Random thoughts from a cluttered mind

Well I thought we had found a key with the first half of the ISU game. And that key was defensive intensity.

Evidently not so.

Harris picking up the third foul combined with the intensity of the KSU players and fans spelled doom for KU.

Hunter once again showed mediocrity when confronted by good big men. He was slow and often lost on D.

I give KSU credit, they shot lights out, They were quick, determined, concise with their play, and better.

This team needs to make games a rock fight, but they don’t have the physical skills to do so. It seems we can do it in stretches, but not sustained.

I think we are missing something intangible. There used to be pride in playing for KU. A want to carry the traditions on. A desire to sustain the KU dominance. I think with NIL and the portal transfer carousel this is no longer the case. There is no pride, no intensity, and no desire.

They have talent. They are good kids. But I don’t really see any connection to KU beyond the job,

We are soft. We are slow. At times we can play at a high level at times, but it doesn’t appear to be anything they can readily replicate on any consistent basis.
