Valiant effort, and with some guys making a push to claim those open minutes. I really like the low turnovers, only 9 in another up tempo game after only 6 opening night. Great free throw shooting 28 - 31 (Seth 10 - 10).
If Seth, RJ, and EC are the heavy minute guys, small ball will indeed be the main entrée this year. I think they played 33, 35, 37 minutes respectively.
Withers played well, active, shooting it well. Lubin gave some much needed physicality and battled. Washington is still in between, too light in the arse to hold his ground in the paint, a step slow outside of it. Gotta get to his strengths in other areas to offset that. Cap Jack showed some flashes, and Drake versatility is starting to show.
RJ had another extended run at point while we did good work in the 2nd half. It might be hard to get clean looks for him if Tyson is a swing and miss, unless Seth, EC, Withers become that 2nd stay at home with 3 shooter.
Still time for others to establish themselves, but a core 8 may be emerging watching who stepped up in one of if not the most difficult road venues against a loaded Jayhawk roster.
Plenty to like, and plenty to work on and sort itself out. Hopefully Tyson can acclimate to this level. The jury is still out for me as I said pre season on that for sure, but not counting him totally out yet either.
Can't wait to see them back in action to see how they develop, it's going to be interesting.
