DP Punched in the mouth, fouled again as he approached the bucket, 2 guys hanging on him as he goes up, and still slams the dunk. Wiw

Wow! DP what a stud, and 34 minutes.

@Jayhawk_69 what I liked best about Withey blocks was they usually weren't just slapped away in any direction but often towards one of our guys (or himself). Such a joy to watch him

Holy crap, that was something

With the success of that last 5 minutes of regulation pressure, I wonder if we’ll see more of it in the games ahead. Sure hope so!

@DanR hopefully, unlike Embiid, he stays healthy and plays hard in March. I always wonder what might have been if Embiid played for us that tourney.

Just read where DP donated $5 million to homeless shelters in his home town of Canton Ohio. That’s pretty cool

DP switches hand for a great layup, so smooth

Dang. DP is just crazy good

Butt whipping 80% of the game, then a way too big of a scare for my blood, but good guys go to 878 out 1000 in AF. Well done

Dang that’s ugly

Hopefully we get some halftime readjustments and get the crowd into it

He certainly has a good chunk of college BB following his story right now

The first 6 of the 7 top stories in my FB feed were about DP just now. Don’t really see how it compares to the Tang fiasco much tho. We are one of the most dangerous teams in the country with probably the best player. Yea it’s frustrating and yea there’s a lot drama being played up by the media, but comparing us to the train wreck at KSuck? I don’t see those two situations as comparable.

And I don’t think DP is bored either, but it was an interesting take. As is Bskeet’s of him playing the GM’s for a better team drafting him. We certainly can’t accuse this year of being boring and no fun to watch, as I can’t wait to see what happens next.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Darryn Peterson:

A friend had an alternate theory on DP that I hadn’t heard.

He’s simply bored with college ball.

Now that is an interesting take. But wouldn’t you think if it’s really that effortless for him, he would want to make a more serious historical mark to show how much better he was than everybody else? Something like the all-time record of points scored or 3 pointers made or something, even if just for one game?

And I think that was the first post game interview with Bill that I’ve heard so far this year where he didn’t fiercely defend JP. So curious to see what happens next.

It’s quite the perplexing situation. Best case he helps us win the natty, but even if that comes to pass I think I’ll still probably think of him more as a valuable weapon just passing thru, rather than a true Jayhawk.

So my pre game prediction, as usual, was terrible. Weak first half with weak DP showing and strong second half for a close finish? So glad I was so wrong on all counts. Odd for a big road win to still seem sorta ugly, but hey, I’ll take it. Good guys win again and are soooo much more fun to watch than that last few years teams.

@Jayhawk_69 yea I don’t see it either today

See my post above, about free YouTube

I forget which of you told me, but last game I tried a suggestion and it worked. I waited until 5 minutes into the game, went to YouTube, searched for KU vs ISU, and found a stream of the game. It was on a delay of a minute or two, and blinked out for a second or two fairly often, but for free I couldn’t complain. I’ll be trying that trick again tonight, so hats off to the boardrat who mentioned it.

My prediction - we comeback to win in a tight game after a weak first half 79-77. DP is just average but draws coverage and Melvin lights it up in the second half. Would like to see Tre do well, but feel he might be another game or two away from 100%.

DP had 23 mins played, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 10 pts. Didn’t look like the best ku player moreless the best player in the country. I like Melvin running point better.

Not a surprising outcome today, but still disappointing. Hopefully we can win another road game or two.
