KU has now played 4 games against teams currently ranked in the Top 12 and are 3-1 in those games.

Great win ESPECIALLY since we went brainless for 12 minutes. Pretty amazing how Self has gotten his teams to flat out believe that they are always in a game. They certainly remained poised down the stretch.

Indeed.

I said we're gonna win this a few pages ago. I may have been busy yelling at my teevee for the last few minutes.

This is the defense and rebounding we've been begging for from this team. Now that they've shown they can do it - expectations for that level from here on.

Champions Classic, Maui Invitational and Big 12/Big East Challenge so technically none of these were scheduled by Kansas.

and Elmarko he had a key poke. He's a solid Defender for a frosh

Man. They hit some late and tough shots. Hated seeing it come down to the last shot, but the defense came through.

Beat:
UK
TENN
UCONN

Lost to Shaka, but if we play Marquette again, we'll win.

Pretty good resume so far. Tonight may have been our best defensive game so far. Love these guys.

Fun Friday night.
Defense looked lock down and UConn was getting bailed out by prayer threes.
KJ Adams is my favorite.

I got a 50 percent boost on KU last night and went with ML but shoulda gone with spread ( - 3 ).

Yesterday late afternoon and evening I attended the Chicago Elite Classic. Wanted to leave early so I could watch both the Oregon/Washington game and the KU/UConn game. Was not happy that my buddy who drove didn't care about either game and made me stay. Yes, I could have taken a cab/Uber home and STRONGLY considered doing as such.
Finally I convinced him to leave. Got home in time to see the last 3:30 of the KU game and the last half of the 4th Quarter of the Oregon/Washington game. Was a great night sports wise for me.

On a sort of related note. I watched a kid play last night that really impressed me. Listed as a generous 6 feet tall, he was a mix between Russell Robinson, Sherron Collins, Jeremey Chase, and Mario Chalmers. Except he's White.
I'm not sure he's good enough but the kid has Dook written all over him. That being said, I am predicting Dan Hurley takes a look at him. Absolutely has to remind him of himself and his brother Bobby.
Kid's name is Ty Macariola.
