Yesterday for the KU @TCU game I traveled to Basehor to watch the game with konza63, who has been back in NEKS helping his mom Louann. The three of us had a wonderful time together enjoying the company and the game. Sorry, we neglected to take pics.

Looking ahead I find myself wishing we were going to be watching Wednesday’s game together as the Jayhawks travel to Morgantown to play game #2 against WVU. KU is 13-5 against Huggy Bear’s Boys since they joined the Big 12 for AY2012-13, a perfect 8-0 in The Phog, but just 2-5 @WVU. I figure they could use all the positive karmic cosmic alignment they could get!

And don’t forget, folks, Wednesday’s big game will be streamed to you by ESPN on its newest “station”, ESPN+.

“Thanks?”

Do you think ESPN would ever put a PUKE-UNCheat game on that service?

More of a rhetorical question, because we all know the answer.

I'd call WVU a "must win" game, but unless/until Baylor gets tripped up, every game is a "must win". This is just a tougher "must win" than most.

WVU needs to beat us and Baylor twice to stay alive in the race, so they'll be ready.

They played us tough in Lawrence, but we benefited from having several people contribute on offense: Azibuike had 17 (5-10 free throws), Dotson had 16 and Garrett had 12. WVU got theirs from Tshiebwe (17) and McBride (13). They kicked our collective butts on the glass (44 rebounds for WVU to KU's 30).

Clearly, we've developed into the Dotson/Dok show on offense, but we do play solid defense overall. If we play D like we can, stay out of foul trouble, and find at least one other guys outside of Dotson and Dok to score, I'm hopeful.

I, too, could be more confident if you two gents could be together at the SAME VENUE for Wednesday’s game.
