Ref took a charge.
Nice beard, Chris.
@BShark Fascinating chart. What jumps out to me the most is Christian Braun is under-used. The upper left part of the chart is where you have a high offensive rating but low usage. Christian is up there with Brady, Travis, and Tyrel. We've seen him have some good games, but he needs to be consistently more aggressive on offense. We need it.
Thanks for the goosebumps! I played trumpet in my youth (1980s), and In the Stone was a blast to play. Just lean back and wail. Never for the basketball band, but elsewhere. I've lost my chops, but every few years I get out the trumpet (when nobody else is home) and blast away, and that's one that makes my very short list of parts I remember.

A PG that can shoot and facilitate would change this team. It would have changed this current team
It would change any team!
Garrett made a 3!
Only K-State would make masks out of plastic. Keep those germs in!
@Crimsonorblue22 Hope he doesn't swallow it!
If you stop guarding 3-pointers, eventually they will get one.
2nd steal by Harris, nice.
Got the next one.
Bill Self must be giddy. Best defensive half of the year! Offense is fools gold...

Marcus hasn't made a 3 in months
Hey, he was 2-2 from 3 on January 30 vs Tenn....and 0-10 since.
Jalen looked pissed.
Dave fouled out.
@Crimsonorblue22 Another buddy shared the link.
@nwhawkfan Not a rug?
Last game was decent
I like being up 30.
Bill has only gone 7 deep. Tightened the roster early.
Even the announcers get Braun and Mitch confused. Must be the haircuts.
We had the toughest non-conference schedule, and our conference schedule has been even tougher.
@DCHawker So here's a breakdown of the teams with the five most-challenging college basketball nonconference schedules based on the eye test.
Kansas.
Gonzaga.
Notre Dame.
Villanova.
Kentucky.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, she just laughed at me. I know her pretty well and she's quite cool. She knew I was horrified and just teased me a bit.
I saw that too, pretty funny. My worst mishap was accidentally leaving Zoom on when I ran to take a shower before a student meeting. Came back to get dressed and heard a noise from my laptop. She showed up early. As I slammed down the lid on the laptop, my career flashed before my eyes. Fortunately she only saw a naked leg, below the knee. Could have been much, much worse. Crisis narrowly averted! I learned an important lesson: close programs, keep the webcam shuttered, and pay attention.
I remember Self talking about false positives from testing. But I thought re-testing confirmed they were false.
@Crimsonorblue22 -25 ambient, -39 windchill.
Braun's 3rd foul
Fran is funny. Sometimes he actually makes some astute observations, but I'm always ready to be annoyed at something he says.
@approxinfinity said in Huggy Bonus Game Thread:
@BeddieKU23 it never crossed my mind that we might not make the tournament until your post. That's a bitter pill. Its possible we don't make it. We have the talent to make it with that schedule, if we play well. I guess we will see.
What a better time to reset all the streaks than a force or nature out of our control.? We didn't piss our consecutive tourney and top 25 streaks away with too many team cancer OADs, or mass vacations to the league, we held the line! It took a plague to take us down, and there is no shame in that, but maybe there is a weight off our shoulders, off Bill's shoulders, and an opportunity to turn over new leaves and renew our vows as dedicated fans of Kansas basketball.
Thanks for that perspective. "It took a plague to take us down, and there is no shame in that." I'm embracing it. If it has to happen, this is the year for it, when everything in the world is weird.
Oregon's floor is awful!
@Kcmatt7 Yes, but they might do something different if our best defensive player didn't have to run the offense too.
Teahan can foul and hit a 3
Marcus is playing out of position and the point responsibility on offense is hurting his defense.
@approxinfinity I'd say point guard is the weakest link. We don't have anybody who would do better than Marcus. Jalen is a nice idea, but unlikely really to be an improvement.
Wilson took Dave's rebound. Wanted it more.
Get a rebound.
We lured them into complacency!
He looked really cool.
Memorably horrible pass.
@benshawks08 Me too.
Gotta make the layup
@approxinfinity I think your last point is key. The ball needs to move. Dave doesn't need to have fewer touches for everybody else to have more.
@Crimsonorblue22 Is that claw a hard cast?
Saw him almost get tackled by Ochai after Tehan's shot. Made me nervous
@Crimsonorblue22 I dunno, he gave up and just pulled down to yell
@Crimsonorblue22 His mask, fabric sucking in and blowing out
@Texas-Hawk-10 Looks like he has trouble breathing through that thing
