Maybe this is the wakeup call to prep for the B12 tournament. Gets the bad ball out of their system. Let somebody else get upset in the tourney for a change.

@tundrahok thx! She was a week late
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 A real COVID baby!
 - 
					
					
					
					
@tundrahok I had to qt 2 weeks, plus another since they were late! He likes me though!

Dam , Dave ended up with 18 points & 10 rebounds - -wow
 - 
					
					
					
					
The best part for Bill? KU made that comeback on one three point attempt in the last 14 minutes…
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark Dave jumpers are kind of like 3-point attempts except they’re only worth 2 points.

I am to old for this - - make my pacemaker tickle

Anybody hear if the novas gillespe’s out?

if we can get one more win our streak for 20 win Seasons stays in tact
 - 
					
					
					
					
20 points in the 1st half - - - 47 points in the 2nd half
 - 
					
					
					
					
Cunningham hurt his ankle at the end of game. He did walk off on his own.
 - 
					
					
					
					
No games till next Thursday now - -rest tomorrow
 - 
					
					
					
					
@jayballer67 I just noticed that. 47 points in a half is a ton for this team. 20 points in a half is piss poor for any team!
Just shows we need intensity. We totally suck without it. We’re ok when we’re amped up.

@BShark why isn’t likele playing? Osu guard
 - 
					
					
					
					
Enjoying listening to Dave postgame. He has really good focus and positive energy.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@approxinfinity smart guy
 - 
					
					
					
					
I think Dave is going to be a monster next year.
 - 
					
					
					
					
I loved DG, svi and Malik! They’d all start giggling.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Then poor Perry, his 4th yr, he finally could look at the camera. It was good for him though.
 - 
					
					
					
					
All right, we get to see Harris in the interview!
 - 
					
					
					
					
Not as talkative as Dave
 - 
					
					
					
					
This kid has a story too. Sad one
 - 
					
					
					
					
Harris is goofy
 he doesnt finish his sentences and nervous
 - 
					
					
					
					
@approxinfinity but great for a young one
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 not sure I know his story other than he’s from Columbia MO and was on the MOKAN team
 - 
					
					
					
					
Always felt bad for Vick in the post game interviews. Terrified
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 sure. You cant be more goofy than Jeff Withey, and he turned out alright
 - 
					
					
					
					
Jalen only played 17 minutes tonight. Just wasn’t his night. But that’s the difference in rebounds. If he’d just gotten his average in boards, we wouldn’t have been outrebounded.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DanR I think it was a year ago last winter, his brother was killed when he was w/a friend playing with a gun. Maybe jr hi? Not sure exactly all the facts, but that’s what happened. I think the Braun family has been pretty good to him. I’m pretty sure he was at KU when it happened. Not positive.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 hand injury
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark how long is he out? Serious?
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 Damn. Didn’t know that story. Kind of explains some things. You just never know that these kids are dealing.
 -

He’s been out for weeks now. Last two were “game time decisions” iirc.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark he was jumping around on the bench, couldn’t figure it out, thx!
 - 
					
					
					
					
@rockchalk82 I think it’s a pretty crappy life for a lot of kids and we should count our blessings. Now we know why they love KU! Family!

Yeah Harris had a tough upbringing, who knows where he would be without the Brauns?
This is their other friend: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/isiaih-mosley-1.html
We don’t really need another wing but man, he’s really good. Lol.

Bill talking about how the D sucked in the first half. Crickets about the O sucking.

Found this article about Dajion Harris too… 13 years old. Argh. https://krcgtv.com/news/local/grandmother-of-13-year-old-boy-killed-in-columbia-speaks-out
 - 
					
					
					
					
Sad.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DanR just found that too. Dad died too.
 - 
					
					
					
					
I read somewhere he lived with Braun’s since jr. hi.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 more or less

Lol, classic Bill.

@BShark tell me more
 - 
					
					
					
					
Bill said that Tristan had some nagging stuff, won’t go away, just doesn’t feel right. Sounds like that could be Bill-speak for long COVID…?
 - 
					
					
					
					
@approxinfinity can’t play-itis, severe case.

To be fair good defense sets up good offense. Look at the first OSU game’s transition points.
