Okay. I understand (although I don't really think we do a particularly good job of adjusting when other teams switch defense and stuff).

I like Noi. I'm throwing a fit but he gets up nice and calm and with a disbelieving grin on his face following that foul...I men block.
KW needs the ball in the post when smaller guys are on him.

Saw that but I don't need that capability. I need a credit card shredder.

Well, prior to the every game, the PA announcer lets us know that, among other things, transphobic comments won't be tolerated. I am just covering my bases to avoid trouble.

I don't speak fluent mad scientist but if I am understanding the context of your question correctly the answer is yes.

Once upon a time when I was calling college athletic events, a simple "Don't throw [ Finebaum ] on the court or field" would have sufficed.

Yes that should suffice. But it's quite a bit more involved now.

I think we need to play a sweet 16 team from the previous season in our non conference schedule to get our team adjusted for what’s coming in the B12. Baylor looked like they were playoff ready - drawing fouls and flopping. Be good to play a preconference game against a Duke, Kentucky, UCLA or somebody on that level so we’re more prepared for conference speed.
Where has our inside game gone? We finally started using it in the second half with success. Alex R hasn’t looked like he did last year - he needs to take it to the hole. He had 3 open runs to the hoop in the first half tonight and turned and dished it off when he should have completed the play / he finished with 2 points tonight - we need his production.
The B12 has a second gear this team didn’t see in Australia nor pre conference. Need to step it up.

1. Getting back on defense to prevent as many breakaway baskets as in the OU game. Although maybe some of this is based on how Kansas plays.
2. Robinson did a better job handling the ball and made a large number of quality passes to the big men. He did so well in fact it showed some room for improvement with our big men.
3. Improved free throw shooting %.
4. Team worked to get our big two (Williams and Brodziansky) the basketball with 5 minutes to go rather than just the last 2 minutes. When it got down to it, they didn't make enough plays with the looks they got otherwise we probably win tonight.

@UT is a must win. I hate saying this in early Jan but road wins at UT, ISU, KSU, and OSU are almost a necessity.

We are not a “great” team. Not sure there is a “great” team anywhere this year.

I disagree, which is why I'm so frustrated. We are VERY deep. We have two very good point guards, Bane is shooting lights out at the 2 position. The three position is led by KW who most agree is an NBA player. JD Miller is a complete athletic stud at the 4, and we have two good athletic centers, one of which can score 20 at will if he get's the touches. Even in this game, he didn't get enough touches, but scorched them late with a run of points and 100% FT shooting.
That is a very deep team that is top 10-15. If that's not great, then someone's expectations are a bit elevated. We just need to tweak this one thing and we're undefeated.

And you actually believe in two years our talent level is on par with a program that has been pulling in some of the best for decades? Come on, Jamie has done wonders in two years, but seriously...

Who are these "athletic" centers? Personally, I like the enthusiasm but I think your purple colored glasses are thick.

I think of a “great” team as one that making the Final Four should be a given (and if they don’t, it’s a massive disappointment)...that is NOT this team.
