Will be interesting to see what Prohm will do if KU starts killing them in the paint with Lawson and Azubuike. I am guessing THT starts out on Lawson. And I am guessing they follow the gameplan that OU had which was to collapse hard on Azubuike when he gets the ball and make him pass it out. Make them beat you from 3 as they have struggled from 3 except for Vick.
Im worried how we are going to contain Lawson and Azubuike inside. Lard is going to be picking up fouls at an alarming rate, Jacobson wont provide much resistance either. Solomon could hold his own but Im worried about him being in game shape to play alot of minutes.
I don't know if CSP will do it......I would just try and run KU off the floor when Azubuike is in the game. He is still coming off an injury and the guy was sucking wind against OU. Do that enough and make Self either slow things down or take him out of the game. Then again.....there is probably a reason I am not a coach.
Should probably just forfeit.
Bolded is what every single solitary team that KU plays has as a concern.
We didn't have the student sections as they are now back in these days, and that never stopped us...
hack-ubuikeHack-a-doke is how you deal with Azubuike (good thing we've got 12 guys who can contribute)... Lawson is actually good from FT, though.
Young will be the main guy on Azubuike like always. He is the only guy with the strength to match him. Jacobson will have to put on his hard hat and work a full shift guarding him.Im worried how we are going to contain Lawson and Azubuike inside.

If I were Self I would try to speed ISU up...they got hurried a bit last night and disjointed.
I would agree with this. When ISU was at their best in that game they were going fast as well. They struggled when the ball stuck rather than when they played fast.I wouldn't say that Okie State hurried us at all. Sure, we shot some questionable early shots but that had more to do with us not working the offense.
I would prefer to see some ADIDA$ signs and brutal chants from the crowd.
Remember the Big 8 days (Steve Stipanovich and the gun) - opposing players would catch a lot of flack.
Well if he does that, then more than likely Azubuike is not in the game. And I think our chances only increase with that option.If I were Self I would try to speed ISU up...they got hurried a bit last night and disjointed.
I’ve heard Prohm’s already got Lard on this one.Hack-a-doke is how you deal with Azubuike
