Dang, I caught the first few minutes where we didn’t look so good, then had band practice all afternoon. wish I could have watched the comeback kids do their thing in the second half. But as usual… good guys win again!

@dylans @Crimsonorblue22 Wow, what a great experience! Even had we lost I would have said the same thing. The people were friendly, some good natured teasing. Some realistic fans like this is a surprise to us, you’ll probably come back.
We had seats about 4 rows from the top, strange arena with almost all the seats on the sidelines. Could see fairly well, but had to stand the whole game.
The crowd was really loud and engaged the whole time. Like really loud. Fun to experience.
After the game we were about to leave but I said I want to see in the gym once more and we noticed people hanging around and it looked like you could exit from ground court level so we went down there. CBS was still on air so I waved behind Spanarkle so I’m probably on the broadcast. (watching right now). And saw Hunter Dickinson so I said hi, told him I used to hate him when he was at Michigan because I’m also a Badger fan, but really glad he’s one of us now, because where would we be without him? Saw a few other players milling about. Then said hi to Greg Gurley, he was cool.
Went outside and there was a bus and Jayhawk people hanging around, this is about 45 minutes after the game. Talked to a few fans, then Brian Hanni came out with Gurley and me and my KU roomate whom I went with were able to chat with both of them for about 5 minutes. We didn’t know how long it would before the team would come out to the bus and had 3 hours back to Chicago so we got going.
They have horrible traffic management there and sat in a line 20 minutes making us wish we’d waited for the bus instead of sitting in miserable traffic.
Actual basketball observations. Kansas had 3 guys playing major minutes who’d played in a national championship basketball game. I think it showed in this game. They never panicked or got upset with the silly turnovers or missed bunnies.
There were a lot of strange calls both ways I thought. It almost seemed like the refs would make a call against one team that seemed strange and they’d make up for it by calling one the other way.
The bench just gave us 6 points and well that’s not enough. Kevin’s maturity showed as he got ticky tacked to foul trouble but played 38 minutes. I think he played the entire 2nd half, much of it with 4 fouls. Kevin also has shown a clutch knack knocking down 3’s in crunch time. He may be the only guy who can do that, although DaJuan is making 45% of his 3’s this year and hit some timely ones today.
Bill Self is the best and showed it today. Proud to have him as our coach.

Oh and Indiana fans boo a lot.
-
@RockChalkinTexas any chance of you shipping the treats out? Lol
-
@jayballer67 I wonder if Bill is aware of this?
-
@kjayhawks Santa would frown on that!
I posted a picture of the cookies on Twitter and @Crimsonorblue22 reposted it. It won’t allow me to post pictures on here @approxinfinity !!
Woke up and still couldn’t believe we won. I rewatched the last 11 minutes of the game this morning and I swear when Jamari came in at a little over 10:00 minutes the whole mindset of the team changed and his energy was a big factor. Hopefully he’s earned more playing time. His 3 was HUGE.

Not sure if anyone else listened to Hunter , Kevin , & juan doing their postgame or not but I hope Kevin isn’t coming down sick with the flu or possibly what KJ had last week. - - -During the whole post game Kevin just kept coughing,& Coughing- & coughing - - - -hope he isn’t coming down with the flu

But, if he is, a “good” time to get it out of the way…

I had a great time. Indiana fans are always gracious and really know the ball. It was a great atmosphere even though the students’ last day of classes was Friday. My spoiled son has been to Allen(2020 Senior Night), Rupp(last year), and now Assembly Hall.
-
Sorry guys. I will get the drag and drop pic thing working i just havent figured out if it requires a board upgrade or not.

Had kid sports this weekend and didnt get to watch the game until now. Was interested to see Timberlake play long minutes as the 2 and i guess elmarko was the 3 in the corner. Timberlake looked much more effective, was facilitating and active. Would like to see more of that.
-
Seems like this is the beginning of potentially seeing Dajuans minutes regulated if Elmarko and Timberlake can man the backcourt for short stretches

saw this posted somewhere else. KU fan didn’t have good seats.
*We wound up underneath the friggin balcony overhang about 5 rows from top. Can’t believe the arena is set up that way bcuz those seats suck. Couldn’t see the top of the scoreboard, let alone the balcony on the other side.
To compensate, IU has hung smallish TVs on the underneath side of the balcony overhang so you can see the action better. Thing is, the camera for that TV is on the OTHER side of the floor. That means you’re watching play go one direction on the actual floor and the other on the TV. Have never see anything like it.*

@BeddieKU23 I like the TV in my living room.
-
@BeddieKU23 We talked to fans who complained about those seats. Said balcony seats are way better. Badger football has something similar, could see the field ok, it was just missing out seeing the scoreboard/band/etc that was annoying.
-
@nuleafjhawk - drink and food prices are better too!
