Tough to say, they played sticky D, had quick hands and were really fast to the rim. Their offense was mostly stealing the ball or getting offensive rebounds and making effort layups. Kind of reminds me of Marquette.
Ighodaro is pretty damn good. That team will be top 5 all season. [Reply]
Jesus Christ Marquette picks strawberries, goes bowling, and has milkshakes after the game? Trying really hard to make Shaka sound like some kind of great guy. [Reply]
Marquette was scrappy and played defense really well. KU never could get anything going. They were clearly the better team last night. Thankfully we get to play Tennessee and will be able to watch a clean basketball game...... Awww shit. [Reply]

Me, too. The game started so late and I was still tired from the Chiefs game (and tailgate) the day before. I went to bed at halftime. I feel much better this morning. Oh well, KU lost an early season game. I'm not worried. Yes, Timberlake looks like he doesn't belong but I still have hope for some other guys. I guess KU is not the #1 team (yet). [Reply]

I was down voted for some reason saying this after the UK game, but this was a mirror image of our losses last year. When our best player isn't putting up amazing numbers for whatever reason, we really struggle to score sometimes. The game @iowa state last year was this game. Can't get anything going and getting nothing from the bench. Losses like this are going to happen just like they did last year, but we will be fine. [Reply]
Pettiford would have been better than Elmarko this year, but Elmarko has more potential so obviously still a win. Hope he just improves a ton by end of year. [Reply]
