Take a vodka shot every time you hear the term "platoon."

And die by halftime.

Is there a scrub platoon of four star walkons for garbage time? Which I expect to be the whole second half.

Don't think he's talking about KU.

Though I think South Carolina is going to have an okay year if they can hang close to Baylor. But that might be my Frank Martin love showing.

Correct on both counts (I hope). We should be improved this year, but we won't be challenging for any kind of postseason until 2015, probably.

Offense was pretty meh for the last 10 minutes of the half. Left a lot to be desired.

Frank Martin took a good (definitely not great) K-State team to the elite eight. Don't count yourself out!

Also gently caress Frank Martin.

Offense will probably improve, UK always does poorly in the first half of big games early in the season. (UK-Kansas 2012, UK-UNC 2012, UK-Mich. St last year, etc.)

Can they go more than two minutes without talking about the loving platoon system? WE GET IT. And blue team/white team? Let's just call it the starters and the backups like with everybody else.

I think Bill Self made a pretty smart gameplan by having his guys drive directly into the Kentucky length. Really worked out well. "Running downhill" or whatever he called it in the pregame interview, excellent cross-sports analogy.

I'm not really watching so there might be something obvious I'm missing, but how is this different from the old Roy Williams line changes back in his early Kansas years?

Well, the team doesn't really have any 3-pointer strength, and hasn't since Morningstar left.

Thing is, they keep going on and on about Kentucky's size like it's all pluses with no minuses, when in reality, that can get a team in trouble in terms of backcourt play and the like. If they face a team that pressures well and hits all their 3-pointers in the tourney, they could be in trouble. If I'm Calipari, I go with Lyle in the starters to have some better passing play.

But that team is some Big East squad or a Cinderella. It's not Kansas, and the inside-out is looking like poo poo against them. I don't know why KU in't upping the tempo, especially since they were so gleeful about it with Santa Barbara. The only scoring they're going to get is like in the last minutes with fast-break plays.

Gripe about the Platoon: Kansas goes zone and Cal won't put in Booker or Lyles to play the wing. Poythress hinders us when he's just a "corner shooter"

It's not even inside out. I don't remember a single entry pass this game.

We're just driving blindly into the paint without looking to pass.

Part of that is (probably justifiable) fears about length, and the other is Mason being an idiot ball hog half the time.
