Always a good day to beat down the slavers. DP did what he was supposed to. The supporting cast really showed out. Mari continues to impress me.

We’re on the board! Really good get, 3x2 and has a lot of upside. https://x.com/mswain247/status/1995694601399927219?s=46

I’m missed most of the game, was able to listen to parts of it. So DP is hurt yet again or what is the story there? Council found the bottom of the net I see.

DP played 31 minutes (season high) but his hammy got tight late. It’s pretty clear to me he’s just not quite in game shape yet. The burst is almost there, but needs a little more time to come back entirely.

Yeah he’s definitely not all the way back yet. We saw what player he really is against Louisville, the best guard in college hoops.

@kjayhawks2.0 it’s not even remotely close, he’s our best player. His BPM is almost 19, which is absolutely silly. For reference, the guys you mentioned were between 8-10. And that’s not even counting him going supernova against Louisville. He just has that other gear that’s unreal.

@TYOHawk you’re 100% right. At some point you have to just pivot. To use a metaphor, if the lady you’ve been seeing for 6 months or whatever doesn’t want to commit you move on.

If it makes anyone feel better, no bowl for KSU either.

Looks like another long year.

Nah we’re the Justice League without Superman right now. Get him back and we roll.

I think we’ll have the lower level done and some temporary seating on the south side for 26, whole thing done for 27. They haven’t released the final plans but my understanding is it’ll basically mirror the west side.

@approxinfinity random question, but does the new board have quick reply capability? That was really nice, especially for quick observations in game threads. Thanks for your hard work on this!

@JoJoAndMe you’re in luck! Because that’s what’s happening.

@DanR which would be very dumb since the legislature spearheaded the effort and passed the actual bonding authority. The border war continued long into Brownback’s first term, which got to the point where both sides (and people including Laura Kelly) were like yeah this has to stop.

Yeah the rumor is LCC is going to approve a STAR bond package for the Chiefs. The state is getting totally scammed here (STAR bonds have gone through two audits, failed them both miserably, plus the absolute dearth of evidence that stadiums provide much economic impact) but Masterson really wants this “accomplishment” since he’s running for governor.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I wouldn’t be so sure about that

Stokes is a talent you take and figure the rest out later.

They play very slow and try to muck it up so we best be sharp.

9th blocked shot of the night.

A major strength of this team so far.

If I have one MINOR gripe, it seems our guys sell out for blocks too often and give up offensive boards. But that’s on the margin.

I like seeing some bench guys get some run. The depth is a little questionable even with DP, we need preferably 2 of Marko, Dawson, and Kohl to establish themselves as reliable guard depth.
