Saggy Konats is warming up. :thinking:

I heard some mutterings that he might be playing tonight.

Saying looks like he is playing - -and this surprises us how? - - Now we deal with Culver and Konate - -Holy Bat Crap -- - I got this feeling Dave won't sniff a basket tonight - -not with Konate- - hope I'm wrong - that's quite a front court

Hugs is pulling out all the stops to try to make the tourney. I don't blame him for giving his team the best chance to win. Now, lets hope Big Dave and Mitch have strong games.

Now from the voice of West Virginia - - they are saying this is just the 2nd day since he got his brace off and sure there is zero possibility that he plays tonight - -but like they said we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hoops overload! Daughters current college playing in D3 semis, down 5 at half. KU game. I went to the UC to see Wisconsin outlast Nebraska today, had a blast. Hoping to end the day on a high note.

Go away, Fran.

We're the top seed left in this tournament. That's something.

Shoot, where'd robby hummel go?

Daaaaamn. That look was right there.

Anyone check stubhub prices on this game today?

Whatevz

Mitttttch

It's lawson, not dotson, dude

DanR said:

It's lawson, not dotson, dude

Third obvious error already...sad...

Zero defense being played itg

hope WVU keeps taking bad shots

Dotson ahead of Mason in FR season

Well, Frank had Tharpe to compete against. Compared to... looks down the bench... Chuck

The refs are about as expected. Dont know their job

lets see that again...can these refs in KC not call simple who a ball is off in this tournament?

Dedric that was a new move. Hadn't seen that wrinkle all yr

BeddieKU23 said:

The refs are about as expected. Dont know their job

Did you see the refs in the previous game? looool

At least we don't have Higgins. I imagine he's at the hotel bar trying to pick someone up by now.

DanR said:

Well, Frank had Tharpe to compete against. Compared to... looks down the bench... Chuck

I"m making the point that Frank wasn't finishing those contested layups until his Jr./Sr year. Dotson is hitting those at a pretty good pace.

It was one of the worst-officiated games I've seen. Really bad.

D Mac hurt?

Guys Zion scored

Crimsonorblue22 said:

D Mac hurt?

was just too sped up

@Bwag gotcha. Announcers just mentioned that Dotson was one of the better performing and playing time frosh.
I agree he's making the tough layups better than Mason did for a couple of years.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

D Mac hurt?

Looking lost. WVU bigs too much for him.

Mitch is doing a good job, too.

Dunk?

Not younger fran

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Mitch is doing a good job, too.

Mitch is playing damn well so far yeah.

still just one dunk on the year, Dedric. That one didn't count

That would have been dedrics 3rd dunk of the year

did I miss one?

Refs always call traveling on Dedric. Any KU opp gets away with that move all day.

kJ is older

DanR said:

did I miss one?

He dunked against Baylor and marquette

Garret plz

So neither team could defend now both offenses are going braindead. Logical.

Not much of a bounce off

DanR said:

I remember complaining about Frank in Fr/So years driving to score instead of driving to dish, primarily because he couldn't finish. Though he did pick up fouls...

BShark said:

slow feet?

OK, Garrett. Stop shooting

FWIW - with Purdue's loss, looks like a path for KU to slide into a 3 seed IF they win the next two.

Why Garrett

Dang

Dave not pushed in back there?

Refs are not calling fouls. Physical game. Mitch is playing big down there. Hard assignment. Dave's energy is good. Hope he can come up huge for us.

No one guarding Garrett

Get him out

I really liked Dotson and Grimes inside-out approach. Keep driving and attacking.

Garrett had the right idea on the fourth possession, kick it out instead of forcing something. Ochai has to hit that

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Get him out

The stats lately with Garrett in the line-up vs out are alarming. Might have to bump a thread...

Woulda thought by now we'd practice shooting

I find myself cringing when Ochai comes in. Same for Chuck.

If the alternative wasn't Charlie Moore I'm not sure Garrett would be playing a ton right now.

stoptheflop said:

yeah, I really wish he could find his swag again.

Hello offense. Anyone there?

Oh no Duke hasn't made a 3

Garrett's missed layup and a bad lob are hurting us.

flop

woooof

Come on ochai

@stoptheflop it does make you think that if it can happen to Agbaji who not long ago was the golden child, maybe Grimes and Chucky have much more potential than what they have shown.

At least he missed 1

McCormack needs to step up.

OK, that three point foul against us has to be the worst call of the year, right? Not seeming like it was right.

My God CALL A FOUL

Oh good a Grimes mid-range j

Grimes 0-47 on the fadeaway this yr

lol ok sure

Lol your shit mccabe

dylans said:

McCormack needs to step up.

agreed. Dedric's game is not speed and force. He'll get sped up and awkward. We need Dave in a big way here. Mitch too.

Ochai make a layup

Ochai is struggling mightily

Big Dave with the wild arms

Six players have scored for WV. Only three for us.

we've missed at least 6 layups smh

Hey, refs got an out of bounds call right!

Look at it again Fran you tool

Piss off Franny

Bull shit Fran....use your eyes, not your heart

Huggy ball is mug and gun...foul much and often, the refs can't call it every time.

If only KU could shoot...

More luck

Give me a break guys.

Wtf

Is Culver's head below his belt?

Looks like a Flagrant and one knee on the clanked layup by Grimes. Whatever

Go pound sand refs

Poor baby

wwhere was the foul on Lawson shot?

Huh?

When Dave figures out how to move as fast as he moves and not travel he's going to be unstoppable.

That's a travel? I guess

Playing like this will get ya beat

Nice feed...comeon, walks are off the charts

WVU can't miss

Need to feed it inside

He missed the layup anyway

Efficiency of movement is not Dave's game

Ku 32% FG-6/19; WV 60%-10/16.

If we could run something that resembles an offense, that'd be great. We cant get down big, we buckle when that happens.

Got a kick out of the huge midcourt banner ad "EIGHT NET TOP 50 TEAMS." A not-so-subtle message from the Big XII to the NCAA tournament committee, not to mention the national media. .

What's the opposite of subliminal advertising?

@stoptheflop we're lucky to not be down more

West Virginia has made a few tough shots. The turnaround last possession and the step-back by McCabe. I don't think our defense has been too bad actually.

But our offense sucks.

WVU shooting 63%. KU 1 of their last 11....

Haven't had any baskets from ochai, Marcus, mitch, Dave. Cant afford it

@BShark all layups except Ochai's clank and Grimes shot put from the free throw line

WVU FGs: 5 OF LAST 5
KU FGs: 1 OF LAST 11

whoo hoo!

Omg he was way out of bounds

Complete stupid

There's a knucklehead fan moaning like a baby. I had to doublecheck the baby monitor.

Mitch might be the hero we need.

I will shut up now.

Ahhhhhh

Zebras go croak

15 points in 5 minutes and then...

Bill, looking down the bench. That's all you got, Bill. Chuck.

Bill is coaching up Souza or Teahan, I'm not sure which.

Now we are calling tick tacks???

WVU can do w/e they want to Lawson, won't be called.

Charlie Moore's awesomeness continues to shine

Their bigs are good passers.

Good job, Dave

Someone seems to have watched tape on how easy Texas got the ball to their bigs with entry passes.

Dedric has been bad today.

Yes!

Grimes might just realize he's one of the more talented guys on the floor

Some walking on their end too

Q is doing good things! I think finding himself on the drive has started to loosen up the trey ball deep freeze.

Big time shot Grimes

approxinfinity said:

Dedric has been bad today.

He's been fouled a fair bit but that's been a regular thing. The fact is when you dare refs to call it all the time odds are they won't.

Not sure he's suppose to be dble teaming though?

Good little run, they'll cool off

We cut it to 2 with Moore and Garrett and Grimes playing. I'll take it.

@BShark a lot lately

Where is Dotson?

Also West traveled on that drive.

I can never tell with Dedric. I thought he was awful yesterday in the first half. Stats were good though.

Well if we survive a 1-10 shooting stretch and not be down 20, I think our D is pretty good.

@BShark He's so much like Perry in that regard. Just wants to be a finesse guy, can hang with the physical game for a while but it wears him out, he can't be focal point in a physical game, should be a garbage man until the other team ignores him.

kjayhawks said:

Good little run, they'll cool off

Yeah maybe WVU will miss some shots eventually.

jeeeeeeeeeeeeez woof sequence

We dont rebound

To much blocking

Devon is only going to get more lethal in transition. Another year of Hudy, another year of learning how to hit the body then finish a la Frank.

Knapper sucks

Frank didn't have a mentor either, Fran

Yes!

How 'bout that grimes kid.

Listened to the sports talk guys this morning after Texas lost. Done with Shaka as are most fans. Problem is the AD.

I am officially on the Grimes Reincarnation bandwagon.

Q!!!!

Wow

W v walked!

nut shot

Hit him in the jewels

RockChalkinTexas said:

Money issue in play I believe. Would be expensive to fire.

Q!!!!

TOURNAMENT GRIMES????!

Mr. March Grimes

Q-pid slinging arrows tonight

Malik Grimes

That day I sat by Les Miles in church.....

Garrett on Mathews is a match up I like one on one

Runs! Our turn

@wissox is he a church farter?

Nice Marcus! Giving them the poison sampler tonight

Grimes has changed this game

Marcus has more unph tonight

Might be feeling that 3rd game?

BeddieKU23 said:

Grimes has changed this game

All it takes is having to respect the 3pt shot and it opens things up.

Love the last play btw, drew up the lob, WVU denied it so Garrett took the opening.

@DanR Didn't notice

unholy ghosts?

This game is all about 2nd chances and new beginnings. Grimes vs the entire West Virginia team.

Marcus!!!!!!

There's a reason Fran is not coaching

@DanR x1000000

⚰️

QG! Feeling it!

OKAY Q

Omg

Congratulations Bill. You've raised Quentin Grimes from the dead.

Onions

Grimes feeling it all of a sudden

By golly, we could hit 100.

GRIMES!!

Somebody's been watching old video of Svi!

Guess who's booty popping in the living room, this guy. That last run was all by underclassmen folks

Remember when we were complaining we couldnt score. That didnt age well

Grimes also has 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. I like this Grimes.

BeddieKU23 said:

Super weird game. Offense was legit amazing the first 5 and last 5 minutes of the half. Basically did nothing in the middle 10.

Bill, we're actually ahead on boards, 18-16.

I could do without seeing Chuck much. He is a lost cause and waste of paper.

We're 6-10 from 3 and hit 10-10 free throws. Scoring is fun.

Michigan St Q for the rest of the season please.

I'd rather see Teahan. He can at least sink a shot and make better choices.

This team has a high ceiling. Imagine what the half time score would be if Dedric played closer to average Dedric ball, and Ochai found a little bit of swag back.

FT's 10/10 and one more 3 the difference in the game...+2 on RB's too... and -1 on TO's...

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Michigan St Q for the rest of the season please.

I'll take it. He just came alive those last 2-3 mins. It looked good and felt good too.

Great Shooting by Q! And Marcus finally got some of those drives to result in baskets.

Chuck's single function is to give Dotson a breather.

How great would it be to see an equal second half here and win this one by 16?

Can the halftime crew take over for our game please?

I witnessed something unusual today at the UW game. During timeouts a guy in a Nebraska shirt stood with his back to the huddle staring at the Badgers huddle the entire time. UW had a guy in a suit, not quite as intently staring, but generally stared right back at the Nebraska guy, every timeout.

approxinfinity said:

Oh come one...Now you're just being silly! :)

@KirkIsMyHinrich double thumbs up. Those two guys are better than Fran and dish*t

@KirkIsMyHinrich I hope seeing his shot go through will open the rim so wide, he can't miss the remainder of the post season. We sure need someone to step up way more like Graham. We all know Grimes has to be the one.

BeddieKU23 said:

May it be dead and buried

@truehawk93 He's on the Malik Newman trajectory.

@approxinfinity that is one positive going forward, I'm not sure this team has played great or as good as they can for more than a few minutes.

@tundrahok Fine, but keep the ball out of his hands. Limit his touches. He did nothing last night. He just doesn't play much to do much. Self needs to tell him to handle and distribute. Do not shoot unless he has a clear path to the rim for a guaranteed layup.

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

@truehawk93 He's on the Malik Newman trajectory.

Please be so...

Wv looks tired, 3rd game in 3 night both nail biters. Let's jump on them here and see if Teahan can hit a 3.

I wanted to make a pic of Fran Fraschilla with a black cape and fangs and call it Fransylvania but I'm on a computer that apparently has problems with Flash. Oh well. I've been trained to ignore Duke half time BS.

@truehawk93 I agree 100%. He's just the only one who can give Dotson a rest. I would be thrilled with a neutral impact by Chuck.

kjayhawks said:

He has a sweet stroke. Maybe better than his brother.

@truehawk93 hes shooting 40% for the year, best on the team without Vicks 45%.

Everytime QG releases, it looks like money. His stroke is so pure.

Hilarious at the end of the LSU Florida game, the score was 73-70 Florida, 24 seconds left. LSU inbounds, the guard lets it roll up the floor waiting to touch it. All of a sudden Florida guard dives on the ball before LSU has even touched it. LSU managed to get a held ball out of it which led to a game tying 3, before Florida won it on a buzzer beater.

@truehawk93 this game agreed, good elevation on his jumper. looks great.

Indiana in the first four out. Should have come to KU, Langford.

Yeah, I understand that logic, but I've always wondered why players don't do that very thing. Its so stupid to do that because it can backfire too easily.

My favorite thing is when they roll it up the court and then finally pick it up and dribble for 3 or 4 seconds

DanR said:

haha...just pick it up and hold it for 3-4 secs...not sure what the thinking is on that particular strategy.

ESPN is so stupid they can't even get their boxscores right. It says we've made 10-10 FT's and Grimes is 5-5 on 3's.

Wonder what Konuts is going to do this half? Think Huggy plays him? Even if he does, he will be so off his game, he will either foul out or re-injure.

wissox said:

I mean April Fools is a couple weeks away right?

If Grimes carries us to the final four (like Newman last year), I'm OK with him going pro

DanR said:

He will likely go on potential alone. But his year has been so inconsistent. I think most NBA scouts will likely let him test, but doubt he'll impress much.

Q made that happen.

If I saw Grime going in for a layup, I'd be ready to dunk the miss. If I was 6-10

Culver looks like this guy https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7890800/?ref_=nm_mv ↗

You can see Big Dave's confidence growing by the minute.

I really like Big Mac on the line. He is no Doke.

Keep feeding Big Mac...

"David Lawson"

Go home Franny, you are drunk

We have the players.

WVU is trash. How in the hell did they beat TT?

Walk

one handed running shot put shot with touch

Dave is killing it with the swag! Nice entry pass big man!

Get the ball in to dedric that close, you can forget about stopping him

Is it me or is Harler a hack?

Dumb

Should Doke be playing again next year the bigs on this team.....

Inexperience? Didn't see it!

Dang...Big Mac attack

@wissox be gone

They need to attack the rim and foul WVU out. They are on their heels.

wissox said:

And if we somehow get Desousa back.....

Dotson sees he's one on three and goes for it. Love it.

Let's crush them

Looks like they ve done that a million times

We'll probably see chuck and KJ for a little spark off the bench here pretty soon

Dedric McCormack is looking damn good out there.

@KirkIsMyHinrich David Lawson is racking up some points too

I seriously don't remember Fran ever being THIS bad with player names. It's been rough all game...

Go for the kill and don't let up...I wouldn't have a problem with an EJ dunk with 10 sec left either...sorry...I loved that little exclamation point against ISU. Kinda dick-ish but at the time, seemed liked the thing to do.

Franny has seen KU at least 15 times this year. I have no idea what his problem is except he doesn't care

@BShark he's got isu on his mind

@BShark

Rusty, he had to sit at the bar last night pissed at shaka

BShark said:

I don't know if you were listening, but during the KState/Iowa St game he described a foul in the post as "just two dinosaurs banging." He's been all over the map tonight.

Can OA recover and get a second wind?

Huggy put his offensive lineman in

OH MY

Sweetness

BeddieKU23 said:

Dedric found his lane. Calm and deadly.

@approxinfinity nice set up by d dot

Mathews used up all his mojo last night

Air🏀🏀🏀🏀

Need Ochai going

@Crimsonorblue22 beautiful. I like that this is a young team we're playing against. Our guys are out to punk these kids.

@Crimsonorblue22 he's been quiet

On line

Prison Mitch is on the loose

Now don't go giving up the lead

Off his🗣

Come on fellas foot on throat

Dotson wyd

Ochai

I like that Ochai. Didn't worry about it not being a 3, confident jumper.

Chuck!

OMG, charlie

Charlie, on the other hand, has too much confidence...

I can't handle him

Not great info from Holly here.

Why charlie

Charlie Moore looks and plays like a turtle that lost its shell.

Isn't a lob pretty much like a shot, not a heave into the 16th row?

BeddieKU23 said:

Why charlie

Because Self thought up 18 what could go wrong with him in the game. ;)

Both of our lobs to Ochai have been way off tonight.Like we're trying to get him going at Bill's direction but not coming naturally (one D Dot early, now this one by Chuck)

I really feel bad I'm so mean to him, but golly!

And there's the Chuck we all know and love lol. We are trying too hard to get on sportscenter right now. Dot dribbling over his head and a air mail lob. Lets get back to playing sound guys.

Do you think they will cut this game to debut the Zion body cam

Was that just a high dribble not a carry?

@approxinfinity he was open for the oops both times, so the play is working ok

KJ hasn't done much the last few times he's been in.

@Crimsonorblue22 It was above his head, you can't get away with that.

Interesting article on Garrett

I don't think even Wiggins could have caught that lob.

Gonna be a corn shortage in KC with all the ISU fans hanging around

They whole dang town of Ames huh?

Stealing minutes right now lmao.

Did mitch dye his hair black?

Mitch slapped ♥️

double dribble chuck

If mitch gets a tattoo and grows a beard in the offseason I'll lose it

@BeddieKU23 I think he ought to warm up wearing one of the fake sleave shirts and a beard

Mitch!

Mitch is making our junk squad look not so junky.

Mitch

Wheeling & Dealing

Mitch has unbelievable instincts to block alter shots

Serioiusly, WVU can't score over Mitch. He's in their heads

3 3 3 3 yes

This group is handling things pretty, I'd keep them in as long as its 15 plus. Keep Garrett, Dedric, David and Dot resting.

kjayhawks said:

We'll have to weather the wax tomorrow. I'm glad we can rest the starters.

Would like to see Q take command here and get a couple buckets. That is, if Charlie allows him to touch the ball.

Guess the trail of KSUcks tears goes west on I-70.😀😀😀😀

Absolutely gross. Q passes to Charlie, Charlie launches unguarded NBA range 3.

Charlie with the heat check

Ochai was just smoke screen for wanting to yank Charlie. ;)

Bill has seen enough :joy:

I don't think we're going to hit 100

BShark said:

Bill has seen enough :joy:

And then that happened!

WTF was that Garrett just take the ball, we forget how to play on the bench? Let's go I want a Teahan 3 damn it.

Anyone want to bet on how many minutes Charlie will play in the tournament? I'm going to bet 2 in the first game. Thats it.

I know Dot needs some rest once in a while, but can't Garrett play point and just have Charlie run back and forth on the baseline?

The worst thing for expecting any shot discipline from Charlie was him watching Grimes' shot go in at the end of the first half.

we had a big lead in Morgantown too

Cramp?

Oh no

oh no.

looks like a cramp. I get those when I'm sleeping one in a while.

NOOOOOOOO

SHIT

Uh oh.

Serious

Cramp?

alright. cramp.

That's a foul, the rules say the shooter has to have room to land. He land on WV players foot.

Good game Grimey! Hope that's it for tonight.

Ochai still has some hops. Nice pass by big dave

Textbook Bill Self offense

Back in control.

Not former! Once a Jayhawk........

Dedric was clearly hit on the arm there... Not that it matters now but...

David can really pass

Dedrick deserved POY

@tundrahok you are! I turned around at a game and Sherron was right there and he was, hey how u doing? Like we knew each other.

Perfect!

YOWSAH!

@Crimsonorblue22 That's awesome. It was just my second game in person in the past 20 years, my first time at the Sprint Center. I had a blast. Pretty cool venue.

Walk

Love the scoring distro between the big 3

DLaw - 20

Dotson - 13

Grimes - 18

This looks like great balance for a great post-season. All others will be icing.

when you live on a mountain you do a lot of walking, apparently.

Ochai just hung around the rim and waited for that lob

@approxinfinity uphill or downhill

Teahan tried to kill Fran

That's how you get 'r done.

Chuck, ball 🐖

typical ending for Chuck, smh

Woot

Without Mathew's 30, WVU got nuthin

Big runs

They are very good when engaged. They had a rough stretch where, if you believe whisperings, Prohm lost the team.

@Bwag never heard that one

@Crimsonorblue22 it's hard for me to both keep up with you all while trying to watch the game. But am glad I tried it today. Balance helps us so much and takes pressure off shooters.

I would love to see Grimes go all EJ for 40 against ISU and decimate the clowns.

@RockChalkinTexas it's easier on 20 pt games and typos r ok

Let me guess, Roy still had 3 timeouts at the end of the Duke-NC game.

@Crimsonorblue22 But he has to watch us and that's better!!!!

PERIMETER D, DAMMIT !

Grimes filled up the stat sheet...that's great. Lets keep seeing that.

Well still alive on my prediction of us winning this championship - -Now Iowa State - would of rather played K-State- -- -but you have to play whoever - - just got to go out and take care of business/

Really glad to see Quentin come around - tonight some more - - -hope he isn't hurt. - - Really gonna have to get after it cause Iowa State spreads you out so much. -looking and hoping possibly that Ochai busted loose maybe from his slump - - we can hope. - -Can you imagine if Quentin starts to bust loose some more - - Obaji - -breaks out of his slump - - and Dave continues to play fairly soil -that would be very nice - -Well lets go out and like the new motto says " - -TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS " - -gonna be a war. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think it says Kansas stats

@dylans yeah! I'm blind

We out rebounded them by 10 - - that's a good job after the way they pounded Tech on the boards

@Crimsonorblue22 took me a bit lol

And paranoid

@dylans I just realized that. Trying to read on my crappy phone.

Grimes REALLY got after it on the boards tonight. Hope he will be okay.

@BShark cramp?

@dylans Appears to have been yeah.

I just hope he gives full effort like that again, and he isn't worried about getting hurt.

Think we end up with Higgins tomorrow?

I think there is a good chance we can get a 3 seed and have a chance to play in KC again if we can pull it off tomorrow. Everyone outside of KU fans will cry but I think you have to reward not only the best SOS but the most quad 1 wins.

@RockChalkinTexas Earlier today the schedule at http://www.big12sports.com ↗ listed WVU vs Texas for tonight's game.

That wasn't just tired eyes.

Hopefully Ochai's 9 in the second half gives him some confidence back. Moore shooting 28% from the floor and 26% from 3 this season. I honestly thought he'd start early in the year over Dot but man for a guy was supposed to be a scorer thats disappointing.

If KU moved to the 3 line, they'd have to jump both Texas Tech and Houston to stay in KC. It might be more advantageous to KU to be the top 4 seed so they could be in KC that way.

@Bwag Those 8 rebounds by Grimes are the most important stat of the night. Great to see.

@HighEliteMajor Grimes also had 4 assists and 4 steals. Great all around.

@tundrahok Exactly - the activity we were all wanting. Man, he was feeling it at the end of the first half. After hitting a couple threes he was begging for the ball, but we went inside. That was right before he hit the long three to end the half. I sure hope we have him next season.

@HighEliteMajor I think we will see him next year. I think he and Coach Self have a good relationship. After he came out with that cramp, did you see Coach Self come over and say something to him that made him laugh?

Grimes has strong family support, and the wise move for his long-term future would be to stay another year to play under the tutelage of a hall-of-fame coach.

Remember Svi's first couple of years? Everybody described what a sweet stroke he had, and how he nailed shots from outside in practice with a high percentage. But we rarely saw that in games.Then he matured, got tough and confident, and was fantastic by his senior year.

Grimes is sort of like that, but hopefully we're starting to see the toughness and confidence already. We probably won't get him for 4 years (Svi was what, 16 when he came to KU?), but I bet he'll be back next year. And I bet he'll be good.

@HighEliteMajor He still has a ton of work to do in a very very short amount of time if he's not coming back. I haven't seen him projected to get picked in a few months.

YA I think this is the 1st time all season I saw him getting after rebounds like he did last night all year - -hope he stays like that the rest of the eyar. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I was thinking the same thing about Oahai's slump last night. Maybe just enough in the 2nd half to let him see the ball going through the hole again, we could sure use him - I think he might be coming. - - Could you imagine if we could get him and Grimes both going again and the improvement of McCormack Dave no double digits last night but still got 8 rebounds - - - -have a healthy Marcus for defensive purposes - -would for sure help out in the coming days. - -ROCK CHALK LL DAY LONG BABY

Now it says today's game is Big 12 vs. Iowa State. Somebody at Big 12 sports seems to have a problem with KU.

http://www.big12sports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&SPID=13134&SPSID=106110 ↗

Our streak may have ended this year, but win tonight and the streak of winning regular season or conference tourney streak continues!

Can't rewrite history but if Self had this core group to develop from the start of the season I can only imagine. Undeniably less wins early but this team is congealing AND having fun...seeing the return of the chest bump last night was icing on the cake.

Just doing some thinking this morning - -ya I know that can be very dangerous for me - - - - however sitting here thinking - -MAN we as ( KU fans ) - Are sooooo spoiled.

I mean let think about this - - after all that has happened this year - - -Doke out for the season - -- -Silvio being ruled ineligible - - -Vick leaving - - - -Garrett out for some time - - - and yet to think we were still in this Conference race in the last week , as bad of a year we had - to think we were still RIGHT there in the final week -- One game more likely then not cost us at least a share of the Conference Championship - - West Virginia.

For sure ( KU ) fans are spoiled beyond belief - -some snifflers - - some others needing to change their last name to Whiner - -I mean if you stop and think about it - here we sit at 25-8 - the 14th straight year with at least 25 wins - - - like they were saying there are many teams always happy to have 20 wins a season - -and here we are constantly having a good shot aiming at 30.

Yet here we are - 25 - -8 - -and at the worst we end up 25-10 - more realistically really good chance we looking at 27 & 10. - but yet we'll have people saying what a disappointing season - -this was -this season was a failure - - and I'll say WHAT THE HELL - -how many teams - - schools would LOVE to have that king of Season? -- Spoiled - -no other way to say it. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I like being spoiled.

And as for the Fabulous Mr. Grimes...
He looked more engaged last night. Happy to see that.
The day I see him even attempt to dunk on one of his weak ass drives to the hole...he’ll have turned the corner.

@tundrahok you got me with the Grimes - Svi progression comp. Never occurred to me. Great thought!

@approxinfinity I suspect they don't have McDonald's All-Ukrainians, but Svi also came in with quite a bit of hype, for a foreign kid. We weren't sure about him for a while, but he turned out pretty well. I'm still optimistic for Grimes.
