The night KJ got hurt, KU lost for the 4th time in a 9 games. Flory became a starter and averaged 10 & 10 for a stretch where Kansas went 3-1, with the loss being the fluky Houston collapse. It was at THIS point that Self put KJ back into the starting lineup. KU is 2-3 since!

The non-KJ games were predictably the best the team has looked all year (particularly against Houston). Turns out playing a NBA big over KJ has major benefits both offensively and defensively, too bad we will never see it again.
