Fueled by trash talk, Lagerald Vick at his best in NCAA Tournament
I like this. Vick has been the most maligned KU player this season. I've criticized him plenty. But he seems to have gotten his head straight and his play has been crucial to KU's success this tournament season. Keep up that energy, Lagerald.

My guess against Clemson was that Clemson isn't a team that scores close to the rim. They like to shoot 3's and midrange J's. Lightfoots best skill is shot blocking, and it wasn't needed as much. Or, maybe he did sleep with Self's daughter. |

But the question is worth discussing because Self rarely goes away from a contributor after conference play starts. This is a dissent from that approach. I’m interested to know the reasons because he’s rode to the death with so many ineffective players in the past. It also bears discussing because the comparison isn’t to Doke/Desousa, it is to Vick/Svi at the 4. Now, I’m perfectly satisfied with what Vick brought to the table, but you’d think that given how many minutes Lightfoot played through the year, Self would want to try to match size with size for at least a couple possessions. It’s just very un-Self-like to go away from guys he rolled with. |

SDS showing flashes the week before the NCAA tournament meant that Self hasn't had time to do anything but work on their usual stuff and prepare for a specific opponent. He's not going to scrap what they've done all year and install new stuff. |

Mitch may transfer, I hope not though. I think he'd be a good stretch 4 if he continues to develop.

The Mitch stuff is plain as day to me - he's a stretch 4 being asked to play 5. Since we're going the four guard route, he doesn't quite fit the mold to begin with. SDS has progressed enough and "caught up" to the point where he's a much better 5 than Mitch, probably due to his great athleticism and rebounding prowess.
No way Mitch transfers. He's KU through and through. It'll be better for him once he's allowed to play to his skillset. |
