First half defense was awful. And to be fair, I could guard some of those guys. They're tiny, slow, and not even remotely athletic outside of the alien head. [Reply]

For KU? It was fine. Only reason they were leading at half (29-27). The offense on the other hand was a dreadful, disgusting wreck.
And BYU is your standard BYU team on the fringes of the tournament. They're all right (albeit missing their best player right now). [Reply]

Way too early to say either way, but they certainly look like one of the best teams in the country to me so far due to the defense alone. Offense is far easier to work on/fix. And eventually Self will stop playing the archaic 2 big lineups that they can't score with. [Reply]

They missed a pile of assignments it looked to me like. [Reply]

A few guys lost their man a few times, but they completely took away everything BYU was trying to do offensively and forced almost 10 turnovers in the 1st half. I believe KU didn't even score for a 5+ minute stretch and it didn't matter at all because BYU could get nothing on them. [Reply]
