Tre White 17 pts, 15 rebounds, a fat lip and bloody nose. You are a bad ass son thank you.

Bill said I'm tightening up this 7 man rotation. So Elmarko and Mari do this: 16pts 8 dimes and 4 steals and Mari hit two huge shots to get the game back in our court.

We probably don't win if DP sat

Thank you for all your hard work. Now that our team has shown us their hearts our top five defense will hold teams below their average and our offense has averaged 80 in our mini win streak. If a team like St Johns can play with ISU so can we. I'm saying all this sans Darryn who is just stunning I mean come on man. Get cheap with Tre, Flory, Melvin (see the end of the MU game), and you will get it back plus some and any one of these guys have and can take over a game. I saw Tiller get rugged himself he doesn't like you trying to push him around and he is scary athletic and talented. He is going to go so off watch for the bomb. Self has told him to keep shooting the corner three he is not scared of anyone. Jamari who ends up guarding a big in the paint when we play small and gets just slung around and he gets up and sprints to his place. He is a surprise on both ends but after thirteen games it not a surprise anymore. Kohl lives in Kohland and doesn't give a darn who he runs into. He just keeps on going for it on the lobs (really dude?) and has no filter when he is open. I'd throw Samis onto those tall forwards when needed. He is about to bubble open. He will be good and needs to be this year and not next year.

Carr and Yesoufoo are about as good a pair of guards as we've seen this year. Tiller was very good in the first 15 of the game. Giving Baylor credit for taking the 1 point lead in the first. Tre took good shots and no air balls they just didn't fall. Baylor matched up pretty well with us. Our big guys with 8 blocks and the team with only 4 turnovers and 8 steals.

Council leads the conference in minutes played per game. The guy before DP came back was probably Elmarko who can get it done mostly but Melvin can play defense and wants to. Council has shot sub 40 every year and it looks like the floaters he uses when penetrating are still a bit awkward. I guess DP will run things more or less now and having Melvin as a wing is good because he can assist and was getting better and better at that all year. Now that we can average 80 I think he will be good in whatever role he is in. This roster goes eight deep plus I keep dreaming of Dawson getting comfortable and going off from three. DP, Flory and Tre, Melvin and Tiller are reliable on both ends and are scoring 69 points between them. Now that Elmarko, who can go off and Jamari who defends and hits 3 balls this teams is going to get tougher and tougher to beat. Of course worry wart me is nervous about NCSU and their tall deep shooters.

If DP was really hurt again he would have been back in the locker room I think. 31 minutes was a lot for him and we needed all of them. Even when hampered he is special.

A boot camp nickname from being the tallest in Platoon 2015 circa 1969. My government service nickname was Kool.

Flory shut down Dybansta and he struggled to get inside. We can be disappointed in DP but we saw a 50 point type of scorer in action. Tre White played his usual hard game but his four quick turnovers at the start of the second half changed the tone. BYU is a top ten type team but couldn't handle our defense.

My grand nephew with the Jets 9 carries 56 yds and a TD. Jets suck.

It's almost a thing we do repeatedly. Last year it was Trey guarding a big boy and it hurt us but this year saw Melvin, successfully, fronting with those long arms waving while Trey locked up the big as much as he could. That happened only once that I remember. Kinney was on duty a few times and was so active he successfully disrupted it a couple of times. Teams practice for it and it's so obvious. We hung with Duke much better than Tennessee did but Ngongba proved his hype was real. Our switching defense becomes an opportunity to be exploited and really works well for teams that exhibit spacing. Self knows it's coming and is coaching against it but it killed us with a very skilled Ngongba going off. He got almost 30 points. Duke responded to our successes with their own three pointers several times. We didn't complete plays and missed several consecutive chippies by Stokes, Dawes and Kinney and we blew the game at the end just like against Louisville. Another year of stalling late and offering up a mid 70 point offense no no please.

Stokes was our offense and should have 33 - 35 points

Jam it Stokes.

We they need a hoop they get it we are not running any kind of set offense.

We play downhill we get better shots. The center position is going big to Duke.

Against Louisville I felt they were just a better team and it hurt to say that. This team is playing harder when Trey and Melvin are sitting.

Stokes just does not give damn in the lane.

Kinney may become a favorite Jayhawk.

Stokes is a nightmare if you go small ball guys.

Kinney has good size.
