Great second half. KU ramped up the intensity and locked them down really well.

any word on Flory?

any word on Flory?

Head coach Bill Self, however, assuaged any concerns about Bidunga’s status postgame, suggesting he’d be off the ankle for a couple days but “hopefully be practicing by Friday” — and he could even have returned to play on Tuesday in a particularly competitive set of circumstances.

He also said Dok's wrist injury was nothing just before it was determined he was out for the season.

Going forward, if Tuesday’s game and ensuing press conference were any indication, Self wants to get Bidunga on the floor as much as possible given that he’s not in the starting lineup. The coach once again sent out a lineup with the dual post presences of Bidunga and Dickinson, one that had acquitted itself rather well in the Champions Classic in Atlanta a week earlier.

After that game, Self joked that the Jayhawks had only practiced the arrangement for 20 minutes on one day; going back even further, Self had said prior to the season that he didn’t think it was likely at all to have them both on the floor, unless the Jayhawks were to play zone.

Now, he said on Tuesday, “I think we need to play that way.”

Self believes the Jayhawks will likely need to spend five to seven minutes per game in such an alignment.

“I think it just keeps our best players in the game, and Flory’s an athlete that can block and alter,” Self said. “He probably needs to play closer to 20 minutes than he does 12 or 15.”
