Also--- and you guys brought up the subject of kids--- I watched the game, in the hospital, while I held my not-yet-two-day-old-daugther. She was born Monday morning. Emery Anne 

And, dont worry--- she won't be saving the ball under our own basket in the 2044 Women's March Madness. 

On a serious note--- I have a new found respect for my wife. My god. Tough af.

Congrats! Such an awesome feeling!

Made me smile to hear Gunn say, after the game, that both Cheaney and Hulls were helping him work on his shot.

Also smiled when I heard Malik said that, during a timeout, Cheaney took him aside and told him he had to trust his teammates (ie I assume he was telling him to pass out of the post).

Malik grinned a bit when he stated that the refs didn’t call Ware’s arm hook on his decisive sky hook. Ware could have easily been called for that (and would have been called if we were playing Duke etc).

Rewatched the Ware smitty-to-skyhook…as Ware starts to work Reed, Walker stands up and says something to KW. I’m guessing just encouragement, or maybe that the double’s not coming. Would love to know.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned,  but just curious on why MM had a shirt under his jersey in the 2nd half,  and not the first. Just found it odd.

I see. I see why you haven’t been posting that much. You would rather be there for your 1 day old daughter, than post here. Just unbelievable, unforgivable!

People have commented, but I really do think Walker (both on the court, on the bench and off the court), is more of an asset to this team than we could have imagined. 

I’ve been told he is as nice of a kid as you’ll ever meet, always smiling and in a good mood, a real student of the game and a heck of a hard worker. Perfect seasoned vet who can be a spark off the bench and a role model for the younger guys.

I've never understood the criticism that CJ has received. He's in his second year and seems to be starting to figure things out. His upside is unbelievable and he is starting to show it on defensive side which is exactly what he should do. And now Cupps is getting ripped for his play. He is a freshman who is being put in difficult positions but is handling it to the best of his ability. He plays harder than anyone and is at least a nuisance to whoever he is guarding. I'm pretty sure he is going to get better as the season goes along. We want instant gratification and if a young kid doesn't look like an All-American, we criticize. Same with MM. Give them time to learn and grow. Obviously, CMW sees something in them.

It's a tough crowd obviously. With Gunn I understand it more, he's a gifted athlete and second year player and until last night didn't look like he had attended a practice. Obviously he's coming around, so great news for all of us. I'm with you on Cupps though, kid is giving it all and has made very few mistakes and still getting raked over the coals. Yes he has gotten beat on defense a few times, but not enough to warrant the criticism. He'll be a terrific 4yr player and fan favorite is my guess.

Gallo's broken shot

Has to be mental. I think he’ll get it back soon…I hope so anyways.

He's not playing this weekend and will be a long shot for Kansas. Likely going to be held out till Nebraska.

I would hope so.

We are 2-0 in conference. We will very likely win all three cupcake games without him. Let's hope we can get him to complete 100% before he's back.

I don't know, the form on one of his 3pt attempts against Michigan did not look good.
