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.

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.

I love Bill Self, but I would not be disappointed if he and his staff got the boot.

I would be extremely disappointed. Regardless of the circumstances.

@stoptheflop Leipold said he’s done that in a game 3 times (QB kick). Not sure if either of the other 2 were at KU. He said two of them have worked out really, really well. They practice that every Thursday since he’s been a head coach.

@kjayhawks I agree. He was 9th in minutes today.

@kjayhawks Hmm, he’s almost there. Clemence won’t be one of them, and Shak is still limited. That leaves 9: today’s starting 5, Storr, Coitus, Passmore & Bidunga. Once Shak is full speed, I guess he’ll have to make a decision, but he seems pretty close already.

kohler with the flush. bilas made a toilet joke.

Bidunga and Hunter in together. Haven’t seen that often.

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

Harris and Bidunka were working that one together. Very cool.

@stoptheflop KJ has 10 pts in 9 minutes. Love the assist from 5 to 4.

I think it’s still 0 in basketball. Up to 4 in football.

@wissox I’ve been waiting for a chance to use that!
