Some of these pure luck (off the rim bounce that is) bad shots by KU that just land in no mans land and give them an "offensive" rebound is crazy.

I said we had to shoot 50% or we would get run out of the gym. We are at 49% right now after shooting 19% the first 12 minutes.

This win… given the injuries is special. Beating a top 5 team with a 7 man rotation. Tough!!!
