Gradey is averaging 21 points a game this season so far, after 8.5 last year. He’s really stepped it up in year 2.

@Fightsongwriter Make that 200!

“I knew that was back-to-back games where I didn’t make clutch free throws,” said Lucas. “In the tournament, we might lose a game because of that. I figured I had to stay in the gym until I hit a couple hundred. It was more than 200. It was a lot. I was in there until I felt confident moving forward.”

That’s senior leadership.

@Jethro Thank you! I had not been able to find the complete game online (but haven’t looked in a while). I’ve watched all the clips and highlights I could find and the last 3 minutes in full, but not the whole game.

The night of the championship game I was on a train to the Arctic, with no internet or cell service. Hit a pocket of service around midnight and found out I had missed the biggest comeback in the history of the NCAA championship. Woke up half the train.

I scheduled this trip back when we weren’t playing well, and thought the chances of us playing that night were remote. I was punished for my lack of faith. Still pretty happy with the outcome.

@wissox Wildlife research on the tundra and the edge of the boreal forest. I traveled up with 4 grad students who are not basketball fans (they have nothing against it, just don’t follow). They gave me grief when I originally said I didn’t want to travel on that day, just in case. For future trips I’m going to have to remember who is in charge, and sets our priorities!

Bill Self just tied Phog Allen for most wins. Wow.

“Let’s try to spin things positively for Duke”. ESPN doesn’t even try to hide it.

All schools are still open in Winnipeg, where I live, despite being -40. People are prepared.

I’m in Tucson right now, though. Pretty happy about that.

@wissoxfan83 I disagree. I think @drgnslayr is the most interesting man in the world.

At KU, his majors were sailing, cigar appreciation, and the tango.

His two cents are worth thirty-seven dollars and change.

You can see his charisma from space.

He’s a lover, not a fighter; but he’s a fighter too, so don’t get any ideas.

34 minutes is a lot for Dok. Tests his stamina, good reason to sit the other bigs that could have played.

2 fouls is not very many for Dok. Encouraging.

11 rebounds is a lot for Dok. Even more encouraging.

@DanR said in Tonight's game:

@approxinfinity He’s international, so no NIL. Might as well move on and make some $$

He played 3 years of high school in Indiana, so he’s probably a permanent resident by now. Reportedly, his NIL deal is worth $530K this year.

@dylans I quit drinking a long time ago, but watching these guys feels just like a hangover. A bad hangover.

I just started this season.

@wissox They clearly traded up.

@rockchalkjayhawk Rylen started and played 5 minutes. Only stats were 2 turnovers. plus/minus was -7. But everybody started slow.

@approxinfinity Not just sometimes. Usually. He does sometimes have an original idea that’s interesting. But then he tags on the same old Juan or Self bashing, which negates anything positive or novel he might be trying to contribute.

I am hopeful he might someday share an insight that is worthwhile, without adding all that familiar negativity, which is why I haven’t blocked him. But I usually just have to scroll past rapidly when I realize it’s the same diatribe that has lessened the experience of so many on this site.

So don’t feel bad. Your pic was appreciated, and good advice. Engaging just seems to make it worse.

Weak call

@SlimShaddy54 But Baylor isn’t.

Rebounding could be better, if we’re looking for something to improve on. Mayo is our top rebounder with 4, matching our 3 bigs combined.
