Damn...looks like Perry Ellis suffered a bad knee injury less than 2 min. into the game. Someone at the game tweeted that someone came out of the locker room and said something to his mom and she started crying and then turned to someone near her and mouthed the word "bad". Hopefully once they get him to the hospital it turns out to be ok. [Reply]
Maybe I'm reading too much into this but damn is Self a GOAT or what? These guys played on the same team. I looked at sidelines roster it's a bunch of guys who would be like the 10th man at KU. [Reply]
This showed how popular basketball is to the people of Kansas. Sold out crowd for the Aftershocks game was lit AF. Had a NCAA tourney atmosphere. [Reply]

Sounds like an aging rock band reunion tour? NTTIAWWT
Not dissing the concept, I attended Van Halen, Kiss tours lately because I liked them back in the day. [Reply]
