I heard that Penix was in attendance, but had to leave at half when he dropped his popcorn bag on his foot.  He's day-to-day.

I kid, I kid.

Al Durham has 15 pts?

Never thought I'd see that, but man I'm excited to see him play this year.

Smith and Durham 27, Western Illinois 25...

[Walking Boot of Doom]

Really good to see that Phin is getting some run.

How’s he looking?

That's because he is very, very slow.  

We're sort of seeing next year's team now and I'm ecstatic.   Next season could be special....and I still say this season may be way better than some think.

Yup.

no DeRon or DeVonte next year .

All others return.

Hmmmmmmm

Justin Smith had a very good game against Gannon and has continued to play well tonight with 12 pts. on 6-10 shooting, 4 reb. and no TO's.  What a difference maker he could be if he can continue to play with that level of effort and focus.  

Yep. Him and Al compliment each other too which I like. Could be a very good duo

When did Crean get the KU job?

I don’t know he’s down one at half to WCU so maybe after this year.

I'm sayin'!!   I know a few people like to disagree with me, but I've been pretty consistent in my feelings for what's happening within this basketball program.   The future is pretty damned positive.

When Green returns he is going to have to bring his A game. If he does what he has done in years past these guards are too good this year. Previous years we just had to play him because of the lack of production, don’t think that’s going to be the case this year

8-1-1 so far

[Old Friend]

Justin Smith looks like he wants to play in the NBA soon.   Completely different player.

[cchuntsman]

Justin looks soooo much better with his handle.

If he can start hitting the 3 then I think he can make it 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Relieved to see we didn't come out flat to start the 2nd half.

Any updates on Hunter?

[reconmkd]

Any updates on Hunter?

Definitely looked like he asked to be taken out after his basket

Justin looks really good at both ends. Would be huge for our season if he can give us this type of effort. Glad for that dude.

Is he even on the bench?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Kobe Webster averaged 17 points last season and shot 40.9 percent on 3-pointers.  C.J. Duff averaged 11.2 points and shot 42.6 percent on 3s last season.

Thus far tonight they're a combined 6-18 on 3's and have 17 pts. so we're keeping them under control.
