It's possible I heard wrong, but I thought they said that he was doing the Kansas game. I'm not sure if he's doing other schools instead of just ours or what.
Allow me to clarify, our guys are chucking up some bad shots, with the talent we have and a disciplined plan, I think we can play a lot better than we are, that would include rebounding better, guys not playing out of their role (Dendy dribble driving on the wing?, Gilstrap forcing breaks where he doesn't have the numbers, I could go on) Not trying to be negative, but the talent is there to play with anyone if they can play together and be disciplined. Go Cyclones
Our team is very talented...but it's time to grow a pair and get tough...box the **** out and get a stinking rebound. How many boards does Craig Brackins have? What is he doing when a shot goes up? GET TOUGH GUYS!!! IF YOU DO, YOU ARE CAPABLE OF WINNING THIS GAME!
Were going to have to.. do a lot of things in the 2nd half to do this. And we all know what they are. Lets rebound..maybe Brackins can have a decent 2nd half. Knock down a few threes.. limit the turnovers. Simple as that
If I don't see CB get a good post pass from guards I will go crazy. They keep fronting him, and we haven't even attempted a hi-lo.
Or please CB, if you can't hold your position when they are pushing you, then make eye contact with your guard, spin back towards the hoop, and get a lob pass.
Just once.

Totally agree. If nothing comes out of this but realizing and learning what effort and focus is needed to play with a top 10 team (besides the first 3 minutes that lacked effort and focus), we should be able to accumulate a lot of wins this year. If they can learn to play this way every game... we 10-11 games in the big 12 and make the dance. Thus I digress that having a successful season doesn't mean we have to beat Duke, TX, or KU, but we need to play all the other teams the same way we play these high profile game... and we'll be a Top 25 team.

Long story short, Brackins needs to quit trying to block so many shots, and rebound so he doesn't pick up bad fouls

Is ESPN over-dramatic much? If ku actually loses this game, it means absolutely nothing. Get over it...
