@Fightsongwriter Make that 200!

“I knew that was back-to-back games where I didn’t make clutch free throws,” said Lucas. “In the tournament, we might lose a game because of that. I figured I had to stay in the gym until I hit a couple hundred. It was more than 200. It was a lot. I was in there until I felt confident moving forward.”

That’s senior leadership.

All schools are still open in Winnipeg, where I live, despite being -40. People are prepared.

I’m in Tucson right now, though. Pretty happy about that.

@wissoxfan83 I disagree. I think @drgnslayr is the most interesting man in the world.

At KU, his majors were sailing, cigar appreciation, and the tango.

His two cents are worth thirty-seven dollars and change.

You can see his charisma from space.

He’s a lover, not a fighter; but he’s a fighter too, so don’t get any ideas.

34 minutes is a lot for Dok. Tests his stamina, good reason to sit the other bigs that could have played.

2 fouls is not very many for Dok. Encouraging.

11 rebounds is a lot for Dok. Even more encouraging.

I love Bill Self, but I would not be disappointed if he and his staff got the boot.

I would be extremely disappointed. Regardless of the circumstances.

26 points in 27 minutes for Ochai. Pretty good rate.

I just realized we scored 55 points second half. Not something we can ever count on, but nice to see we can put up points sometimes.

I suspect that was the plan from the beginning. He would be here for one year. Both sides agreed, and made plans accordingly.

Certainly a different way of thinking about commitment. A one-year scholarship offer? But if that’s the understanding on both sides from the beginning, then they are just following through with the plan. Doesn’t mean he was kicked off the team. His one-year offer expired.

Tuition & fees at KU for out-of-state students is $28,239.

Maybe they should get more, but student-athletes on full scholarship aren’t getting nothing.

@jayballer67 Love the stache!

@justanotherfan Interesting point about Coach K and Duke. Maybe a similar point could be made about Wooden and UCLA? Is one phenomenal coach in a school’s history sufficient to elevate the job to the second best in the country? Not sure I’d put UCLA quite so high, although it’s certainly a prestigious job.

Interesting this decision was made under the Interim Athletic Director. Or maybe not so interesting, I don’t know. But it seems like a big decision, and interim leaders typically just try to maintain the status quo. Great decision, regardless.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yes, his “casual demeanor” didn’t work under Self.

@KansasComet We do need the investigation to be over. One way or the other. Get rid of the uncertainty, then recruiting will pick up again.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yep. We have solid role players. We lack elite stars. We need this recruiting cloud clear up.

@bmensch1 You’re right! Let it fly!

Except that Mobley has hit 40% from 3 this season. Not volume, but he’s good from that range.

@BigBad I think he just looks pasty, weak, and tired.

Jalen is not recovered. No boards.
