Well, they say he wasn't good. Not even close. He did make the shot that may win this team the B12 again, though, so I'll give him a pass for now.

If EJ can continue to play like he did tonight and also Saturday against Texas then KU will be in good shape. I have been saying it all year that he needs to drive to the hoop a lot more.

I don't think we can expect this EJ from game to game. He's never shown that kind of commitment or consistency. If he only comes out for big games, we'll just have to take it.

And WTF happened to Bmac tonight? I never thought I'd see him lack confidence like that. We really could have used his scoring. Glad we found a way to win despite that.

I don't know. I've also considered him to be pretty unflappable. He certainly was in our past road games. It's probably just an aberration, but not a good sign.

This goes back to what I said earlier today, though, about Withey being our team's MVP. Even with McLemore doing hardly anything, we still were able to win through our defense (and our defense works largely because of Withey's presence in the lane).

Agreed about Withey. And his getting position and getting foul calls on the offensive end. Not to mention making FTs down the stretch. Withey is the man!
