Let's compare an ordinary 6-seed, ie Missouri, to KU. It's pretty telling where KU needs improvement

MU stat line as compared to all other schools:

FG % 18 th in the country

3-point % 33 rd

Points scored 25 th


Now, KU's stat line:

FG% 51 st

3-point % 134

Points scored. 112 in the country


In short, in order to restore its national prominence, KU needs more offensive firepower.

In this day and age, if you can't score the ball you can't keep up in games against the other team. Pretty simple.

You have to make the other team chase you. You can't rely on playing behind in the score all the time.

Playing defense is a needed ingredient in winning.

But it makes it difficult for the opponent to catch you if you are scoring in the 80's much of the time.
