Kansas Post Game Thread

[Gurleyman]

I tried to tell you all about Mullins. The dude competes. He’s not some scrawny kid who is going to get pushed around. He’s smart, tough and has moxie. His shots won’t always go in - but he brings a ton to the table.

(Sorry, sorry - just one of those times I love being right).

Shout out to Malachi. Dude played some big minutes when it looked like Silas might have been rattled by the environment. Down 8 he steadied the offense played some great d was scrappy going after the ball.

That turnaround from Braylon is a shot I’m pretty sure nobody else on our team could create or make… in his “second” game

 

[BFieldHusky]

Really got nothing from the PG position, no Reed, and beat a top 20 team in the hardest venue in the country.

Mullins is a very special player, I saw it right away when I watched him in AAU/high school. Never expected Big Eric to be this good this early, he was great again.

AK huge bounce back after being a ghost. He did nothing and then all of a sudden he was doing everything. Solo needs to fix the mental mistakes because he is a dynamic scorer. Mullins and Solo together is just so dynamic. You can't lock down both of them..

Silas was totally lost today, impressive to win like that at Kansas while getting nothing from him.

That was a grown man win. We took a lot of swings from Kansas at points in the game and then we shut them down defensively. The offense eventually showed.

Mullins was the star of the game.

Going to be something special when Tarris is back to 100%.

I dare say that there were stretches where this team's D tonight was better as a whole than the recent championship teams.

yes very solid but also some of that has to be put on Kansas offense (or lack thereof).

Seems they are going to very heavily rely on Peterson to drive that offense once he returns.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Uh, no. Reed healthy is a top-3 center in the country. Reibe is just the Clingan-lite to his Sanogo.

Me thinks Reed Jr. is going to get back to "healthy" and game ready real quickly after watching from the bench what the team can do without him.

Replace cheese with Mullins

I think 99.999999% of the board was uber excited for Mullins. This isn’t news you were breaking.

Maybe now people will finally realize we also have one of those freshman to drool over in Braylon Mullins. And also realize his defense is not a concern

 

[NickDanger]

Is this the first victory over Kansas or the first victory over Kansas at Kansas?

First over Kansas

 

[ValleyGuy]

That’s an average Kansas team on the floor - but winning at Phog is not easy. Especially when you’re led by two freshman. Awesome

 

[brihman]

First ever win against the Jayhawks. Does this qualify for putting up a banner? 😁

Granted it helped a little to miss Peterson but it’s almost impossible to win at Kansas so this is a great W

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Big time win, Reibe is much better than advertised and already playing like a veteran. Mullins is going to be special. He still has some rust he’s shaking off but I haven’t felt this way about a freshman since Jordan Hawkins made his UConn debut

 

[UCLJ0211]

What incredible Freshmen we have. Mullins could score 20 in his sleep. Reibe is becoming our next Clingan, and might even be farther along than he was at this point. The future is bright and this team at full strength will be scary in March.

First victory period against them.

Can't be more impressed with Reibe. Two A+ games in a row from that kid, in a tough place to play. I'm through the moon with how good he's looked.

And yes on Mullins - he's what this team has been missing.

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

Mullins and Reibe are stars. Silas will be fine. Need JStew to contribute in other ways when he shot isn’t falling. Incredible halftime coaching adjustments by Hurley and Co

You’re weird, man.

 

[Palatine]

Mullins is better than McNeeley and probably our best player. Great win.

That's just wrong. Liam was hurt most of his one season here. You don't have to blow out Liam's candle to make Mullins candle shine brighter. Mullins looks like he may be one on the best freshman we have had. But why piss on McNelley?

 

[Sibeerian]

How about Mullins hitting the two free throws to ice it, in front of the hostile students. Stone cold killer.

Everyone has known about Mullins

His defense was excellent.

 

[Deepster]

Mullins is Jimmy Chitwood.

And it isn’t that I don’t feel we played well, they did a great job with defensive wrinkles on our screens the first half. Looks like we adjusted enough at the half but they took us out more than we played poorly.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Beat Florida next week and we will have 4 road/neutral wins before conference play. All against Top 30 teams. That's how you get a 1 seed.

 

[Hurlees4hed]

Mullins is going to feast on Florida's guards. Can't wait to see it.

 

[3rdbass]

Enjoy Mullins this year. He is gone. He is so smooth. Glad Karaban and Ball stepped up and Reibe played well again. Smith steadied the point guard position in the 2nd half. Demary had an off game. We are going to have the best starting line-up when Reed is back. Great win and first one over Kansas is crazy for a storied program like us. Go UConn!!!!

Cause it’s true.

KU was up 44-38 with 14:02 to go in the game.

They scored 12 points at home over the last 14 minutes of the game.

You've posted this enough times now that I'm pretty sure this isn't trolling and just one of the dumbest opinions possible. Impressive

 

[Shabazzkets]

Braylon will undoubtedly be the subject of this thread. He appeared to be fully engaged and unrestricted. Brought the instant offense that we needed.
As a result, there will be a change in the starting lineup for the upcoming game. Mullins will take over, while Stewart will be replaced.

It is not just the instant offense though. He plays a nice all around game. He was better defensively than I anticipated. Jaylin surrenders penetration whereas Braylon moves his feet. Massive difference.
