Unfortunately, some players, like Frankamp, just aren't physically talented enough to guard high level players. So, unless he just starts shooting the ball great again, he is probably going to be buried at the end of the bench when conference play starts. We have all known this for two decades now, but if you can't guard and play defense, you won't be getting on the court for Bill Self |

I did a little reading on some UConn message boards after the game and they all seemed assured that they beat us soundly on a neutral court because the Phog was worth the point differential. True, the Phog is probably worth a few points, but I think KU still handles them on a neutral court if the Newton guy has a “normal” game. He came into this game averaging 15.7 points and had 31 last night. Cut that in half and KU wins easily.

I certainly think a different environment changes that somewhat (the UConn players outside of Newton were all but shitting their pants due to the AFH environment in the first 10 minutes of the game and that isn't gonna happen elsewhere), but they were very lucky to even be in that game at the end given their start and I think if they were being honest with themselves they'd know that. |

I didn’t even find myself too upset with what Newton was doing.
Sure we could’ve defended him a bit better, but he was making some incredible shots. Sometimes a guy is just on. It was the game of his life for sure. |

I have seen so many players, some stars, but mostly mid or lower players, have the literal game of their life in AFH. And, Self teams have a long history of questionable 3-point defense, so I have just become numb to shooting performances like that. |

The frustrating one is the number of offensive rebounds KU is giving up, especially on missed 3-point shots.

There’s a good video floating around out there on X about KJ’s defense and how he helps.
It’s only like 2 minutes long. Once you really watch him, you can see how good he is defensively. |
