If they get it it won’t be playing like this.
Normally they pick it up in January. This looks like dog balls. [Reply]

Yep. This is the biggest weakness. Unfortunately for KU, they don't call fouls on 3 point shooters like they do in the NBA. But our guys don't ever make the refs even think about blowing their whistle. [Reply]

Drawing fouls is definitely a skill and it's amazing that KU has somehow assembled a team where not one person (other than Udoka, who can't shoot FTs) is even decent at it. [Reply]

Depends what you define as elite. There are 351 teams in college bball. We are always towards the top because we have a good defensive philosophy and always have good athletes.
