He's a great judge of talent and sound decision-maker, so you have that going for you.

for those of you who can't watch this game, consider yourselves lucky. this is some ugly ball. there's always the second half though.

this team is one crazy turnover machine. as the non-conference is nearing an end, i fear this will not get fixed in time. unfortunately it appears (though i have not seen every game) that the turnovers aren't usually because of great defense, but because of dumb plays and lazy passes. hate to see what happens when we face some real competition.

hopefully this team comes around like the did last season. we weren't looking so hot early in the season last year either as i recall.

Came here just for the meltdown....was not disappointed.

When I heard the crowd at the beginning, I thought we might be in for a battle. Kc put up a great effort that half, they probably cool off and we win comfortably.

This team reminds of Scott Drew's Baylor's teams. Very talented plays really well when they want to and lay many eggs. Hopefully we get things straightened out but were pretty far along in te season for major change.

Except the very talented part.

Wow. If Fred doesn't get these guys motivated any better than this, it simply will be a long long season ahead.

For the life of me, I don't understand why Ejim got benched a few games ago and Clyburn hasn't been. Clyburn has been extremely disappointing. He's way too inconsistent to count on. His laziness is what got UMKC back in the game.

Start playing Naz if korie keeps turning the ball over. Kid is terrible for us right now. 4 turnovers against KU in the first half is one thing. Against umkc is horrible.

At this point the ONLY reason Clyburn plays is for his rebounding. That's it. Period.

Korie can at least bring the ball up the court (sometimes) and make threes (sometimes)...

Tyrus, Babb, Ejim, Niang, and Booker are the ones that came to play tonight and I wish we'd start that lineup in the second half with Tyrus running the point. He doesn't have to always have the ball in the halfcourt... He just needs to bring it up and pass it off to someone then he's back into his usual role of coming off screens looking to shoot.

I don't know why we don't get Nazareth more of a shot. Sure he doesn't have the shot or quickness of KL but in the limited time I've seen him play, he doesn't turn the ball over.

Does anyone think KL is a team player? I think he is lazy on defense and selfish on offense.

Watch every team we play in the big 12, kl is one of the best on-ball defenders you will see.
