If I was Hubert I’d get a little annoyed with my predecessor attending all of my games. It just makes it seem like Roy is actively ready to step back in if things go bad.
Best
KU got gifted a game last season with Roy in attendance. Seems the officials wanna let Roy enjoy a W so I'd want him in the stands if I were Hubert.
I can’t top what’s been said, but it’s worth repeating:
Grill: performance for the ages, almost Lafester’ish.
Holmes: he’s a DOG- kept hitting shots late in the 2nd half to keep us in the game.
Bob Jones: didn’t back down off of Bacot once. Jones played grown man basketball today.
Lipsey: still learning, but had some key plays and is a baller.
Overall- amazing team performance.
Side note: If I remember correctly, during one stretch, we put 4 or 5 in a row on Kansas with ol’ Roy at the helm back in the day…I imagine watching us beat his team again brought back a lot of great memories for him. It sure did for me.

Lafester was against Iowa (granted it was a good version of Iowa not the current joke) but this was against number one Carolina.
Great game all around. If Grill can produce even half of what he did offensively tonight, I'd love it. I have been down on his underperormance , but I'm hoping he uses this as a springboard to more consistency.
Good job, Clones!
Good job, Clones!
Well, obviously Grill and TJ took a look at my post from last Monday in the Milwaukee game thread and thought, "Hey, this Larry guy might be on to something. Let's give it a try!"
Holmes hit the calmest looking shots, time after time. No panic at all from that guy. Gamer
Not taking away anything from IZB- but the floater game is preferable to the step back midrange game.
I think Holmes has more offensive tools than Brockington. Can score more different ways and much better at creating for others. Brockington was a better rebounder and defender. I also think it helps that Holmes has a better team around him whereas Brockington was literally the only guy other teams had to care about some games. I think they both fit what each team needed. With our front court we don't need our guards to rebound as much as we needed Brockington to last year
Actually, I think he does have a lot of *genetic* talent just needs to get out of his own head.
Wasn’t Iowa 7th ranked at the time (I might me misremembering)? Not #1 but still… and they ran Dr. Tom off… never change Hawks.
There will probably be a game in which Holmes gets that floater to potentially win it, and it doesn't fall, but it is an absolutely preferred shot and I like how it gives the option to possibly hit a cutter.
IZB was a monster with his jumper but it often was a bit of a last gasp since nothing else was going.
