@bshark @farmerjayhawk That would be incredible. He's already sooo good. And such a great fit for the program... especially as a personality.

@MR11, Darryn Peterson

May be an unpopular take, but DP is good enough that he can call the shots on how much he plays and think Self should continue to let him as long as there is an understanding he will be fully available/play through pain a bit more come the tournament. The team seems to have adapted well to him being in and out of the lineup so I don't even mind it too much anymore.

Yeah, I don't mind too much now either. But I imagine that if he was limited and we lost some games, I'd probably be less agreeable.

Still holding you and your family in my thoughts.

The ONLY thing I worry about at this point is that we are not a team that is great at manufacturing "easy" points. We get a few alley-oop dunks each game. But we don't break teams down and get many back-doors, etc. When I watch Duke and Arizona, they both run offenses that create some easy layups.. I think it couldn't hurt to get a bit more of this into our repertoire.

Not sure if this is because teams know Bill Self's playbook / scout us so well... or maybe it's not our emphasis.

We seem to be a team that take (and make) an inordinate number of 'tough' shots.. and Melvin is the KING of this. We have multiple players (Tre, Melvin & DP) that drive into the lane -- more than I can recall in quite a while -- often resulting in contact on the shot (too often not getting rewarded with a whistle).

I suppose this is a good thing for March. But so are some easy points.

It's been said, but probably worth saying again: FLORY. This was a defensive game. And we had the better defense and the BEST defensive player.

Flory has to be defensive player of the week in the B12 and should get some recognition nationally.

If one was indisputable, then the other should have been too. There wasn't clear evidence to overturn either.

Not sure if they'll review their review, but I don't think it will smell good with time.

This was the snapshot I like!

92 seconds. Less than 25% chance.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Cool.. (I was just looking at Lunardi @espn and he still has us on the 4 line)

And I agree -- last night's win should convince skeptics: Saturday, we won by jumping to a healthy lead and then holding off a comeback. Monday, we won by coming from behind on the road. Both Top 20 teams.

Two very different ways to win.

Please please please make this the beginning of a fantastic run to April.

At this point, the team is playing for tournament seeding and still in contention for the B12 title. Every game matters.

A win over Houston may move them from the 4 seed to the 3 seed.
A win over both Houston and Arizona... they are solidly a 3 seed and might move them to the 2 seed plus put them in position to legitimately compete for the B12 Title.

@kjayhawks2.0 That is hilarious! (and spot on)

There's a bit of Kobe in his game... and there's a bit of MJ in his game...

Darryn = Superman
Flory = Batman
Melvin = Robin? Krypto * woof *

I trust Tre taking 3s more than Marko at this point. And more than Tiller!

Credit TT, they knew who our shooters were and made it difficult for them (and let the other guys roll the dice...)

@crimsonblu22 That he did.. and it was a critical shot.

Tre was fouled and fouled and fouled. (without whistles). Might have had something to do with his game.

It was an eventful night in a multitude of ways. For us Rosario Kohl-watchers, we had a sighting. He looked rusty offensively but his athleticism is undeniable. Spectacular rebound and some decent D.

Peterson is once in a decade talent. I remember watching Durant and thinking.. man, why can't we get a dude like that on our team?

We got one.

DP has to be B12 player of the week.

Well we win tonight and we definitely deserve a seat at the big boy table

Have a seat!

Three theories are presented. All good and mostly what's been hashed and re-hashed.

I think there's a fourth theory -- I think there's a possibility this is a deliberate effort to create just enough doubt and concern in the scouts and GM's minds so his handlers can steer franchises that he doesn't want to be a part of away from him.

@BShark said in Darryn Peterson:

I think how he was playing against BYU is also why he started feeling it sooner. It's a bit of a double edged sword but I think I'd rather see him for 25-30 minutes at slightly below BYU intensity.

Just to clarify-- I was hoping to get similar intensity over 25+ minutes -- just spread out a bit more between 1st and 2nd half.

I figure (and maybe I'm wrong) that if his minutes are distributed a bit more, he can play a bit more and keep the intensity level up.
