1 Point Win

Pleased with the defense, not so much with the offense.

And am I alone in thinking that Christian Braun was Space Cadet tonight?
Not just because his shot was off, but because so many times when something went wrong Braun was involved.
Wherever he was, I hope his normal mind set and solid game is back after this game.

Anyone know if he is 100% healthwise?

Two, Mr. Braun did not shoot the ball well but did a lot to help the team win including the 10 rebounds and as Corpus pointed out strong defense. I am really impressed by how little bad calls and shots not falling affected the rest of his game.

Amen to that, hairy! So many times a bad O game leads to a bad all-around game, but not in Braun’s case last night. To me last night he seemed totally out of it on O (0-5 from the floor with 4 turnovers), yet he was in there crashing the boards and playing D. In fact the whole team defense (with the exception of a few ugly minutes in H2 before going zone to help save Dave and Braun from fouling out) was superb last night, and it needed to be.

And 30 conference openers in a row (18 away!) in any conference as tough as the Big 12 is year in and year out is simply incredible! Looking at that 18, it seems like the Big 12 schedulers keep trying to get KU an early loss to curb the enthusiasm, as it were.
Oh well...
