No Koa, no Aristode, Burries looking like he was gonna keel over and die at any moment, and ADO twists his ankle at the end, but we beat a fully health Houston team.

Now don’t have a letdown against Baylor

Add Bradly looking like he will never see a basketball court after this year to all that
Although he hit a big one at the end

We're not talking about Aristode's illness enough. He's out for Baylor and doubtful for Kansas on Saturday.

There's a very real chance that he's out until the conference tournament

Yessir.

I had it in 8th grade and it took a good month for me to get over it. When he’s recovered, he’ll likely have lost a bunch of stamina and muscle. He’s not gonna be right for a while I’m afraid

Shows both Koa and ADO in practice uniforms and no braces.

If Arizona ended up with Arenas instead of Burries it would’ve been a much different season. @Russ Smith

Yeah he has talent and obviously the car accident and the knee set him back but he has no clue how to play yet. USC is a crazy team I really hadn't watched them much this year. Baker Mazzera takes the craziest shots you can imagine, many go in but he eventually went cold, dude is a 26 year old college player! Arenas just one bad shot after another, bunch of turnovers UCLA baited him into at least 3 charges. I love Ausar and I know they have injuries but really undisciplined team.

Still trying to figure out the play where Baker Mazzara saved the ball holding it falling out of bounds. He threw the ball and hit Eric Freeney, in the face, on purpose, black eye swollen etc. It wasn't even debatable he looked right at him before he threw it. They reviewed it for a flagrant but said just common foul I guess they're not allowed to assume intent but it was so blatantly obvious

Best game of his career for Freeney, huge because Brown has completely lost his shot can't make an open 3 to save his life, so Freeney stepping up is a big deal. Still not as good as I thought we'd be, Dailey huge disappointment, but I love the 3 guard lineup and the 5 out offense is giving people fits now

Musselman and SC are perfect for eachother. Just put a bunch of guys together and roll the ball out regardless of fit. He somehow how two high ranked bigs coming in next year somehow.

Cronin does play a lot of guys. UCLA could turn into a scary matchup in the tourney with Dent looking better with all their shooters.

Cronin let that cat out of the bag last November. Way it should be. Now can you tell your coach to stop being a penis wrinkle and play at McKale again?

Hot take: Darryn Peterson makes KU worse when he plays. There is no flow or rhythm when he’s out there compared to when he’s not
