God damn I love having Melvin Council on the team. Just thinking about him barking makes me happy
-
I didn't repeat what was shown and said on instagram because it's far too easy for things to be fabricated and look real. But if it's not true, someone is going to a lot of effort to put DP and Coach in a bad light.

Among the many good things about tonight's game... it made me completely forget that the Chiefs didn't make the postseason and the Super Bowl was a crappy game.

Even if not true, pretty darn frustrating having your best player sit on the bench time and time again. Especially after he had back to back 30+ minute games, I was hoping he and his health had finally come around. Glad we can win without him, because every single game his non-obvious ailments have us all wondering whether he will play or not. Yes, he’s amazing, but is also equal parts frustrating.

A game where every possession and shot was life or death. How loud was the arena for god's sake. I think they have nine Euro pros on their roster. Zona's defense was rated 4th coming in and it showed but KU is rated 7th and it showed. The best rebounding team in the country only had 5 more than us and 1 more offensive than KU. We beat a team that has great talent but it was clear who had the real toughness. I've never seen Self so demonstrative shouting and bouncing and hugging unreal. UNC beat Duke and rushed the court but our students don't play that game. Heck the players should have rushed the crowd.

Barely any sleep last night but I'll have a smile all day!

Enjoyed Bill Self’s “we weren’t very good” postgame. Translation: when we play well we are the best team in America.
-
Gotta keep them focused on the prize. Considering the circumstances I think that was about as good as they could play given the opponent. Arizona was tough as nails
-
Tommy Loyd's comments after the game were interesting; he didn't whine about officiating or anything else. Of course when your team is 23-1, ranked number 1 and had to play an away game in an arena where the home team is 38-0 on Monday Nights, most AZ reporters and fans weren't too upset. I found the comments in my google news feed. Nice win. On to #5 ISt. Man, what a conference.
-
Didn't storm the court. UNC take notes.
Also, it was SUPER LOUD in there. The loudest I can recall.
-
Twitter loving KU with "best atmosphere in the game" type comments.

Rough week for Duke fans who are very mad about that

What’s crazy is self was right. They did play bad especially to start the game. They finished strong. But that wasn’t KIs A game. It wasn’t Arizona’s best game either. But it’s good to know this team can beat a great team without a perfect performance.
Forgot how fun it was to actually be a good team!

I'm glad they were able to win without everything going great. Hopefully they reach their ceiling during a certain 6 game stretch but for now, greatness can wait. One of the best wins in the regular season that I've ever watched. That was everything we thought it would be and maybe some more (playing without DP).
Arizona shoots better from the field, from 3, outrebounds us & has more assists and loses. KU made up for it by being +13 on free throws. The last 8-9 minutes KU made the winning plays where I thought the first 30 minutes Arizona was always a step ahead and then the flip switched. Super proud.
It's great to see what this team is becoming. It's crazy that they have just as big a game again in 5 days but this group is legit.

If Twitter don't work for you: Melvin here's he shot 6-25 and Flory tells him 'you need to pass the rock more'.
-
@BShark YEah, I'd never argue who has the best....whatever. Fans gonna fan and if Duke fans want to brag it's ok too. They do have a great place to play with a very vocal crowd as well. I'm sure playing and winning there is just as tough as coming to Lawrence.
Funny thing is BYU had a bunch of best environment type things going and right after their obnoxious fans started being loud about all this the realities of the Big 12 this year kicked in and they're tanking.

I watched the game with no sound. Just heard Fran get quite upset that Flory traveled and scored a bucket. He was really sounding like a KU hater there on that particular moment. Almost yelling "You can't do that".
