I guess Chuck's finally out of the rotation. Will he even get mop up minutes?
I assumed he got in b/c KJ got in. Guess not. Good. KJ deserves non-Chuck-accompanied minutes.
Thats a foul.
@Fightsongwriter Get in line buddy! No. the line STARTS here points to back of line
j/k j/k
its a bandwagon, not a line.
He can though.
jinx
Big Dave can shoot freethrows.
Devon went after that rebound when no one else would.
Let's try that again. Halftime stats.

@approxinfinity Huggins was not happy when he heard the freethrow ratio was 35-3
ha! thats right.
Let me try that again .Sorry guys lol... I coached my 7 year olds team at 10:30 until my voice gave out. Then did the box score at my 9 year olds playoff game, yelling my ass off.... middle aged moment :)
lolol
Umm
wrong year, doh.
Halftime stats.

@approxinfinity I barely use twitter, but I just found medcalf and tweeted meanly at him. It felt kind of good!
lol its a slippery slope my friend.. feel the dark side!

@wissox I'm thinking that if Devon somehow would stay here for 4 years, he might end up being our best guard ever.
:100:
Let's just win out and get back in the discussion for a 2 seed. Not saying it will happen. But this team could do it.
Joe "Magic Bracket Goblin" Lunardi. It's that time of year... ooh, exciting!
KUSTEVE said:
Did I hear Frannie right...that he thinks we're going to go a long way in the tournament? Ok, what the hell is going on...did hell freeze over?
He's been spoken to, I'm sure. I'd be interested in how that went down.

@approxinfinity that was my pt about we will keep d dot
Gotcha, I've been in and out ,havent been able to follow game thread.. Hanging with the baby on the floor atm.
Someone must have talked to Fran. All these compliments, and then he says stuff like "devon is so good he could even play at Duke" and shows his true colors.
Really like Dave's minutes so far. Team looks relaxed and focused.

What's frustrating is there's no way to complain to ESPN. If Walmart screws up I go to the customer service counter and let them have it. ESPN gives no way to complain. I want to complain about ESPN's Duke player power rankings. Have ya'll seen that? Myron Medcalf, but there's no way to send him a message that I can find to tell him why that column is example 1A of ESPN bias. No outlet for our frustrations. I could drive to connecticut and complain I guess. OK, we're finally watching, we've missed a point a minute Jayhawks.
Tweeting with some hashtags like #hateduke #espnblows #dukiebias etc might be your best option.
Let's go! Looking good!
@HighEliteMajor I'd give it about a 50% chance we have both for 2. We really needed SDS next year. These guards are on a trajectory to be good enough to go league without a title run.
Thanks guys. @jaybate-1-0 is often in my thoughts @Fightsongwriter.
Devon is my current favorite.
Frank will always be the first player whose game I really loved. And this is probably why Devon is my favorite. Devon's last game was 100% vintage Frank Mason. He did all the things, capped by getting to the line repeatedly down the stretch and calmly eviscerating TCU. It was captivating and unstoppable.
After the Dark Ages at point guard (Naadir, preceded by Tyshawn and EJ), plus having to start 4 Freshman his first year, Frank's evolution was the Renaissance. The light came back on. The head was restored. Coherent play returned. Lobs, drives and kicks, 40% trey balling. Frank touched our withered playbook and made it green again. The 4-1 became possible. And when Frank left us, the continuity was not broken when Devonte took the reins.
And when that ended without an understudy, I feared the worst. But Devon came. And saw. And conquered. What a freshman PG! WHAT A FRESHMAN PG! Without the tutelage of Frank and Devonte, he has managed to achieve everything I would hope he'd achieve with them still here.
And the chain remains unbroken, miraculously. When Vick left, it seems to me that this was the moment that @drgnslayr mentioned. Devon's coronation. The King has returned. Long live our young PG King! He did not disappoint! On Monday, Devon wielding his vorpal blade as it went snicker-snack, the Frogs fell before him, and could do nothing to stop him except perish underfoot.
But Agbaji, Agbaji is not of this lineage. His lineage seems lost in time now, a distant epoch, maybe harking all the way back to BRush, or maybe further, maybe he is something we have never seen at Kansas. I haven't quite figured out where he falls among the stars. A 6'5 wing with a 40% trey gun, tough defender, excellent hops and athleticism, intelligence, and perhaps what might separate him is his maximum effort and competitiveness. This separates him from the Xaviers and Oubres and Wiggins. If there is not greatness in this kid then count me in as one of the fooled. I believe we have a better Brandon Rush on our hands. And that is tremendously exciting as a floor. But, this is a tale that has yet to unfold.
Whereas with Devon I see what he is, I know what he is, and it comforts me that we have a ball dominant lead guard that can control a game like he controlled the game Monday.
The future is now! I want to see what these kids can do the rest of this reason. Must see TV!

But I could be wrong
lol :muscle:
I enjoyed the last game thread. Everyone is a known commodity and I dont think the negativity was excessive. Just as this team learns to trust each other in crunch time with a big win, we too should learn to trust this team.
Assistant Coach Matthew Mcconaughey will inspire them, I'm sure :rolling_eyes:
@mayjay only two words brought us back from certain defeat... Kay. Jay.
We still all convinced we got Devon next year? He was Frank part 2 tonight.
DanR said:
Dotson played the entire 45 minutes? Dude
Get that kid some ice? Hard fall too
Devon Dotson:
Okay, Max Legroom. You get yours. Meanwhile, Iām gonna go Hayden Pantiniere on TCU. Especially when they get froggy!
TCU:
Ribbit. Ribbit.
Dotson just needs a flat top now. #BIDD
@bshark actually you know what Q should be the corner 3 on the drive and kick. He can catch and shoot passed straight at his chest like the one he made
@BShark how do we get him to dribble once before he shoots? Not fixing the catch and shoot until the off-season.
James Harden sidestep is ruining basketball. Joke travel.

@approxinfinity My last comment was on one person. "Game over" he proclaimed when we were losing by 4 with 2:30 left. It was directed at him mainly. He's been doing it all year. To his credit it looks like he left the thread at that point, as did I because I was pretty pissed at people quitting on this team. I kept watching. Great win. Amazing win! I'm pumped.
All good brother! Rock chalk!
Hey our All American wasn't good! We won! More Ochai please! Less Q catch and shoot. We have a higher ceiling. Good win.
David IS Goliath!
That was a good block. F everyone lol . Love it!
He got the ball
Devon likes his frogs medium rare.
I got my nose too much in this phone lol
Haha Dave!
Did you see that?
Clock didn't start!
