As long as Harris and KJ get the minutes they do we simply cannot reach our ceiling.

Maybe we snag a 2 seed and make a FF. Definitely can happen its just a weaker team than preseason predictions the last couple of years.

This team hasn’t even scratched the surface of its potential, yet they were still good enough to beat a loaded Duke team without Dickinson for the last 10 min.

Like Bill said, it takes newcomers a while to reach the point that they’re playing and not thinking too much. When Storr and Griffen start playing to their potential, they’ll be very good.

Storr has never even been very good yet in college. He just got to shoot alot.

He was by far the best player on a pretty good Wisconsin team.

Inefficient scorer, avg defender for no god damned reason, below avg rebounder, TERRIBLE passer, doesn't get steals or blocks, decent shooter. Should be able to get to the line is the redeeming thing about him but as we've seen in the Bill Self offense that hasn't happened yet. Would love to see him get the ball if deep in the shot clock and for Harris to get outta the way at such point.

That's usually how I figure out who will make the Final Four... watch them against Brown during the week of Christmas.

Has nothing to do with Brown. Has to do with how we play and roster usage.

I will say if Griffin can show hes a legit big time shooter that would go a long way. No reason not to believe he won't come alive later in the season.

And again not a bad team but at Kansas and based on preseason prognosticators this team is a bit overrated.

So, because they were ranked preseason #1, they need to be the best team in the country from day one?

They need to be a #1 seed.

[KC_Connection]

KU can be a one seed but they’d have to bench KJ to do it (not Harris, who they badly need for his defense)

And they easily could be.

How did this consensus ever develop that other teams players are great but we have 2-3 players every year that suck so bad they'd be lucky to play for Missouri state?

[Ceej]

Juan and KJ with 10 combined shots today.

Perfect!

I think you just described every sports message board.
