A little disappointing we didn't see more NBA Stars play. Eric Gordon and Buddy Hield playing right now. Hopefully they both play the entire game as Hield only played the 1st half the other day. [Reply]

They are doing okay against real talent. Some mistakes but to be expected so early in the season. This experience should be good for KU. [Reply]
I think we should be pretty jacked on Timberlake. The guy has sooo many nice shots rim in and out. I think just unlucky.
Elmarko looks to be a guy that can draw fouls. I think he's going to be the 5th starter if I was a betting man today. He just plays like a Bill Self combo guard. [Reply]

Obviously you can't look too much into a game this early, but it's interesting how they have changed defense from Saturday and completely eliminated KJ Adams from the game. They have been dropping way, way off KJ when he isn't involved in the play and dropping every time he is involved with a pick and roll. It's going to be interesting to watch that going forward if it can be solved. [Reply]

This is why these games are valuable. Gives Self a chance to find a counter to that strategy. [Reply]

Sounds like KJ Adams' shot still isn't being respected then. All of their opponents did the same thing last year and it made it quite difficult to score at times. [Reply]

Just from listening to Bill Self talk about Johnny Furphy, there’s no doubt that Self expects the 6-foot-7, 180-pound SF to play a major role this season. Self said Furphy reminds him some of Svi Mykhailiuk and Christian Braun. #kubball
