Kansas seems to have Lurch-1, Lurch-2 and Lurch-3. Should probably play only one at a time, but the team is not deep in guards or wings.
Saw less of Matthew Hurt than I would have liked. Presumably, he and Jack White were alternating so we could keep more muscle on the court against the big lugs. Both should play.
And while Jack White bricked his first shot, he made one and had one go totally around the run before rolling off. Jack should keep shooting.
Freshmen Carey, Hurt and Stanley were six out of ten from three-point range. I'm loving it!
