I know lots of people when playing are better when doing a step back or fallaway J. Some people are just more comfortable with that type of motion.


KOBE!

Second rate copy of MJ. :P (which is still good obviously, cuz he's probably the only "2nd rate MJ" on the planet - but still 2nd rate)

Is Ellis allergic to defense? God I hate that bayless look.

Largest deficit for Kansas this season. Let's see how they respond.

that's why im wondering if 'nova played yesterday too. Kansas just played yesterday and these are kids who are used to playing once a week.

andddddddd it turns out yes they did play yesterday and won. they're also 5-0

undefeated records on the line.

Kansas offense is way too stagnant. I've been complaining constantly about how poorly it utilizes its personnel.

Edit: Jabari had a little fade in his form too.

Yeap, jabari does. He's pretty versatile on O. I don't like his form and his overall style of play, but I cant deny the fact that the kid gets it done.

Wiggins does need to develop better handles, but I think he'd benefit more if he develop one or two combo moves playing off of his jumper. A inside-out crossover would be a nasty move for him similar to what Kyrie did to Brandon Knight breaking his ankles. He doesn't need to dance to be effective.

Has Embiid even been playing? I haven't noticed him in there much.

Wiggins hasn't looked good in this half, but let's see how he regroups at the half and respond in the 2nd. Also gotta keep in mind that he is battling the flu, so you can't knock him too much. That's why I said it'll be tough for him to play back to back to back games when he's under the weather.

Let's see how the game finishes.

Its an 8 team tournament - all teams play 3 games in 3 days. Winner plays Iowa tomorrow. Teams are allowed to play in one of these tournaments once a year.

Iowa like Villanova are very underrated teams that have surprised so far. KenPom Rankings for the two teams are #16 and #22, and neither was predicted for close to top 25 this year.

We better hope Dwayne Casey is not back at home watching this game. He will see Nova's small ball, and be inspired to use it even more next game.
