The embiid to Hakeem comparisons are much closer than the other silly ones

[Imon Yourside]

and another phantom foul call.

I thought he started two games.

Good call.

Nice win tonight. I hope they can build off of this one.

[Ceej]

Impressive.

No real complaints from my end tonight.

Did he? Still think it was just to motivate Tharpe. They need Nadir playing close to this regularly if they want to reach their potential. He's one of the few guys on the team that can both facilitate the ball and make a 3PT shot. Made a big difference tonight.

[O.city]

Good win against a pretty good team.

Still things to iron out, but on the right path

Yeah @CU, @UF. Just checked on KUAthletics.

I'm still surprised to not see much of Mason -- even with Tharpe playing well.

[KC_Connection]

Yeah, I didn't expect this kind of win. New Mexico is very good, but we showed the kind of quality basketball we're capable of tonight for a longer period. Embiid is just such an all-around force out there.

Doesn't get any easier next with Georgetown, but at least it will be a true home game. Our first in a month.

I'm sure he won't be banished to the bench or anything, but there was no reason to change what was working tonight. This was the first game they played well since Towson.

[KC_Connection]

Tarik should be banished to the bench, though. There's no reason for him to get a single minute if Lucas can play like that.

The crazy thing is Lucas didn't play incredible by any means -- but, he did what he was supposed to and already has produced more than TB.

[O.city]

Black was brought in for his "leadership" but that isn't needed now. Just roll with the young guys. Let Lucas come off the bench as the first big
