Kansas Open Thread
Posted by The General on February 8th, 2010 under Basketball
If we can stop Luke Axtell, we might have a chance.
By the way, Gary Johnson to get the start over Justin Mason per Craig Way on the pregame.

I could not agree more about the subject. You have to make the pass go somewhere else than the offense wants. If you can’t stop that, you have to change the angle of the pass. Anything to throw them off.
I said after Laettner’s shot and pretty much ever since, that guarding the inbounder should be

Good win for Nova if they can hold on. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t stand Big East basketball, even if they have 4 teams in the top 10.

Since tip isn’t quite ready. I’m going to live blog the JBPH. I’ve never seen this show but I understand the premise is each show represents one hour of the day. Seems like it would be a real boring 8 week stretch when he’s getting some shut eye. What would constitute a good episode during this stretch? He gets up to take a leak?
He just capped a fool in the chest. We could use him on our team. Good accuracy from close range is one thing we’re definitely missing.

Right, I get that…I was more specifically responding to the reasoning you attributed to Barnes. Obviously, if freeing things up for Dex and surrounding him with shooters was the goal, Hamilton would be starting. But his help defense deficiencies make Blake Gideon look like Darren Woodson in run support.

Hubert Davis reads Barking Carnival, apparently.
Holy Cow said:
February 8th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Don’t fool yourself RS, Self would love to have talent like James, Bradley, Hamilton, Brown, Balbay, and Johnson. He could turn Chapman and Pittman into great 15-20 minute backups. This team is loaded with talent. Barnes is doing a shitty job coaching.
jinx said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
our offense sucks swollen donkey balls. I mean what the fuck do we call that stand around and look at each other bullshit. Barnes fucking sucks as a coach apparently. This team is ten times worse than they were to start the season.

‘Kissing Jessica Stein’ is on IFC.

Hubert Davis is alright, but he intentionally avoids any commentary on defense.
Vasherized said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
It was easer to digest our offensive incompetency with less talented teams.
When a squad full of future NBA players looks like humping dingos, furniture gets broken. And I’m sending Barnes the fucking bill.
jinx said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Does Barnes even look at who he is putting in and when? It seems like he randomly points at someone on the bench. I’m surprised that Paulino hasn’t taken the floor at this rate.
texoz said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
We held KU to 34 in the first half, which isn’t too shabby.
However, that’s wasted because halfway through the season we still have no f’ing clue what to do on offense

UT -2 second half….

Damian James is a really special player. T.J. Ford-ish?
blackscholes said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
KU is simply a much, much better-coached team. I can appreciate some of their sets and plays, no matter how painful the result. Our offensive end looks like open rec play at Gregory.
Barnes’ comments re Johnson over Mason are just hard to hear this late into the season. “Bleeding for the program”? That’s bullshit – you owe your allegiance to your employer, your customers and your team – not a kid who is clearly overmatched and is able to contribute little.
This might be the season we collectively begin to envision a future without Rick Barnes. Kind of shitty I know, but Barnes has to live by the same principle he should have applied re Mason months ago.
texoz said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Wait, that means UT is favored to win the game by 2, or just score 2 points in the second half?
Steve Nebraska said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
“However, that’s wasted because halfway through the season we still have no f’ing clue what to do on offense”
I’m pressed to think of a time that we’ve ever had a clue what to do on offense sans a transcendent point guard or Kevin Durant.
NY Horn said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Matt Hall and Jai Lucas combine for 43 in the second half as we cruise to victory. 78-53
Trips Right said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
texoz, yep, forced some empty possessions with a zone and even played pretty well off the ball in our m2m, actually, if we rebound a litte better we’re probaby only down 4-6.
On another note, it’s amazing how easy Villanova scores the ball. They scored at will tonight against a pretty good WVA team.
uthookem said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Collins has traveled three times that I saw.
Holding Aldrich to two free throws is nice, and disappointing that we are still down ten.
Anyone else waiting for J’Covan to j’deck somone?
sunset87 said:

JCB is totally out of control almost every time he drives. Why does he think he needs to leave his feet and give himself no options but to throw some wild ass junk up. He can’t get away with that any more… this isn’t high school.

We’re all masochists for watching UT basketball.

i wodner if I should taxe Texas -2 in the second half or just ride my Kansas winnings. The perfect mental hedge was KU -1. If we lose I will have more cash, if we win I won’t care and i cannot be middled.
And just as a test im furious we are going to lose so I can still bet against us without guilt.
NY Horn said:

JCB’s version of a layup is just chucking the ball at the rim while falling down over 3 guys in front of him in the lane.

I’m good with Barnes stepping down tomorrow at this point. I got my hopes too high for this team admittedly, but this is the definition of crash and burn. HOLY FUCK!
Has Barnes never won a Big 12 tournament? Seems like that’s what the graphic showed earlier. I know we’ve played for it many times, but it seems like we (should have) won one. I mean if you can’t win the Big 12 tourney, why would you expect to win the big one?

Dex has been in double digits a grand total of 2 times in the last 10 games.and double digit boards once.

delta7er said:

The coach who designed our offense tonight is the same guy who took us to the second round loss with Durant. Balbay cannot play the minutes he is getting and us have a chance to comb back tonight. We are playing one of the best defensive teams in the land and they are playing against four offensive players. We have no confidence or guidance. It’s pathetic and sad the way we look on offense.
Trips Right said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Mack, ask Cole Aldrich if he thinks Dex is a great player.
Self has already said as much by doubling him with his opposite post every time the ball is entered. I guaranfuckingtee you he’s not doing that any other center in the league.

Mack McLovin said:

Yes thats great ,what was the excuse the other 8 times Dex didnt do anything this year?
How about the fact that Morris has just owned Dex giving up a ton of size.
You can make the excuses, I get it he is your guy. But the numbers dont lie, Dex hasnt done anything in conference play and has vanished in big games.
Maybe your right, I might be expecting too much from a guy thats too fat to play more than 20 minutes per game .

Our heart and soul has come into the game to save the day, Mason comes in to provide one more player who cannot score. I would not rank our team in the top 25. It’s good we only have about 8 conference games remaining because we may just play ourselves out of the tournament. I don’t think a team has ever been 17-0 and ranked number 1 and gone on to not make the tournament. Right now we don’t look like a tournament team.

No 24, ever. I like the fact that I never watched much TV. When I’m old and soiling myself I’ll catch up on Seinfeld and Cheers. I don’t imagine I’ll watch the 24’s and Lost’s.
Damion James is a man for the way he performs. I’ll heartily root for him to find his niche in The Association.

Positives: Brown driving and seeking contact rather than throwing up shitty floaters. Damion hitting his FTs. Barnes realizing Mason doesn’t do anything.

February 8th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Knight brings up a good point. We rarely draw a charging foul on defense.
delta7er said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Bob Knight has watched us play maybe four games and he already knows who our two guards should be. Hopefully Barnes will pull his head out of his ass and figure this thing out before we have no chance with the rest of the season.
jc25 said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Unfortunately, dropping Balbay for Hamilton and taking out Pittman is a severe hindrance on our D.

When we play small and fast, we give everybody problems, when we lumber up and down with you trigger happy guards and soft bigs, we are just awful to watch.
Rick should really consider going small more often.
Patrick Bateman said:
February 8th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
If Barnes has any sense, he’ll roll with the freshman and try and get better. Reboot if you will. We know what we are with the Mason, Dogus, Lucas, and the like. JCB, JH, AB should all start with Damion and Pittman and see if we can get good enough in the next 7 games….

magnus, that’s what bluray dvd box sets are for.

Brown not getting two hands on the loose ball and then our layup miss hurt terribly. 5 point swing. Game over.

Run some press, Collins throws up bad shots, and if you get a rebound down ten then you’re fast-breaking to get within 8. But I know Trips has been asking for this for weeks.
delta7er said:
February 8th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Our only offense is having J Brown playing street ball and trying to take it to the hole. This will only work if Barnes decides to roll the freshman. I don’t think he has the balls to do that.
jc25 said:
February 8th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Tech on Aldrich. Good: he’s out. Bad: We have to shoot FTs.

n-ea said:
February 8th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Mack,
Please stop. Pittman could log more minutes if Barnes would actually pull his head out of his ass and play him. It be nice too if he didn’t put Balbay and Mason in the game with him and curb Hamilton and Brown everytime they jack up a contested 3 with 30 seconds left on the shot clock. Oh, and whiles he’s at it actually develop an offensive system that involves ball rotation, pick n rolls, screens…that sort of thing. I enjoy the and 1 exhibition games as much as anyone, I just don’t want that to be the Longhorn offense.
Mack McLovin said:
February 8th, 2010 at 9:04 pm

Our only chance at making it to the sweet sixteen:
Starters:
James
Pittman
Johnson
Bradley
Brown
First off the bench:
Hamilton
Second off the bench:
Balbay
Anyone else should only be in for mop-up near the TV time outs, and at the end of the half/game.
Sadly, it won’t come close to that and we’ll get bounced in the second round after hearing about how we were once ranked #1 and then fell all the way to a #5 seed in the tourney…at best.

UT Hookem’. I’d prefer Hamilton over Gary in the starting lineup. Only because of mentality. I think Gary, being a veteran, can handle being a 6th man a lot better then JH at this point. I think JH and JCB, until this game, are confused about whether or if they’ll get minutes. They have higher upside then the other guys and F’ it, what do we have to lose?
delta7er said:
February 8th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
I’ll take Hamilton in the game the rest of the season for 25 minutes a game and we will be a better team in the long run. We must have 5 players who can score to have a chance against the premier teams in the country. I agree that he will have to have better shot selection. The fact is we have two players who can create their own shots and that is Brown and Hamilton. We can bitch on this forum all we want but if our coach doesn’t figure that out soon, we are in a lot of trouble. Just like Knight is talking about Brown and Bradley must play 30 plus minutes at the 1 and 2. Then we have to have a combination of Johnson, Dex and Hamilton playing with James and the two guards. If we figure out how to use that six man rotation and use Balbay and a big man off the bench just for short blows we might have a chance. I’m not sure Barnes will make that switch. We went the first 12 minutes of the second half with Balbay in we scored three baskets. I know it was not all his fault but when you play four on five against an elite team that will be the end result.

Good post Delta. Someone needs to actually scare the shit out of Barnes. He needs to understand that Mason is nothing but a bench guy, 6-8 minutes maybe, now. Dogus should hit the bench too. We need a front court of Pittman/DJ/Hamilton/GJ/ and then white guy stiff for a few minutes or where matchup dictates. Playing three guards sucks if we won’t up the tempo or press. Again, if we fail with the young lineup, at least we’ll be better for next year.

So who’s Barnes bitch in the postgame. Shit knows he won’t take any blame. Throw your players under the bus, the anti-Mack of you will.

Look for UTEP to pass Texas in the polls. Aggy and Raider High drop out.

I seriously think BCG is probably a better coach than Barnes. Had UK never offered him, they might be second to KU in the conference now. Hell, Mizzou might be the second best program in the conference in a year or two. I don’t know how we can maintain our recruiting when kids are watching this on TV.

One piece of good news for the day for the Horns. They picked up a verbal commitment from the number one golfer in the country who is a junior, Jordan Spieth out of Dallas. He will make our team top five or better the day he shows up on campus.

I give up on trying to be a good team. Put the young guys in and let them develop. That’s what should have happened earlier in the season instead of yanking guys on every mistake. Might as well do it now and hopefully start seeing improvement on the back end of the conference schedule and into the tournament. Balbay is Freddie Williams. He’s situational. Justin Mason is Freddie Williams unless he’s going to shoot some. Pittman is in the way. I’d rather see Chapman.
And I don’t care if the team sucks at it. Pick a random team out of a hat and copy their offense. Start running it tomorrow and run it all game next game. It will be a loss anyway, but at least there will be a goal.

Can that golfer shoot free throws, and dribble penetrate?

Positives:
Defense was tremendous. Collins and Aldrich combined for 5-23. Too bad our offense is what’s our worst defense. We’re learning that an efficient offense that doesn’t turn it over and doesn’t take poor shots is actually a great defense in itself. How many points did KU score off of turnovers and poor shot selection?
Damion James = WARRIOR. I might tear up on his last game – whenever it is. He deserves to go out a winner.
Downtown J’Covan Brown – I wonder how much of his great play was a result of KU relaxing late in the game, but he made some difficult jumpers and sunk 8-9 free throws. Don’t be surprised if Barnes throws him back into the starting lineup, just like the beginning of the season.
Balbay and Mason not starting together. While it didn’t look like it helped tonight, it wasn’t going to matter against one of the best defenses in the country.

I thought I remembered a stat one time in the game where it said KU 21 points off turnovers and UT 0.

Well, I don’t think Texas brought more energy/enthusiasm than KU this time. I was glad to see the ‘Hawks play well (in the first half anyway).
However, you all were dead-on about Texas’ offense. Holy crap. Just awful.
Those of you bitching about the refs really shouldn’t: Texas got the lion’s share of calls going into the last couple of minutes. It won’t look like it though because the ‘Horns started the late-game-foul-to-stop-the-clock routine. I will say that Aldrich absolutely deserved that technical. He lost his cool right there. That being said, I would too if someone tried to saddle me up and ride off into the sunset the way James did.
Well, the game’s done and it’s time to look to the next one on the schedule. Best of luck to your Longhorns and maybe we’ll get a rematch in the Big XII tournament.
Oh, and Rick Barnes couldn’t hold Bill Self’s jock when it comes to coaching. Not even close.

Pitiful team. I’m past angry and full into feeling sorry for them right now.
Nothing they do works on any level. It’s pathetic in the classical sense of the word.

Is she a redhead? That’s fantastic. Possibly the 2nd best performance in this game behind Damion James.

Was it just me, or did Rick Barnes look completely flabbergasted in the 2nd half????

Home from the game after an outstanding tailgating experience in Lot 80 starting at 5:30. Oh my, what a game of action, good coaching and concerted effort by both teams!!!!!!!! I had so much fun watching the action, I have asked for a redo in Abilene with the oral surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth in the late 70’s. Barnes is the man. How much do we pay him by the way for the product we regularly have the blessing of watching in person or in the internets? I need his home address as I crave leaving my personal mark on his door step. We suck. He should shoulder all the blame!

Fundamentally on both sides of the ball we are very weak. On defense we are athletic but don’t really understand when to pressure the ball or double team. Many times we over persue at a time when the offensive player is not in a dangerous position and end up giving up an easy look. The problem is we are very weak on team and help defense. I would guess we have picked up less than 5 charges as a team for the year and that is sad.
Offensively it is even more pronounced. With so few players able to create on their own we have just fallen off the earth. J Brown had a nice second half and hopefully we can build on that but that will take a big adjustment by Barnes and I’m not sure he is up to it. Since the A & M game we have been out coached by every team we have played. Each team has controlled the tempo and dicatated what type of game would be played. Barnes needs to start earning some of his pay and figure this thing out in a hurry. We have four road conference games remaining and we could lose every one of those. The three home games are not gimmies with the confidence we are playing with right now.
