4 points on 2 of 6 shooting. Actually a pretty good post-November game by his standards, though, because he only made 1 turnover rather than 6 or 7. [Reply]

I’m sick of the NCAA. If he was playing for duke or unc he would be playing regardless of what the NCAA said. Their not scared of them as KU is. [Reply]

This. Even if Dok hadn’t gotten hurt, I doubt the team goes very far. You’re not winning a title let alone making a Final Four playing through a big like Dok. This is 2019. The trouble is this team is built like a mid-2000’s team. [Reply]

Maybe some other fans can correct me but I guess I don’t see what De Sousa does for this team. He isn’t a shooter. He can make some hustle plays and some layups and some decent defense. How is he anything different than say Lightfoot? I just don’t see how he solves any major deficiencies on this team. [Reply]

We get it. Vick is a mental midget, but he makes this team better and they NEED him. I can't even imagine how much worse we would be without him. We would have NO three point shooting.
We ran plays to get Svi and Devonte shots. We never runs plays to get Vick an open look. He improvises too much, to a fault. But Devonte took some bad shots too. Lets get Vick some open looks. He's a good offensive shooter, even if that is all he can do. He's like a college version of Jamal Crawford. [Reply]

If they don't run plays to get him open spot shots (and they don't), he really doesn't. He can't dribble, pass, or defend and he makes a bonehead play about every minute he's on the floor. [Reply]

Its definitely a down year. I expect a first weekend exit which in a way is kind of liberating. I doubt I'll be as worked up for March like I usually am. [Reply]
