At this point in the season, I'm concerned about:
*Keith's ankle
*Galindo and RussRobb: Can they consistently contribute solid minutes in the postseason even though Self has hardly played them over the last couple of months? They did a fine job today in a tough situation, but can they do it consistently now all of a sudden that we need them? SELF: "I haven't given Russell a chance to play much lately." Yeah, no kidding.
*Our team's unbelievable ability to repeatedly forget that Wayne Simien is on the floor...and for Self to not be able to get them to execute getting Wayne the ball. He said in his post game comments that Wayne should touch the ball every time down the court. I agree. So why doesn't he?
*Christian Moody's propensity to foul and inability to score...and how clueless the team looks on offense when Christian has to sit because of fouls.
*The team's propensity to place little value on critical possessions at key moments in a game
*The fact that our seniors lost for the first time in the regular season to MU
*That Aaron Miles said that MU was tougher and stronger than KU today
*Whether JR will ever find the deadly shooting stroke we saw last year
*Our team's confidence level after losing to a shitty MU team who haven't even qualified for the NIT
*That Alex Galindo said he feels like they let the seniors down today
*That OU is playing heads and shoulders above where KU is playing right now
*Whoever we play in the first game of the Big 12 tourney, whether it is KSU or A&M. If Keith is out, we're very beatable.
*MU went 8.5 minutes without a field goal in the second half...and they still beat us
*KU had a chance to win the title outright and secure the #1 seed and they weren't able to take care of business.
*That if you take out ONE of our starters, then our entire offense goes completely in a funk
*This team let numerous opportunities to lock up the conference title, each time letting it slip through their fingers
*That KU has played 40 minutes of Kansas Basketball maybe 3-4 times this season
*That we enter the post-season having lost 4 of our last 6
Can this team make a run in the post season? Maybe.
I'm just not very confident based on what I've seen in the last 5-6 weeks.
Passion - Commitment - History
I love Jayhawk sports. I love watching them. I love reading about them. I love writing about them. I love talking about them. I love bringing a group of friends together to watch a game. I love the emotional ups and downs that go with every play. I love spending a day in Lawrence and soaking up the history of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium.
That is the reason for JAYTALKERS.com. It's a place for me to share my passion with Jayhawk fans around the world. I hope you enjoy it.

I agree... especially with the one about not having one of our starters in. I really felt like we needed to win without Langford today.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. I'll be reading regularly.
Thanks for the comments, Jill. Glad you found the blog. I add items periodically as I have thoughts to share.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how far this team will go this season. They are consistently inconsistent.
