Lagerald Vick officially back in the starting lineup... Good sign for #KUbball . Tipoff up next. No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 17 Villanova at a FIRED UP Allen Fieldhouse.

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:02:14 PM
Vick is HYPED... Tip-off seconds away. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:02:32 PM
#Kubball wins the tip.

Dotson goes #BANG #KUBBALL

TAKE THAT 3 POINTER VILLANOVA!!!

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:03:46 PM
A Devon Dotson 3 to open the game for KU.
If that dude ever gets going from long range consistently, look out. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:04:02 PM
Dotson 5

Off a Garrett offensive rebound, Dotson drives in for a layup. Great offensive start for the freshman PG. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:05:04 PM
Dotson with 5 quick points for #KUbball ... A shot-clock 3-pointer and a tough drive to the rim. 5-0, Kansas, 18:26 1st half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:05:08 PM
Vick #BANG #KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:05:38 PM
Some quick ball movement leads to a Vick 3-pointer and KU is up 8-1. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:05:50 PM
Before that Dotson turnover, that was about as good of a start as #KUbball could ask for... 8-3, KU 17:24

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:06:36 PM
Dedric Lawson with the Landen Lucas special by opening up a driving lane for Devon Dotson here #KUbball t.co

by Shane Jackson via twitter 12/15/2018 5:07:58 PM
A lot of NBA scouts crammed in here today.

Tied up at 8 after #KUBBALL goes cold

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:09:46 PM
Eric Paschall will catch and shoot from 3 if KU lets him, as you may remember from that Final 4 matchup a few months ago.
Paschall with 7 of Nova's 8 points.
KU 8, Villanova 8. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:10:42 PM
Grimes' last 3-point miss was the perfect example of what #KUbball coach Bill Self means when he talks about this team needing better feel and understanding. Rushed it and it was a shot he could get literally any time. 8-8 at AFH. Nova on a 7-0 run...

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:11:05 PM
Bad news is it's 8-8

Good news is it's not 2-22

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:12:10 PM
Some notable names in here today, beyond Pat Mahomes... Nick Collison, 2019 #KUbball signees Christian Braun and Mackey McBride, Landen Lucas, Clay Young, Justin Wesley.

#KUBBALL picking up illegal screens like crazy. Huge Jamari tribute.

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:14:13 PM
Bad no call an then a weak call. All again #KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:15:06 PM
Rough start for Grimes... No reason for him to leave his man there and Self's letting him know about the mistake that cost Kansas 3 points... 13-8, Nova. Wildcats on a 12-0 run. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:15:26 PM
Saddiq Bey with quite the stretch here. Tip-in jam. 3 ball. Hits the floor for a steal. #KUbball

Big time pass by Vick there... Perfect spot. Lawson grabs it and gets the and-1. 13-11, Nova leads #KUbball 13:49 1H

by Matt Tait via twitter 12/15/2018 5:16:38 PM
Dedric Lawson

#BANG #KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:17:46 PM
Dedric Lawson finds himself open in the left corner for 3 after kicking the ball out of a double team and relocating.
Smart move and looked confident shooting the 3. #KUbball up 14-13

by Benton Smith via twitter 12/15/2018 5:18:22 PM
Worst charge call in the history of charge calls?

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 12/15/2018 5:18:36 PM
