OU is going to need to do something differently offensively in a few weeks at home. Running their offense through Osby against a player like Withey just isn't going to be effective. The only real way to beat a defense like KU's is through outside jump shots (and obviously getting a bit lucky there). As such, I think they significantly underused Pledger today, a great shooter.

I was also impressed with Ellis. He's an entirely different player than a month ago. He's taking some of Young's minutes. And that's super. Young is doing some good things, but unfortunately you have to take the good with the bad, but it warmed my soul to get some production out of Ellis.
Confidence is growing. He'll definitely be leaned on a lot more next year, so that's a good sign.

I wonder what the deal is with EJ. At first, it was speculation that his knee wasn't 100%, and he hasn't done much of anything in a month. We are going to need him. Particularly with how effective their press was.
I think he's just rather lazy and unfocused. It's too bad because he's a major talent and could have had a much better KU career than he's had IMO, but if he's only going to get serious in the big games, I guess we'll just have to take that.
