Of course your posts are proof of this. How many of those rushed shots turned into quick transition buckets for KU? You probably think West Virginia's last possession last night was well drawn too.

The problem you are refrencing is the shot taken not the time elapsed off the clock when it was taken. If they'd have held the ball for 28 seconds before putting up a shitty shot they wouldn't be any farther ahead. They were kicking the hell out of KU when they were doing the same thing except the shots went down.

KU played well, probably their best tourney game in a long,long time
Colby was a huge help again, crucial minutes while the game was still in doubt. While Graham is hitting 3's KU is extremely difficult to beat. Purdue stopped going inside to Ivan Drago and it cost them the game.

Purdue allowed Kansas to play in transition. KU used that to exploit their superior athleticism and speed. Purdue didn't force KU into a halfcourt sludge fest, which allowed that points per possession stat to absolutely skyrocket. So simply pointing at a stat and saying this is why is way too simplified. The stat is a product of the tempo (among other factors, obviously). Had KU been forced to play the halfcourt game, instead of the up and down transition game, they don't score 1.4 ppp.

Purdue made some shots early, and didn't continue to attempt to exploit the advantages they had (post play). Once they got behind, it was over. |

KU basically had the formula the Warriors used last year, last night. If they make 15 3's, Purdue has to make 23 shots throwing it inside to keep pace.
I think you guys are overcomplicating this. KU made shots. Purdue did early, then stopped. Missed shots lead to fast breaks and easy baskets. |

I thought KU did a pretty good job of adjusting their perimeter D and started contesting the 3 and easy passes inside. Purdue didn't just go cold.

Swanigan having Albert Wilson hands helped as well. Guy had one more rebound than turnovers.

KUs rotation was really bad early. Really bad. I made the comment earlier that they were pressing and overthinking it. Maybe not. Maybe Self is an X/O wizard and found the magic bullet, but it looked to me like KU was thinking not playing, then overcompensating by running really fast. To the wrong spot.

Self's x's and o's chops are severely underrated. Dude is really good in game with that stuff.
