Kansas will be fine Because the things that burn them yesterday are things that can be fixed.
EFFORT!
That’s the number one thing I took away from yesterday. It had nothing to do with who got the ball last possession or who didn’t take enough shots. It came down to how we defended and how we went after loose balls. Dayton kicked our butt in this department. I thought we were that team against Michigan State.
FREE THROWS!
Kansas went a abysmal 9-20 from the FT line. That’s really bad. 2003 national championship bad. Talk about wasted opportunity. I think this team is better than the from the line. Especially Ochai.
Had both of these things been relatively normal, Kansas wins going away yesterday. Luckily, it’s not a personnel thing, IMHO. It’s about controlling the things you can control. I fully expect Kansas to come out with more energy and better concentration against Iona.
