Does his family really think scouts like this? Boozer and dybantsa are BALLING right now and they don't have anywhere near the alleged family circus that DP has. I think most of us would probably think dybantsa's family would've been more annoying entering college but hey, they haven't said anything and he goes out there and drops 20 and 5 every night. I do agree that visually, he didn't look anywhere near 100% when he played NC State and Missouri(rim pressure was non existent compared to HS DP) but my guess is he could gut it out if it were the tournament

Seriously can't believe what we're getting out of Jamari. Credit to him

Damn look how confident Melvin is stepping into that three

@bskeet I don't think that game is close if flory doesn't pick up 2 fouls immediately

We've seen this sorry ass team come up short time and time again on the road the last two years. Melvin put everything out on the court tonight to finally get it done on the road

Cope for DP is that it didn't look like he signaled to sub himself out, looks like bill did it for him

Can't believe that performance from Melvin. Special special stuff

All these Adidas kids going to nike schools while nike is holding onto dear life with stokes. Let him be free! He'll have a better career not playing under "Mark Pope"

It's like elmarko just realized one day that he's an incredibly powerful and athletic human being

Doesn't help that Cal's doing fine at arkansas

It's a distraction but sitting out doesn't make a ton of sense. He is NOT locked in at the #1 pick, boozer has been playing great

@approxinfinity Yeah I'd imagine most of us doubted Jamari would actually get serious time and he's drilled threes and not been egregiously bad. Just shouldn't have had the ball at the end it is what it is

@approxinfinity said in Kansas Jayhawks Vs UConn Huskies Game Thread 12/2 8PM CT:

@rcjhdraft if we cut down the nets i am going to point at this DP-less stretch as the catalyst. Its all good. This is just one marquee game and the big prizes are ahead of us.

Yeah I've been pleasantly surprised by elmarko and Jamari but they are still being stretched far beyond what should be expected

Hopefully Darryn can finally play soon. Sucks that hamstring injuries are so sensitive because we're giving him millions of dollars to go out and close games like this

Getting outworked on the boards is pretty disappointing....We're the far more athletic team there's no reason for that other than effort

My guess is bill drew up Jamari off a screen to pull up for three and he just aborted it to drive to the lane for god knows why

Wow that was awful

god blessed Melvin with an elite first step but he had to compensate with the worst rim finishing ever

What a burst from the fellas after not making a basket for 8 minutes
