In response to Chip Bayers
Yeah bummed our guys didn’t keep it a little closer but we played them tough while shooting poorly and getting nothing offensively from AJ or Max. I mean, we literally got 16 points from 4 starters not named Dev but kept K State engaged and in it the whole game.
That is a very good team, an Elite 8 squad with top 7 players back, and preseason Big 12 Player of the Year.
Some positives to take away:
1) defense continued to be strong both in keeping them off the 3 line and defending it well:
2) I thought outside a few lapses we did a good job keeping them in front of us.
3) We battled them pretty even on the boards.
4) Mike Wang came in when our bigs looked tentative and showed no fear (and did quite a few good things).
Plenty of negatives too, but biggest were losing turnover battle badly, poor shooting, and hesitation on offense at times.
As someone said, tomorrow is another day and a more important game than today because if we play well we have a great shot against Oregon State.
Let’s hope the guys bounce back quickly and make a good showing tomorrow.
