Great game! We have a bunch of great kids. The scary thing is that we have three big time players coming in for next season.

We got a fairly called game @ KU!

They kept KU's big man in check

Offense kept chugging and defense was outstanding

Classy interview by Drew after the game

With Rhule leaving this week (which I don't blame him and I understand it was his dream etc etc) it just makes me appreciate CSD's tenure and dedication to our program all the more.

Thank you CSD!

I agree that Butler should have killed the clock late in the game but he is forgiven!He played a terrific game.As stated,Teague's 3 from the corner was huge.Mayer delivered the dime.Big picture question.Are we quicker than KU?

We only turned the ball over 5 times. Amazing composure in a difficult environment!

I predict Kansas stays ahead of us like they were with two losses and a loss against a common opponent that we beat.

Size could be limited, I understand they are available only in Extra-Large and Extra-tough
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
