It was a very sloppy game by the Frogs guards. Several missed shots close to the rim and far too many turnovers. Lots of turnovers in the backcourt or around halfcourt that you just can't have. Some credit had to go to KU. They're long and athletic.
I didn't think we'd be able to win in Lawrence without Fisher. Regardless of how much he scores, you have to account for him defensively as soon as he crosses halfcourt and that opens up space and makes things easier for everyone. He also gives us another guy to pressure the ball defensively. We won't be able to make a deep run without him imo.
I know this board goes way over the top on game threads but it just never ceases to amaze me how little perspective so many of you have. There were some people talking like we were struggling against Tarleton, not Kansas in Lawrence. I know they just lost a game last week and they're not as good as they were last year but they don't suck either.
Lastly, the officiating was abysmal, particularly at the end, but the turnovers by TCU and lack of competent defense on Lawson were more abysmal throughout.
Robinson was really bad tonight. The length of KU really bothered him, he wasn't even looking to get into the lane by the end of it. Credit to the KU staff.
Thought JD waited too long to go back to Samuel in the mid-late 2nd half. Lawson was just feasting on Miller and JD refused to sub Samuel in until it was too late.
All in all, not a bad loss. Really weird game, we were horribly sloppy, and I would estimate that 5-8 loose balls in the very beginning and at the end did not go our way and that was the difference. Wish we tried different adjustments on Lawson rather than just accepting the whipping but whatever.
The biggest positives tonight undoubtedly were RJ Nembhard, Kevin Samuel, and Kendric Davis. RJ was hoopin tonight and kept going at them. Samuel will be an all time TCU great by the time he's done, he was unguardable tonight and Lawson had no answer. Love his game and wish he got the rock more. Davis was fearless and attacked constantly.
