Kansas basketball seems no closer to solving its biggest defensive issue than it was when Louisiana exposed the weakness two weeks ago.
KU cannot defend threes — not against good three-point shooting teams, and, as Saturday’s 90-84 overtime win against Stanford showed, not against bad ones either.
Guard Marcus Garrett admitted that, while watching film on Stanford before the game, “it just seemed like they don’t ever make any shots.” KU coach Bill Self echoed that sentiment Monday, saying the Cardinal was “probably the worst three-point shooting team we have faced this year statistically” before quickly saying that the numbers could always change over time.
