Joe Dooley won the ASUN regular season conference title for the second straight year in 2018. They start the conference tourney Monday night.

Always happy to see former KU coaches do well!

Saw this on Twitter from Creighton Coover:

#KUbball has, by far, the longest current streak of receiving a #4 seed or higher in the #NCAATournament. This short list exemplifies the incredible consistency the #Jayhawks have shown for the entire century thus far! Kansas - 21 Gonzaga - 5 Purdue - 5 Baylor - 2

I thought McCullar looked really good today. He had a quiet Double/Double with 5 steals. Just kinda hiding in the background but he’s been an excellent addition.

Dunno where else to put this. I’ll just leave it here…

Missouri will be on its 7th basketball coach since Bill Self arrived at Kansas. Self is the 8th coach in KU history.

Storr has withdrawn from the NBA draft and is coming to KU.

Is it possible the big guys are playing a bit soft to avoid fouls, hence fewer rebounds? Given that the big guys spent a lot of time on the bench in the first half, it had to impact rebounding.

If Preston can return, those numbers should change (I would hope)…

Good Lord Almighty! It’s suddenly “Rent-A-Team”! ️

What am I missing?

Langford was 4/12 field goals in 31 minutes during an exhibition victory over a Southern Indiana. 4 rebounds and 1 assist. 5 turnovers. This Buckets group would have crucified him…

Furphy was 0/6, no free throws, zero points. 4 rebounds, 2 assists in 23 minutes. -16 in +/-. NBA money too strong for him to stay. Maybe he’ll have an impact next year?

Creighton was missing their starting point guard, Steven Ashworth. He was back Saturday vs ND and played 36 minutes.

That was a very confusing ending. The ball was snapped before the Raiders were set. QB wasn’t even looking but said he clapped his hands too early. If they weren’t set, it should have been a false start. But Illegal Formation? Did KC decline it?

Marcus Adams is playing for CSUN this year and has put up some points against non-P4 opponents. (Cal State Northridge)

Zuby had 22/10 in 42 minutes, but only 6/12 at the stripe. He’s showing potential.

So KU is on ESPN+. #1 in the country. What is ESPN showing instead? Northern Illinois vs Miami OH football! ESPN2? Western Michigan vs Central Michigan football!

@wissox - Rick Pitino, IIRC.

I see Zuby Ejiofor, KU to St John’s a couple of years ago, still has scoring and rebounding woes. Pitino may bench the junior.

@rcjhdraft - Screw ups at the end of the game are habitual this year. At least KSU didn’t score before the half. Another loss.

Trade for Kupp?
