We dominated the first half, good defense and efficient scoring and they missed about 600 shots. Then things evened out a bit in the second half so it came back to middle ground. Ochai went off in the second half to save our bacon and Mitch played a very nice game. [Reply]
Harris needs to play 30 min due to his ability to get steals alone. Whats an avg possession worth? 1.3 points or something? If Harris gives you 2 steals more per game than Braun or Thompson that's worth at least 2.6 ppg and probably more than that as they often lead to fast breaks.
Im ready to hand the keys to Harris as our PG for the next 3 yrs. We just need to find scorers. [Reply]

He can also dribble which most of this team can’t really do.
UT now tomorrow in a game KU should be quite motivated for. [Reply]

Maybe because the kid needs live action time to learn and get better?

It's silly to be holding these tournaments a week before. KU is risking a lot in these next few days.
UVA is out of the ACC now. We'll see if they're able to play in the NCAAs. Why would they not have separated these things out more this year? [Reply]

It will be a miracle if this stupidity doesn't compromise some portion of the tournament.
If they needed to have the conference tournaments, they should have played them a week or two earlier. [Reply]
BREAKING—Kansas has a player who’s tested positive for COVID and has been removed from the Big 12 Tournament, sources tell @CBSSports. Jayhawks were supposed to play Texas tonight in the semis.
KU kept two players home due to COVID protocols, prior to leaving for Kansas City.
