In Your Face!!

I can't let the weekend go by without mentioning yesterday's amazing performance by Julian Wright in KU's impressive performance against those despicable Missouri Tigers! In your face, Mizzou!

While it still feels wonderful when we annihilate Missouri in any sport, I have to say that I don't detest Missouri nearly as much since Quin Snyder left. Their new coach Mike Anderson seems like a decent and likable guy. We had to laugh yesterday when the Tigers were playing typical Missouri basketball--jacking up ridiculous 3-point shots over and over--and Anderson calls a timeout and then just stares at all the guys in the huddle. After many seconds of just staring, he finally looks at the main offender and just says, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Although we were only reading his lips, it was still so funny!

In the 92-74 rout of the Tigers, Julian finished with 33 points and 12 rebounds, the most by a Jayhawk since Nick Collison in 2003. At least 4 of those baskets were dunks! The great thing is, in the next game it might be a different KU player that steps up to be the leading scorer. We have so many different weapons, and yet sometimes I wonder if that's not the reason we struggle some games. No one really knows who the go-to guy should be!

If you missed the game, check out the play-by-play from the Journal-World or the article about Julian's performance. Go Hawks!
