GAME THREAD: GU v Kansas Fort Meyers - 11.26.20

[scrooner]

Hoping for up 6 at half.

[spike_jr]

Although the bad 3 point D may be an effort to protect Timme down low.

[bballbeachbum]

Self and the KU bench making a lot of calls for the refs down the stretch here

maybe, but giving up those looks with him on the bench, too

[Zags11]

Our 3pt defense is trash. Players go and we have top players.

It is few and will always be few.

Hoping for up 6 at half.

granted...up 7 with Suggs missing a lot of minutes

[jim77]

Dropping 54 on Ku in a half...still anybodys game.

[kitzbuel]

I have a feeling my 147 over/under might be off.

[spike_jr]

So you hit a bucket with 9 seconds left and then let them run the ball up the floor for another 3. A little token press maybe to slow up the ball and limit the shooting opportunity? WTF did they talk about in the time out?

[scrooner]

Yeah, better than I thought. We clearly lost momentum when he sat.

thought the exact same thing man

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

Ah, there's the negativity that we've so missed.

LOL, we scored 54 in the first half against fricking Kansas! We are scoring that much because of our pace of play.

It's like people are upset we aren't winning 54-14 or something.

[john montana]

We re pretty good, but going to take a few games to really come together. Feels like Few isn’t even sure what he has yet, reaching deep into the bench for spot minutes. We need to do better on the 3 point line defense as always, but offensively we can score, even against the grab and hold defense of ku.

Realistically we seem really strong with our top 6. Ballo, cook to get to 8, then who knows.

[scrooner]

The complaint is that their 3s are so undefended they may as well set up a ball rack out there.

[gmo]

who's this clown who keeps calling him Krispert?

[jazzdelmar]

Red flag. 68% FG is unsustainable....

[jazzdelmar]

Exactly. Like a scrimmage

[gmo]

not complaining just the facts... letting good teams get wide open three's is a recipe for disaster. Especially in March. Obviously something this team will have to work on.

Not a masterclass from Few yet.

No people are upset we let teams stay in games by 3 pointers. The offense looks amazing.

It was a very impressive first half on offense. We gave up 46 points on 54% shooting. We shot 67% (and only up 8). I don't think we will shoot that in the second half. They will make adjustments, and if we don't make changes, we lose. Need to play better D

[scrooner]

Unlikely their big only scores 2 in the second half. That said, some of our guys are underperforming and will do better 2nd half too.

They won't shoot like that either.
The difference is we made a ton more in the paint.

[krozman]

Our defense is clearly behind theirs, and so if we cool down this is anyone's game. That's the worry obviously.

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

They made a bunch of contested 3s.
We made a ton more shots in the paint. I like our chances to continue hitting those more than theirs.

Just relax, it's HARD to put 54 up against that Kansas D, and we are carving it up like Swiss Cheese.
