That fight over the ball happened in the 2nd half, if I recall correctly.

Was a one point game when that happened and they ended up winning by 12 or so

Yeah, but we had outscored them by 15 points leading up to that in order to get the 1 point lead. Context.

Your obsession with Kenpom knows no bounds.

Shaq Moore, except for his apparent unwillingness to play through injury, is a prototypical Bill Self guard. Just changes our team when he is in.

All of that comeback was mostly in the first half (we tied it and were down by 2 going into half). In the preceding 8 minutes of the 2nd half before the double technical, it remained a close game (47-46). It ceased being so after that and ended 74-61. Greater context.

Don't need KenPom to know Dickinson is one of the best players in the country.

You see what you want to see.

I saw KU outscore TCU by 12 after that, yes

If he can shoot the 3 a little bit…

He hit two absolute dagger threes late in the 2nd half yesterday, once which quieted the crowd after TCU had just hit a three to pull the game close. Basically nobody on this team has been able to hit those shots all year. Just huge for spacing and allows for Dickinson's passing ability to flourish (which this team has never been able to use to its advantage in his two seasons here).

Self will reduce his minutes soon when KJ returns though.

I'll take the 38.5% clip from him all day. For perspective, that's better than every person on last year's team not named Jankovic - who by the way hit a grand total of five threes in walk-on land.

How can Self ignore what Flory did on the floor. Who helps KU win more games, Flory or KJ? It's obvious to anyone Flory helps this team win better than KJ. So whyt cant Self see this fact?

Flory is taller, a better shot blocker, rebounds, and can actually finish around the basket.

KJ is more important though.

You know this.
