embarrassment today?

The same reason why Osun was dominating and taken out at the 16:30 mark.

Our staff has no concept of "flow of the game". One of KUs weaknesses, against us, is guarding the post. Osun was unstoppable yet was taken out as if on a script. Then King comes in and is taken out when dominating

Instead of making it EASIER for opponents to come back maybe the staff should focus on making it harder. Makes no sense.
If you watch Odin, he plays hard, gets tired, and asks for a blow. They also work hard to manage his fouls.

Just a great win coming off giving a game away on the road. Team showed a lot of hustle, desire and guts, would have been easy to rollover for KU, instead we came out focused and took it to the chickenhawks from the start. Having Jaz back added more depth to the bench.
