Just how amazing has his season been?
13, 20 point games.
Who would have ever thought he would average 20 points a game? Incredible
On the verge of becoming the 1st Big-12 player to avg 20 + 5 assists a game.
Possible front-runner for POY.
14th place on the All-Time Scoring Record with 1,622 points. He still has at least 10 games left in his career, 17 if all goes as planned.
What else am I missing?
No matter what happens he’ll go down as one of my favorite hawks ever!
“You know, you look at this team and everybody, including myself, has said what’s wrong with this team all year long. We don’t do this, we don’t do that or we’re too small or we don’t have enough depth or we don’t play hard enough or we’re not hungry enough. And all they’ve done is they’re the No. 3 overall seed, and they’ve won two games in the tournament and are going to the Sweet 16. We’ve got to win two more games to get where we want to go. But I’m so proud of our kids and nobody can say that they haven’t had a great season. Now we have to go make great (turn into) special.” -Bill Self
Has Self said anything better all season long?
I’m pumped for Friday. We’re going to win
At work and have this beaming smile.
The win ranks up with the best of them.
Hope everyone else is enjoying the feeling of that W.
San Antonio here we come!
heard this was going up in the Rafters at Kansas St’s next home game. Next year they can add to it.
Time to give this guy some props for his defense and intangibles on the court so far this year.
His defense on Saturday against Paschall was outstanding. He was locked in. Talked after about the film he watched on how to guard him and its refreshing to see how much detail he put into that matchup. Overall I thought he did as good a job as we could have hoped on him.
We all know his 3 point shots are prayers, he constantly clanks the first free throw at the line and he’s struggled finishing on drives but man does this kid compete on both sides. He’s a valuable ball handler as we saw when Nova went to a full court press. It’s nice to know if Dotson is struggling or in foul trouble that we have a ball handler that can get into the offense. He has great hands and awareness when looking for steals. More importantly we have a guy that can matchup with someone’s best scorer 1-4 positions. Great to have.
He scores 1 point but his impact on the game seemed to outweigh what the box score says. Now if the staff could only get that shot fixed…
This guy deserves his own thread.
What an unbelievable performance last night. Dare to say that tops Kevin Durant’s performance here years back but after playing 54 of 55 minutes and putting on a clinic all through the OT’s I do say this was the best performance by a non KU player ever in this building.
And he does it with class… If you saw his post game interview with Scott Van Pelt he was all class even though you could sense he was upset leaving here without a victory.
And our fans, the one’s that were left gave him a standing ovation. Name another fan-base that will do that for a kid on the other team. Not ISU, Not KSU…KU is all class even its fans, although sometimes we all have our moments.
I’ve been a fan of his for a while but I gained a whole new appreciation for him. He had moments last night that reminded me of how Steph Curry is playing in the NBA. He’s that good, I do think he’s got a chance to become an NBA all-star the way he carries himself and the hard work he has put in to be where he’s at.
I’m jealous he’s not in a KU uniform, I’m jealous Self didn’t see what kind of player Hield could become, but who could have?
Thanks Buddy for putting on a show but respectfully missing that last 3 in triple OT. I will never forget that game.

3rd in points per game in Conference- 22nd national
2nd in shooting % in conference- 5th national
tied for 1st in 3pt %, really improved that # lately- 17th nationally
worst FT shooting team in the conference- believe there are only 11 teams worse in all of D-1. Yikes
3rd in the conference in rebounding- 61st nationally
2nd in assists per game conference- 16th nationally
Surprisingly 3rd in Blocks in conference- 34th nationally playing mostly 4 guard lineup…
KenPom has us 8th nationally in Adjusted Offense, 6th in Adjust Defense.
So far so good.
Boy is hungry.
Cut his trip back home short and is back in Lawrence working on his game. Taking after Frank and putting in the work to have a dominate Sr year.
Mbiya is a Jayhawk. Big time add at needed position
Hearing Elmarko has been really good and could push to start. Dawson is a really good 6th man if needed.
Rosario has signed with KU and it’s official. Nice work shutting down his other visits and getting him signed. Decent shot at carving a role as a freshman as a wing shooter. We’ll see if he can defend anyone.
Demir is still working on eligibility, Mbiya is eligible… Sounds like one of them is more likely then both. Also sounds like one of them is more likely then Konan.
That’s correct, hopefully its announced official soon… been a while between good news
Sounds like Demir will be a hawk if he can get eligible. Mbiya is also in play, as well as Konan. Konan has eligibility stuff as well. Rosario sounds promising. Looks like the final 3 spots could come from this group
Looks like we might lead for Rosario who’s very likely to end up in 25. Just saw his rank go from 120’s to 45. Just wrapped up a visit here
