My dog hides during KU games. That’s normal, isn’t it? I’m pretty sure it’s the “squeaky shoe sounds” from the TV that bug her.

@wissoxfan83 Wilt Chamberlain was a true OAD. There was ONE of him and then the good Lord was DONE making any more like him. I never saw him play in person, but I have read and studied him and it always bothers me when anyone compares anyone else to Wilt. There is no comparison. They man was a true freak of nature. An incredible all-around athlete. Here is one of my favorite KU moments of all time. I still get choked up after watching it probably 25 times…

When has KU not played a strong noncon? I remember last year reading somewhere that HCBS was trying to work out a home and home with UK. It seems UK no wants no part of that.

Man, actually I have that exact line up as my way to early final four prediction.

Agreed @Mr Miyagi. White doesn’t look as flashy as Wiggins, but was very good tonight. I think he not only played himself into rotation, but might have a shot at starting too. It showed how much a year under Coach Self, one can improve. There is a huge advantage in a sophomore over a freshman unless one is an extra ordinary talent like Wiggins. Another good sign is Lucas tries really hard and may have chances to contribute. Obviously he is not as conditioned as the other bigs like Black and Embiid. He needs to push himself more. One game in the book, and there is a lot of be excited about.

My things to watch: 1. How do the top 3 freshmen perform against the cupcakes. 2. How do the 3 redshirt eligible freshmen perform against the cupcakes. 3. Which 3 redshirt eligible freshmen has the best attitude to be a Jayhawk in the long run. 4. Which redshirt eligible freshman will benefit the most from a redshirt year and whether he appears to accept the fact that he will be more valuable in the later year. The way Coach Self put it, redshirt is a benefit trading a 18 year old body for a 23 year old body. What is there to lose? On the other hand, Coach Self may not grant one a redshirt year if he doesn’t think he won’t contribute much later. So this is my watch number 5. All body gestures from my TV since I won’t hear any rumbling up close. Let’s hope ESPN3 comes through. Rock Chalk time now!

Both twins look like they are in for a long NBA career. That’s great news. They continued to work hard after leaving KU and deserve earning a big paycheck for many years to come!
