got 4 hours sleep due to the game but it was so worth it!

DP might have gained more respect last night from the KU fanbase then any other. That was ice cold. He's definitely mature enough to handle these moments and it makes you think what he will do in March when given the opportunity to shine. Great players prove it over and over. We got another glimpse of that
-
No showboating or crowd reaction by DP after his final 2 3 pointers won the game for KU. Darryn impressed me with his maturity, esp after the first half chant.
-
A few things to highlight.
Absolute dog crap officiating job by Kissinger and company. You could create a conspiracy video on the replay of this one alone. And yet they still couldn't get Tech the W.
Flory Bidunga has been an absolute animal on defense as of late. He's making himself money for next year right now. Averaging less then 2 fouls a game in conference play, he's come a long way in realizing his importance on the floor and playing at the highest of levels. The ability to switch on/off to the perimeter is special. He's also shooting 78% from the field in conference play. For reference Doke shot 71% in conference play his Sr year. That's incredible shooting % so far.
Council- Still a dawg and an absolute joy to watch
White- Quiet game and two almost costly plays at the end. He's had a quiet week +. Wouldn't be surprised if Saturday we see the real Tre.
Kohl Siting! Had a big rebound, still can't shoot but thought he defended well for not playing in the last few weeks. Good to see him still engaged.

@BeddieKU23 Council scores the easiest 16 points. I was just shocked to see the boxscore and notice he had that many because I might have thought it was maybe 8 at the most.
-
@benshawks08 fine wine, this comment.
-
I know I literally said the same thing this morning looking at the box score. I absolutely love watching him attack on offense. Wish we could clone him every year. Well Fran's trying to by calling him Vincent all night. Gramps needs an extended vacation
-
A tough fought game and the good news is neither coach left the court in handcuffs. RC
-
I'm worried that the Utah game may be a trap game. I'm assuming DP will sit it out or just play a few minutes. With AZ coming in Monday and the usual ESPN Big Monday hype, it will be hard for our guys to find energy and motivation for a 9-12 opponent.
-
@stoptheflop You're worried about dropping a game vs Utah and I'm over here thinking if we can sweep zona, a B12 champ isn't off the table.
Don't disagree with your thought process, but also think KU would have to play their worst game of the season for Utah to have a chance to win. This team hasn't shown that they routinely sleepwalk through games, so I'm not worried too much about that happening.
-
At this point, the team is playing for tournament seeding and still in contention for the B12 title. Every game matters.
A win over Houston may move them from the 4 seed to the 3 seed.
A win over both Houston and Arizona... they are solidly a 3 seed and might move them to the 2 seed plus put them in position to legitimately compete for the B12 Title. -
@bskeet I saw where they were already a 3 seed after BYU. Every game improves on that seeding from here on out. Getting the dub at such a hard place for us is good conditioning for what is to come.
-
@RockChalkinTexas-0 Cool.. (I was just looking at Lunardi @espn and he still has us on the 4 line)
And I agree -- last night's win should convince skeptics: Saturday, we won by jumping to a healthy lead and then holding off a comeback. Monday, we won by coming from behind on the road. Both Top 20 teams.
Two very different ways to win.
Please please please make this the beginning of a fantastic run to April.
-
@bskeet I think it was CBS where I saw it.
I thought this encapsulated the flow of the game and my heartbeat very accurately!!!

This was the snapshot I like!
92 seconds. Less than 25% chance.
