Welcome Otis Livingston

[GSII]

Wait, someone here has an issue with a 97% ft shooter attacking the basket? You must have a virus.

I think the criticism is in transition when there is a better option than putting his head down and going for it (usually that option, by the way, is Marquise). It happened twice last game (that I remember) where it was obvious he had no path to the basket himself, but had an open runner trailing the play he could have laid the ball off to, and he went for it anyway.

He's generally actually pretty good in transition.

There have been a number times I thought Otis should have passed the ball on the break, and he put his head down instead. Usually he proves me wrong and gets a layup and/or a foul.

If it's working (and it is), then I have no complaints.

Otis' dad is the last person that should be criticizing anyone about what they say about Otis.

Petey, ask Otis' dad to describe how he talks to Otis DURING games, both at home and on the road (specifically LaSalle last year). It was flat out embarrassing how he talked down to Otis and was so ridiculously critical of him, yelling at him during game play.

Everyone sitting around us in the stands kept looking at each other like - "Is this guy for real? who would talk to a player like that, much less their son?"

He's not as audible at home games since his seat is much further back.

"The adversity

Amazingly, several players who contributed to that championship run have different answers.

Many weren't in Kemper Arena.

What's lost among all the enduring storylines of the 1988 Jayhawks - Manning's domination, the Miracles' unsung contributions, Brown's tactical brilliance, Archie Marshall's unwavering inspiration - was perhaps the most incredible subplot all season.

KU's amazing ability to overcome adversity.

'I was part of that adversity,' guard Otis Livingston says. 'At the end of the year, they started just playing basketball.'

Livingston wasn't there to live it.

He was suspended from the team prior to the Big Eight Tournament and never came back, painfully watching the miraculous March run on his own time.

The disconnect he felt lingers to this day. While most of the 17 Jayhawks who played that year refer to the team in the first person, Livingston never did in an interview last month. He always said 'they' when reminiscing about the national champions, despite playing in 27 games himself that season."

Anybody know which church this was at? (I ended a sentence with a preposition, I know).

 

[Wefo27]

Based on the banner behind him, it's Methodist - and a quick google search shows a few in his area. The picture also looks like a small stage set up rather than a grand alter - a little more searching could find it.

It could be a church in NJ

It's the United Methodist Church of Linden (NJ).

By shooting 3-3 from the FT line in the loss to vcu, Otis has extended his school record to 34 consecutive FTM.

 

[Mason2005]

Time to get your swagger back Otis. UMass will pay!

Nice rebound for Otis tonight. After being clearly rattled by vcu, he came out and got ZERO turnovers in 38 minutes against one of the better defensive teams they'll see.

 

[Jack Strop]

Otis's FT streak ends at 34 against UMass. Great streak! Let's do it again. Go for 35 this time around!
