Game blog: No. 1 KU basketball vs. Emporia State

3rd & 7 37yd

Garrett has so much of that kind of thing in his game it's not even funny... Didn't show hardly any of it last year. He will this year. The board and the coast-to-coast finish. #KUbball

Things to work on

1 - passing out of the double team.

2 - moving without the ball when big man is double teamed

Wow. These dudes are going to be battling for "play of the night" every night... That block of a 3-pointer and coast-to-coast finish by Grimes was every bit as good as what Garrett did a couple minutes earlier. So. Much. Talent. #KUbball

Quentin Grimes = Curly Neal

Quentin Grimes with the block and then a layup on the other end #kubball t.co

KU's defense is just suffocating and stifling... ESU cannot run anything. #KUbball

#KUBBALL is up 30-9

#KUbball has looked really good going to the rim tonight... Multiple guys. To be expected against an overmatched ESU squad but a lot of it translates to any competition. It's a mindset. KU leads 32-12.

Dedric Lawson = #StatPadder

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 10/26/2018 12:44:09 AM
Lawson got 2 offensive boards there AND finished the shot and now has 14 points and 12 boards... IN NINE MINUTES!!! #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 10/26/2018 12:44:38 AM
#KUBBALL is 4-12 from three.

Your offensive state to watch this season.

Dedric Lawson

Oh the band dug deep tonight. They are pulling out Poker Face.

Daring. Bold.

The freshmen all think college basketball is super easy right now.

Every ESU bucket the rest of the game should be worth 4 points.

#KUbball shooting 48 percent from the floor and 40 percent (6-of-15) from 3-point range this half. More importantly, KU has held ESU to 21.1 percent shooting. KU leads 45-22. :46 ticks left 1H

HALFTIME at AFH: #KUbball leads Emporia State 45-22. Dedric Lawson with 14 points & 12 rebounds; Charlie Moore with 9 points (3 3-pointers) and Quentin Grimes with 7 to lead the Jayhawks...

by Matt Tait via twitter 10/26/2018 12:56:08 AM
Any thoughts from the first half?

Dedric Lawson got a double double in his first 9 minutes as a Jayhawk.

Clearly he will average 67 points and 34 rebounds per game this season.

Or can he?

Devon Dotson for 2 - cause he's better than those dudes that looked like they were just standing there as he blew by.

. @nick_schwerdt - I thought that Libman sign was Mountain Dew until I just really looked at it.

It made me want a Mountain Dew.

What is a Libman?

Azubuike with another power dribble that leads to a tie-up. Self looks at his assistants and shrugs. He's done that a lot tonight. Not the best debut for Jr. Dok. #KUbball leads 56-31, 14:32 2H

by Matt Tait via twitter 10/26/2018 1:20:32 AM
Dotson and Moore out there together right now... #KUbball
