I go caught in a Jayhawk internet rabbit hole this morning and saw where Andrew White III scored 37 in his debut. I started getting curious how some past Jayhawks were doing so I looked it up. Just merely posting here if any of you were a bit curious too. These are all the stats of this morning:
Welp…all in all…it was a good day. Till. Saturday afternoon friends. Rock chalk!
Motto remains the same…once a Jayhawk…always a Jayhawk
I was real excited for TRob until I looked up the stats for Beijing BeiKong and saw former Baylor PG Pierre Jackson is averaging 39.8 points in 25 games. 23 and 15 is still respectable though.
@Texas-Hawk-10 You also forgot about the following:
3/15 - beating some 16 seeded jokers by 40 @ Wichita
3/17- 15 point win by beating some underachieving 8 seed but has the talent to be 3 seed and the tourney clan tries to screw KU in the hopes of setting up a Kentucky vs. Duke Final Four @ Wichita
3/23- 14 point win over power 5 conference regular season champion but lost in their conference tournament. Foe is too scary to put to the likes of Duke and UK. @ Wichita
3/25 - 8 point win over number 4 seed in the tournament. Figuring the best way to eliminate the competition. This will either be Arizona or Michigan St. @ Wichita
3/31 - 10 point win over Kentucky. Tournament roundup is assuming that if KU would get thru, Calipari would be best to get a second chance at the team that beat them. This is similar to the UK/UCLA methodology last year. @ San Antonio
4/2 - 9 point win over Duke. Grayson Allen and this loaded team shoots poorly from the floor against the KU defense and KU merely presses on for another Rock Chalk 2xx8 championship @ San Antonio
I think ol Bartenderchic mama was slightly misinformed. Billy preston first game…6 minutes, 3 fouls, 2 points, 1/3 shooting, 1 stael, 1 rebound. I don’t have stats from 2000 years ago, but I’m pretty sure jesus Christ had a better debut.
The 1997 team was by far the best team KU had in “recent” memory. Just ran into a hot Bibby and Simon which is pretty common in the NCAA tourney. 97 was loaded; unfortunately, Billy Thomas is still chucking up 3’s that are bangin off the back of the rim. Pollard and Haase had something incredibly low like 2 shots combined and 0 points between them if memory serves me right. I’m too bitter about the game to look up the real stats. My KU - PTSD gets triggered quite quickly if I look at that.
For all you kids that don’t stay up and enjoy the summer league as much as I do…Here’s a snippet of how our beloved Jayhawks did (as always…Once a Jayhawk…always a Jayhawk):
7/1/19:
Dedric didn’t play
Frank didn’t play
TRob: 15min 8pts 2/3field 0/1 3’s, 4/6 FT 3 reb +3 +/-
Malik hustled offensively…constantly beat defensively: 16min 16pts, 7/11field, 2/5 3’s, 0/1FT, 1 board -16 +/- (his +/- wasn’t all on him however. Cleveland is terrible.)
Frankamp didn’t play
I’m aware that this is a stretch for Jayhawk inclusion…but… Milton Doyle played 12 min 2pts 0/2 field, 0/0 3’s, 2/2 FT -2 +/-
Bill Self on De Sousa getting the news: “I know it’s a big relief to Silvio, who has been very patient throughout this process."
My despise for Young increases more daily. But something I saw I thought was very enjoyable:
“MITCH SLAPPED”. verb
-when an opponent is going in for an easy bucket and Mitch F’ing Lightfoot flies out of nowhere & swats that shot into oblivion
In a sentence: -KU literally MITCH Slapped Trae Young and the Sooners last night.
I tend to follow nbadraft.net…It was updated wednesday and Doke is the only one listed in 2019…but 2020 revealed a new name. Agbaji at number 12.
Over/under on how many shots big Dave takes in the 2nd half is set at 12.5. When he only makes 4 and Sims takes advantage of him on the other end…I have a bad feeling this game is gonna get close.

@jayballer67 all 4 were early and then none in the last 10 minutes.
keep it up. - - All the guys playing fairly well tonight so far - -no one ugly
disclaimer: Mitch never included in the "how we’re playing stats
Player of the game tonight? Glad you asked. Its Christian braun!
Ed Hightower i thought was the best official in big12/8. I always thought he was very impartial to all teams
Why does Bill self look so tan? I wonder if all the blood rushing to his face all season stain his skin?
