Well, what can you say? -You remember me asking if we had played a complete game this year? - -Well maybe I'm really blind but I think that was probably the best complete game we have played all year long.

You tell me, like they said in the post game, didn't it look like Frank just pretty much sealed up his POY with his preformance tonight? - - I mean 27 points - - 8 rebounds - - -& 9 assists. - -Bragg came to play, Vick was really solid, - - - I'm telling you if w can get that kind of production off the bench with those two, then just gonna be that much more dangerous. - -I have to say we looked pretty dam good today against a team playing really good ball, on their home floor. - - Other then SVI 's foul trouble - -everyone played pretty dam solid.

Rebounded the ball really well Landen was solid 10 pts & 7 rebounds, -shoot I think they said 56% for the game, 13-17 from the foul line, both teams played well actually very sweet game to watch up and down, This team just has that certain something. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

DAM, forgot to get this in my post- -had that old man brain fade lol, but who would of thought we would win this league by FOUR games - --FOUR, that just boggles my mind, let's just keep the run - - -running let's take it to the house boys - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 and you thought we'd lose, right?

@Crimsonorblue22 yes I did, I just felt the. way Oklahoma state had been playing, and how we play so poorly there. i'll admit with no problem that I did - -but I also happen to know I wasn't alone for sure in my thoughts, BUT I couldn't be happier that I was wrong, still close on the score. These guys have that mentality , toughness, glad to see them close like they have. - -Win this league by four games - -who would of thought that big of margain? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 First time in some time that Bragg hit jumpers and got points other than at the rim. That is a very good sign if he can keep it going. Looking at body language, it appears thè toughening box is working.

The game had a lot more flow to it with players making play which made for a very enjoyable watch.

Personally, I liked the subplot of counting off Frank's assists in his quest for 20/5. Personally I never saw 7, but 8&9 were sweet to give him the record. No talk about it on the broadcast of course.

@Fightsongwriter Bragg looked like Bragg last night.

@KUSTEVE

Bragg should be on the Lucas plan inside iyam. Only dunk/lay-up that shit when there is a clear path to the basket or there was a switch with a guard on him. Unlike Lucas though, jump shots are okay with Carlton.

As you know I'm always super optimistic, but I think Bragg can be a good player yet...

Mason had a signature moment in the OState game that requires acknowledgement from somebody. I haven't watched the game again, but who else remembers Mason driving the ball into the lane against all five Cowboys and getting to the rim? There wasn't another Jayhawk in the picture; just five defenders and our POY. I'll have to go find it on my recording, but it still stands out in my mind that he is so confident, he doesn't need to wait for any help. Mason is outstanding. RCJH

@Fightsongwriter

The mid range jumper was supposed to be Bragg's bread and butter. If he continues to hit it consistently it would give opponents another thing to plan for...I like it.

@JayHawkFanToo nice that he has been hitting it lately like last year. It adds another dimension to the team and makes us harder to guard.

@jayballer54

Imagine what this team would have been like all season if Landen had had working thumbs on both hands, not just one!!!

@jaybate-1.0 so he can't shoot right handed? I thought I saw him make free throws, make post moves AND hang on the rim all with his right hand. He said he is doing ok and his play pretty much relects this. He is playing well

@HawkChamp

Look at some of his monster games down the stretch last season.

He's capable of mid double doubles and even some high double doubles.

Him only going 10/7 seems about like half of what he would have done healthy against OSU.

But I certainly agree that he is playing well regardless.

@JayHawkFanToo If Bragg keeps canning the J it opens up the middle even more for the assassins to drive it.

@HawkChamp His right hand is swollen. He has been favoring it the last few games.

This OSU win is a really great win and a bit of icing on the season. It breaks our long drought. I really enjoyed this win as much if not more than any other.
