    Fred is a very good defender, not sure Brown would've been much better on ARod. If you recall, there were games last year Where 3G had Cotton guard the point, only to take him off the duty when he couldn't keep up and put Fred on him. Fred is really good 1 on 1 defender with quick hands, while Cotton was better at denying and getting into the lanes.

        wichita state was their superbowl. you could see it in the pregame press conference (from larranaga, too).

        but the shockers got severely screwed getting the 12:00 pm est start. i can't believe that cbs called that time slot, after what wsu had been through. i guess they really do run the tournament (much to the approval of the p5 conferences).

        you know miami's gameplan: hit 'em early and hit 'em hard.. those legs will give out.

        anyway, villanova looks regional final ready.

        • I think I'm a KU win away from checking out for the season. What an awful tournament.

              You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....

              .....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

                They were showing KU football players shooting at a basket during practice.

                    Fred is an outstanding defender. Stopping quick guys from penetrating is not one of the stronger areas of his D. He's great at denying passing lanes, stealing balls, and making PG's who aren't super-quick pick up their dribbles.

                    He was unable to stay in front of Rodriguez, or Washpun. I don't think Fred ever got completely over the hamstring this season. He didn't look as explosive on his first step or his change of speed moves all season.

                    • IMO the problem with Washpun was never the first defender. It was an issue with the second (and even third) defender. Too many times there was no 2nd defender until he was already airborne.

                              That would be on Marshall. Who should have picked up a penetrating guard who got past the perimeter defense? Why didn't they do that?

                              Washpun repeatedly beating VanVleet and scoring put the Shox in the play-in game. That's the basis for the tired legs problem in the loss to Miami. So, who was supposed to pick up Washpun after he beat FVV, and why didn't that happen?

                              Same thing happened against Miami. Once Rodriquez got past VanVleet, Rodriguez had a layup. He's not getting that against other teams.

                                It pains me to think how Landry could or could not have helped this team this year...😖
