      Good good win. Much needed boost. Good response from Saturday's debacle. Not pretty but we were the prettier penny of the two. Great to see White step out his slump. Team is so much better when he's impactful on offense.

      Always good to hand Houston a L

        @wissox83 I wanted us to win so I watched American idol episodes I hadn't seen yet.

        You're welcome 😊

        America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

          Updated bracket with us a three seed in the east, Purdue (to get to the S16), in Greenville. Probably the easiest path we could get. We would play Austin Peay, then likely Louisville and then Purdue. Three seeds Gonzaga, Florida, Nebraska.

            Getting a bunch of unathletic teams would be a great draw

              Yeah, but that will never happen. If we know, the committee knows...

              We can beat athletic teams.. but we need them to play to their mean and no go nuts like Cincinnati did.

              Houston did not shoot well (kind of a reverse fortune for us) and also seemed hesitant on some open shots. Some of that was a credit to our defense.

              When you get to the tournament, you have to make your fortune and control the fortunes of the other team. That's something we may be learning at just the right time.

              I STILL feel like our best basketball is in front of us.

              Rock Chalk!

                        Purdue looks pretty salty but I don't think as good as Illinois

                          I like this guy and his stats:

                          Creighton Coover
                          @kucr8ton
                          2m

                          The #Jayhawks win over Houston moves them to 21-7. This is the 37th consecutive season that #KUbball has won 21 or more games in a season. It's the longest streak in NCAA history. The 2nd longest streak was UNC with 31 consecutive seasons from 1971 to 2001.

                            Games against each of Lunardi's 2 seeds are gettable - important to not slip up and stay at the 3 line and not fall to a 4...

                                  Another stat from Creighton:

                                  Tre White's 23 points vs Houston was his 4th 20+ point game of the season for the #Jayhawks.

                                  These notable #KUbball players also had 4 career 20+ point games:
                                  Elijah Johnson
                                  Jacque Vaughn
                                  Rick Calloway
                                  Travis Releford
                                  Xavier Henry

                                      How in the hell is Self's KU 41-0 on Big Mondays? I have been told that the top four seeded teams get a double bye in the conference tourney. We can only lose one more game to be 13-5. With 5 teams currently 11-4.
                                      Watching TXA&M Rylan Griffen playing like he did year before last 14ppg rebounding and steals. Zach Clemence still sucks.

                                        Arizona & Houston are basically locks to be in the Top 4 IMO so its basically who wins or who loses between us and Iowa St.
