Frogs vs. Rock Chalk

[Skip Jansen]

Preposterous. He thinks we average 13 TOs a game? Pffft, what an idiot. Pretty sure we only get, like, one or two 60 second timeouts per quarter. I bet he doesn’t even know how many points we get per each successful goal unit basket.

LOL!

I’ll never stay awake for this. Dang it.

But Go Frogs!

 

[Skip Jansen]

Do we still run our usual "dribble out the shot clock and then force up a bad shot" offense?

If so, I think we'd be better off trying to push the ball and get some easy buckets. Like Skip said, don't give KU time to get into their defense.

Obviously minimizing turnovers and hitting free throws like we did in the KState game are important. But I think getting easy buckets is the key. You can't get away with forcing bad shots against teams like Kansas because they're going to run the other way and score on you. So if we're taking bad shots then transition D is important too. If they get alot of easy buckets then we're in trouble. And let's not forget that they're going to be in a bad mood with a point to prove because of the ass kicking Texas gave them.

Those are all great points bmoney. I'm glad you brought it up from the perspective of the Frogs defense.

Self does a great job offensively of putting the opposing defense in a bind. Their offense is almost entirely predicated on creating mismatches, whether it's with 'dribble handoffs' or 'duck-ins' off of ball screen action. They are basically begging the opponent to switch everything.

The problem is, they shoot the 3 well enough where you almost have to switch any perimeter stuff. Plus, they offensive rebound so well that if you do switch, they will find and attack the mismatch right away, especially if you have switched a small to a big or a big to a small.

They make you pick your poison. It's why they are always difficult to defend.

Any word on Garrett? If he doesn’t play they will be weaker on defense.
Let’s Go Frogs!

I haven't heard. I'm assuming he is playing.
But yes, you are correct. It would dramatically affect their defense.

Security with nothing to do. Tell students they can put their feet on the backs of the chairs in front of them.

Why are we in purple? I thought the home team wore white.

I'm looking for Maniac. Of course, since he's wearing his mask, he will be hard to identify!

 

[QuilterFrawg]

That was weird. Kansas player just made a basket for us. Lol.

 

[LVH]

Our lane defense sucks without Kevin Samuels

 

[berryfrog95]

Garrett is out.

down by 6, frustrating bc we’ve had 3 loose ball chances and each time KU gets it and then converts for points, difference in the game so far.

Maybe dumb, but how do you score that?

 

[PurpleBlood87]

RJ just passed the ball on the offensive end when there was more than 15 seconds on the shot clock.

Seems like each time we get our hands on the ball on defense and force a deflection it deflects right into the KU player's hands standing right under the basket in prime position to either make a layup or draw an easy foul

I was wondering that too.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

RJ two point tip shot.

Is there any reason whatsoever Fran and Mark are not actually calling the game courtisde? This is ridiculous
