First for the Kansas/Texas game. Sherron Collins needs to make better decisions in transition. Watching him on Saturday afternoon I felt like I was watching the pre season Collins and not the kid who has made gigantic steps this season to improve his game. Best example and it happened more than a handful of times Saturday. Collins takes it coast to coast and forces a terrible lay up that he misses. I know that I have been critical of Collins but his ability to play out of control bothers me. The reason that it doesn’t bother Kansas fans, it’s worked well for him. The reason that it bothers me I think that he has gotten lucky more than a few times and your luck will run out eventually.
Cole Aldrich needs to develop into the type of player that doesn’t just fade into the background when his teammates don’t get him the ball. I know that he relies on them to feed him in the post but the next step needs to be to develop a mid range game that allows him to face up make a nice strong move to the bucket and finish. Playing with your back to the basket can be effective but you will always have to have teammates that understand how important it is to get the ball. Doing that will also help his NBA draft stock rise.
Tyshawn Taylor is going to be a very nice player for Kansas. However he has not picked up what the Jayhawks are trying to do on defense and that limits his playing time. If Taylor was playing on the Kansas team most people thought that they were going to have this season it wouldn’t be that big an issue. They are much better than expected so it is.
Kansas goes 14-2 in a year that most experts believed would be a rebuilding year. That is a huge accomplishment for Bill Self and his staff.. Now the question should be how far do you think Kansas can go in the NCAA tournament.?
I have struggled with this in all sports and try and evaluate how the team has changed over the course of the season and if the landscape of the sport has changes over the season. This year in college basketball is definitely one of those seasons so my expectations for Kansas have changed and here is why.
College Basketball outside of the Big East and the top two teams in the ACC is way down this season. So if Kansas is the benefit of a 3 seed or higher they will be able to coast into the sweet sixteen before they have to play one of those few elite teams in the country.
There are few teams that have a dominant big man. Lately Cole Aldich has been inconsistent but when both he and Sherron Collins are playing at the level that we have seen them reach in spurts this season there is not doubt that they could put together a magical nigh. The problem. We haven’t seen them do it in the past two games.
The answer to the question, How far do I think that Kansas can go in the NCAA tournament?
They should make the sweet sixteen and to me that is a great season for the Jayhawks, This week the Big 12 tournament will be a good re-start to try and get the Hawks back on track. There is no way that the big 12 gets a #1 seed for anyone this year look for the big 12 champ to be the highest 2 seed.
