Nope, it's complaining. Maybe you should start trying to think of a positive thing for every negative thing you complain about. :-)
Oh, and good teams absolutely do blow leads at times. That's because a game of this nature involves two teams and sometimes the other team goes on a run and you just can't stop it. [Reply]
Jontay seems to have filled the void, at least at this point. The team is enjoyable to watch and our talent level is still off the charts compared to last year. [Reply]

All part of the reason KU looks in trouble early every year but is fine by tourney.
Not troubled by blowing 16 pt lead. Troubled that bleeding continued to 8 pt deficit.
Reassured by lack of panic & still winning by solid margin.
Let's see what Sunday brings.
That was the part that concerned me the most. This is the 2nd time where they've gotten out to a sizable lead then got a little complacent. Just want to see that get nipped. It's one thing when the other team starts bombing 3's like SJU did. It's another though when you start shooting yourself in the foot on 4-5 straight possessions. They will learn and I like the talent. [Reply]

He looked good yesterday except one time he put up a 3 with like 20+ left on the shot clock. Would like to see him work the ball more inside. under 10 on the clock, sling it...over 20...work the ball around. [Reply]

I was complimentary before I was accused of not being complimentary..... [Reply]

He's barely 18, the court smarts will come with time on the floor. Heck, these kids are just starting to scratch the surface of what they can do. [Reply]

I said I'd like to see..as in I'd like to see him improve on that...that's not a bash
