Maybe not this strong, but with the coaches in this conference the Big 12 will always be strong imo. Particularly when TT and TCU have guys like Beard and Dixon.Next year is going to be amazing. Any idea on how strong the BIG 12 will be next year. Hope it is not this strong.

Lecomte just went for 30 on 7-12 from 3. Yes he missed some open looks against us but it shows Lindell did a very nice job holding him to 9 points on 2-12 shooting. (0-7 from 3)
Absolutely has the quickness and strength to be an elite defender. All mindset, want to, and experience now. Will be hard to take that lock down defender spot from Babb. I'd say he is already nearing elite on that end. Shayok coming over from Virginia as well they know how to play D over there. Could be best defense perimeter we've had in years.
Part of missing open jumpers is rushing things when you have been pestered all game.
Can we have one year were we are really strong and the rest of the league is the BIG 10
Which is what I'm afraid will happen more to LW's offense as teams focus more on him now.
I thought it was great when I saw they had him on Lecomte and he was handling him. That frees Babb to use his size on an opponent with size. If Babb had to defend Manu Wiggi would have had to defend someone with significantly more size creating a mismatch.Absolutely has the quickness and strength to be an elite defender.

His defensive intensity was very apparent against Baylor. And effective too.
Definitely. I don't know if it effects college players as much but I know from my playing days as a shooter that after taking tough shots and missing, you get frustrated and when you finally get an open look you feel like you have to capitalize on it and you usually miss because you're thinking about it too much. Now a college player is probably mentally stronger than I was but still.Part of missing open jumpers is rushing things when you have been pestered all game.
Anybody remember who was on Mykhailiuk (especially in the first half in Lawrence) and who was on Newman (in the second half for him) for the KU game?

Those two torched us. For that matter, who was on Graham? NWB?
KU is good, so they are going to get theirs on some level, but I would be curious who gave up 6/9 from three and 23 from Mykhailiuk and 27 from Newman that night.
Slow those two down just a little bit more and we win.
