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

3rd & 7 37yd

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

That was short-lived... Maybe 90 seconds or so. Didn't appear to change much about what KU does. KJ Lawson checks in for Dotson. #KUbball leads 56-33

Dedric Lawson back on the bench resting his awesome.

He is also practicing his Wooden Award pose. Left or right side?

Charlie Moore though Grimes was Superman for a split second. Despite rumors - he can't fly like that.

UDOKA JUST DESTROYED EMPORIA. IT IS NO LONGER A CITY IN KANSAS.

That was... unfortunate? Azubuike with the MONSTER DUNK over ESU's Justin Washington. And the ball hit Washington in the face after it went through to add a little sting. #KUbball leads 61-33.

Unfortunate? I call it fantastic slomo replay

Udoka dunks on Justin Washington #kubball t.co

The PA announcer put in 0 minutes working on new names this season. Great work!

Ummm - Emporia State. Maybe stand in front of Devon Dotson? He is destroying your life right now.

ahhh freshmen playing defense. It's so bad. It gets better. Maybe. Hopefully.

Dedric Lawson has now won the Naismith.

The Heisman is not out of the question.

The basketball finds Dedric Lawson.

I mean - he implanted a special device the makes the ball go to him, but it's still impressive

Dedric Lawson goes #bang - because he can.

Odd - I don't think anyone remembers something like this being your experience in AFH.

by Matt Scott via twitter 10/26/2018 1:48:06 AM
That's it for Dedric Lawson tonight... 31 points, 15 rebounds, 23 minutes. Heck of a debut there and very little of it had anything to do with superior size/athleticism than opponent. He's just a ball player and he can do it all. #KUbball leads 83-55, 2:15 to play

by Matt Tait via twitter 10/26/2018 1:52:58 AM
Dedric Lawson finishes with 31 points after this bucket on a nice pass from Charlie Moore #kubball t.co

In one exhibition game at Kansas - Dedric Lawson has become the greatest college basketball player to ever play college basketball.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 10/26/2018 2:03:43 AM
KU with 22 turnovers.

That's 22 times running up and down the AFH stairs tomorrow.

Sucks to be them!

ESU coach Craig Doty on Dedric Lawson's outing: "31 points and 15 rebounds in 23 minutes.. That's a night. He's going to be a matchup nightmare throughout the Big 12."

Grimes and Dotson found out they'd start tonight during shootaround when Self put them out with the first team to walk through plays. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:22:36 AM
Dedric Lawson: Self told him it was the ugliest 31 he'd ever seen. And Lawson agreed with him. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:23:12 AM
Self: Thought the first 5 to 7 minutes were pretty good. Then after that not very good at all.
Also thinks it's hard for big guys to play little guys.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:31:18 AM
Self: KU's bigs turned it over at an alarming rate.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:31:51 AM
Self: Dotson has some of the "Frank explosiveness" but nobody else really did a good job of playing downhill tonight.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:32:38 AM
Self: KU didn't run anything tonight offensively to save some things for early regular season games.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:33:16 AM
Self: On Lawson's "ugly" 31 - Dedric can score but he got off balance a lot and he can do better with that.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:34:16 AM
Self: The other day Udoka hit 19 out of 20 FTs as Self watched the other day. Saw tonight the ones he shot didn't look great. (0 for 2)
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:35:36 AM
Self: He'll make a decision on a potential redshirt with Agbaji & his family at some point, but nothing has been decided. He's too good to play 5 minutes per game. He will need to prove himself or they may look at a redshirt.
#KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 10/26/2018 2:37:39 AM
Self: KU should be able to play inside-out with its bigs but didn't play to its strengths tonight.
