A workman-like, down and dirty, get 'er done game against the Cowboys.
The Jayhawks had a sub-par offensive performance.
They shot 47.6% from 2 (10-21) and 33.3% from 3 (11-33) for a combined 38.9% (21-54) from the floor.
Sub-par indeed!
On the Plus side they hit 12-15 (80%) from the FT line, had 15 assists, 8 blocks, and held their own on the glass ending up with 40, just one short of the OKS total.
Also on the plus side -- at least for KU -- OKS had one of its worst days on offense yet this year, so bad that it's hard to say it was all the stifling KU defense.
OKS shot 34.8% from 2 (16-46) and 11.1% from 3 (2-18) for 28.1% (18-64) total FG from the floor, well below the 42.2% TFG and 31.9% 3P averages they had coming into Monday's game.
Now getting blocked 8 times (and multiple more changed shots) might have had something to do with it, and also some pretty darn good perimeter defense by KU, but dang! I guess the uncharacteristic Monday Stillwater high of 68F really messed them up when the Frigidaire kicked in.
Can you say COLD?
(I knew you could .)
It's still hotter outside in Stillwater (48F as I write this) than the Pokes were in GIA on Monday.
But on the Plus side for OKS -- hmmm, never mind.
Monday's game was Game #599 in Bill Self's KANSAS coaching career, and the W brings him to exactly ...
100 wins to catch Phog.
Three (3) wins away from 700 for his head coaching career.
Ten (10) wins away from 500 for his KU career.
from the pinned Bill Self KU Won-Lost Record AY2019-20
This Saturday against Texas Tech in Allen Fieldhouse Self will coach the Jayhawks in his 600th game as KUMBBHC.
Game time is 3:00 PM CT on ESPN.
I think we can all agree that the Jayhawks are going to have to play a LOT better on offense Saturday to earn the win.
Tech's offense is nothing like last year's team, but it's defense is Top 10 caliber,
So, the question needs asking --
Are they ready to RUMBLE?!?!
