Self mentioned it's good for the sport to get eyes on them with games like this when football is consuming. Agree with him that there are plenty of benefits to a game like this.

Healthy too. He was hurt a bunch last yr. We need him to stay this way because he's just too good
It also helps the draft class is down but he is certainly impressing the NBA scouts right now. He's been superb
Kev getting some looks as a possible first round pick right now
If the benefit of playing Elmarko 32 minutes in a game like that pans off later in the season for him and for the team overall then I'm also okay with it.
Yupp cried like a baby watching this

Clingan is more athletic then Hunter at 7'2 and has better lateral movement as well. He can run the floor on the fast break at times as well so it's something to watch. He's also a threat defensively at the rim. Tough matchup for both our bigs tonight
That was a good matchup of talented bigs. I thought that block was legit by Hunter, yet the whistle blew.
Me too. Hunter definitely won the battle and our defensive game plan limited his touches which was huge. Big props to Hunter for battling down low
Definitely a good win. I'll enjoy it
Do you got the winning PowerBall numbers while your at it?
Thanks KJ
So lucky
I can't with Juan tonight
Sit him
They really brought the energy that 4. Gotta finish with the same
Well deserved
Joke
How
Juan you need to step up man
Man our offense has stunk. I don't get it
Hasn't been in either since a freshman foul for not moving the feet. Hope he gets some minutes
Nope
Very predictable start
Vomit
1-6
Wow Juan you really let them back into it
Unreal
Thought the same
Come on elmarko
Awful call but kev lowered the shoulder and I think that's all that mattered to the ref
How many of these are they gonna make
What a crowd
Alright alright

They have a very good 7 footer so someone to legitimately give Hunter a hard time down low. They brought back a few other key starters from the title team, added a guard transfer from Rutgers that has fit well and is scoring for them. They play hard, they know what they are doing and I don't see too many weaknesses from them considering all the talent that did leave from that title squad. They also have a very good freshman that he has been hurt but apparently will return tonight and he's a projected lottery pick so far.
All to say, they have an equal to better roster with legitimate NBA talent at guard and in the post. It's a tough matchup
Reverse good luck charm
Even if it does light a fire and even if the Allen Fieldhouse has an impact it may not compensate for the fact Uconn looks the better team, they look further along in Chemistry and Level of play so far.
This is their first true road game though & UConn has not faced as many good teams as KU has already. We'll see. Hopefully the guys and Self find a way
We'll have to the play the opposite of Tuesday to win tonight. I'm sure Self lit a fire into this group in the last 2 days.
Big game, we usually rise to the occasion especially at home. I would be a bit surprised if we win tonight but I'm hopeful they do.
Took Juan 38:54 to score. Ha
Get a stop here and bucket and call it a day
Ok shooting foul
It was not a good pass
Thanks KJ
Good foul KJ cannot shoot
5 missed layups at least from kev
Over 30 pts again for that Dillingham/Sheppard combo
KJ not being a threat to even look at the basket
Kev must be under the weather still
So many luck shots tonight
Boy making shots sure is hard tonight
Lol
