Newman is gonna be the MOP of this tournament.
It’s not close.

Konate yelling at fans in the stands now… “Go F yourself,” he said repeatedly. “Shut the F up, B,” he added. Not a great look for him or WVU. #KUbball leads 77-70 with 51.2 seconds to play.
-
@BShark get him out!
-
Wow, Big 12 conference and tourney champs!!
-
@Lulufulu not yet
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Unreal that he hasn’t got at least one tech by now…
-
Malik Newman now holds the #KUbball record for most points scored in a single #Big12MBB tournament and breaks Brandon Rush’s record of 13 three pointers. He has 70 points and 15 made threes in this tourney. #Jayhawks
-
I’m afraid he’ll kill someone
-
@BShark wow, that is cool
-
Great game - shot the lights out in the 2nd half…
-
Let em HAAAAAAAAAANG Svi
-
Newman going so hard on d that he slipped on the floor is AWESOME. Would not have done that at the start of the year. He has bought in.
-
Fran - time is gonna run out - then Svi dunks!
Champions again! We rock!
-
What a gutsy win. Very tough! Nice job Jayhawks!!
-
Well done fellas!!
-
Two notes.
-
Apparently Malik Newman is a spot up shooter.
-
Silvio just made the leap.
-
-
Newman-Mop
De Sousa-how damn good is this kid gonna be
-
Silvio, Doke, and Lawson frontcourt next year will be unstoppable! Our guard situation will be a slow start but by march will be too much for any team to handle!
-
Vick is happy
-
One of the most satisfying wins in a long time!!!
-
What a great performance.
-
@justanotherfan 3. The sky wasn’t falling.
-
Wow. What a win. I can’t picture a scenario better for our squad going into the tournament. Dtae has ice in his veins. Malik can get a bucket anytime and anywhere. Silvio has officially solved the only Achilles heel this team had. Doke is going to come back rested and fired up. A week ago I was so worried about being put into a physically opposing teams bracket, now I think we can take on anyone. RCJH.
-
@Buster-1926 There was a lot of caterwauling going on around here for a few days. I just let them scream until they tired themselves out.
-
Love that Silvio came to play = 16 points. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK. What a dogged team. And the HOF Coach came ready to call the calls. Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles NEVER won the Big 12 Conf. or Tournament the whole 4 years they were at WVU. They were denied hanging the banner and I am so ecstatic. 15 3’s. Got buckets when we needed them. Determination was a real factor. 48 points in the second half. Our Hawks proved to themselves they could do it without Dok and others stepped up. Malik Newman was the MAN. MVP. NEXT!
-
West Virginia Almost Heaven, Almost Beat Kansas
-
WOW Silvio sure does give our team a new dimension if he were to play along side Doke for any amount of time! If Coach Self deploys that line up for an extended amount of time teams have to prepare differently for KU… Could be the edge KU needs to suit up in April???
-
Silvio just proved he needs some pt even when Dokes back, I like Mitch and I’m not knocking him but Silvio is hands down the best rebounder on this team, that he’s he stronger and more athletic than Mitch.
-
@BShark Is that your way of saying you were wrong again?
-
-
@Statmachine Even if they don’t line up together, he’s a better rebounder than Doke. He is unflappable- plays with a ton of poise. And he can shoot free throws ( although he missed two with a minute left ). Let Doke get 20 minutes, and Silvio 15. The best thing that could’ve happened to this team is Doke having a minor injury, which let Silvio get comfortable out there.
-
@kjayhawks I couldn’t agree more. - -I love Mitch - he gives his heart every time out - -BUT I think it is clear - - very clear that Silvio is for sure the back up to Doke. - -my GOD all this does is other teams in the tourney are just going to HAVE to respect our inside game. - -Who says we don’t have a inside game lol.
Can you imagine if Doke comes back which I believe he will, can you imagine NEXT year. – Dedric - - -Doke – -Silvio - -& McCormack - & Mitch if he doesn’t red shirt? - -going to be insane. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KJ will be ahead of Mitch at the 4. IT’S AN ABSURD FRONT COURT.
-
Mercy - -poor Devonte has been battling a little sickness and had hardly nothing in the 1st half - then - - -BAM – he finishes with 18points and are you ready - -13 assists - and only 2 turnovers. - -anyone wonder why he is Big 12 player of the year. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Huggy saying his kids are good people! Ahh what about konuts and his potty mouth?
-
@jayballer73 no question, that’s why good shooters keep shooting

Buster 1926 said:
@Statmachine Far as I’m concerned Silvio showed a level of play that Doke hasn’t even shown a glimpse of yet, & quite frankly, may never. Didn’t take a
lick of crap 
off Miles or Konate the crybaby either. He earned some stripes on a HUGE freaking stage in KC. Clearly without him & Doke & only Mitch … we probably loose this game by about 10 points. Of course this is JMO … but SILVIO PLAINLY KICKED KONATES ASS !!In some areas like rebounding yes. Where Doke is still much better is knowing where to be on defense and just interior defense in general. We need Doke back. The huge thing is Self should mostly trust Silvio now, I mean he played more than Mitch tonight. Being able to choose between Silvio and Mitch depending on the situation in March is huge. And yes I think there are situations where Mitch would be better, mainly against a smart perimeter post player.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 link to his post game? I wonder what his excuse is this time? Im pissed Konate didn’t get a T, for Doke getting one in Morgantown for looking at a guy he deserved atleast 2 today.
-
‘‘They have a lot of guys who can make shots,’’ West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said. ‘‘Let’s be honest, all of those guys out there, if they’re not McDonald’s All-Americans it’s because they’re from another country. They have good players and their guy can coach, you know?’’
-
@BShark I don’t believe DG, Lightfoot, Desousa and Vick were Mcd All Americans but I could be wrong.
-
-
-
-
@RockChalkinTexas The 25+ wins in a season streak is very impressive too.
-
-
@RockChalkinTexas That tweet is incorrect. Newman had 72 points over the three games and broke the KU record.
-
@BShark Correct, This guy put that out 3 hrs ago.
-

-
This was before the game.
