“I would say if we were having a HORSE contest, I’d say Svi. But depending on game situations and things like that, then Frank’s pretty good,” Self added. “But Devonté’s good, too. I won’t quite put Lagerald (Vick) and Josh (Jackson) in that group, but I think they could become, at any particular game, could be our best shooter in the game.”

“Shaq in the movie Blue Chips would be the only one," joked Self, with laughter filled the room around him. "You know, just dunk it. And if you go back and watch it, there’s a lot of similarities. But that would be the only thing that (Azubuike) reminds me of.”
Remember when? Long Beach State routed Jayhawks in 1993

KU basketball succeeding on the plays we usually forget
“We script the first play, obviously, but after that, we haven’t really scripted much,” Self said. “I’ve found the best way to play with the guys that we presently play is to let them play, not to try to tell them how to play. I think that’s worked out better for us.”

Bryant player mistakenly runs out clock to assist in Brown win - CBSSports.com
After the go-ahead score for Brown, Ndugba took the inbound pass and, thinking his team had secured the win, dribbled to the ball to half-court to run out the clock. As he runs down the floor, even his teammates are calling for the ball to try and attempt a last-second shot, but instead, Ndugba chucked the ball in the air as time expired, trotting down the floor to try and catch a high-five from his teammate before he realized what he had done.
Fox gets 2nd triple-double in UK history; Kentucky rips apart Arizona State - CBSSports.com
Frosh point guard De'Aaron Fox had 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, joining a club of two. The only other triple-double in UK history came on Dec. 27, 1988, when Chris Mills did it. This is amazing to me. In the storied history of Kentucky basketball only Mills and and Fox have triple-doubles? It literally seems unbelievable. Yet here we are.

Poll Attacks: One AP voter appears to have totally missed Baylor's weekend - CBSSports.com
Mickles covers LSU for the The Advocate in Louisiana. I'm sure he does that well. But his latest AP ballot is just ... something else. Mickles has undefeated Baylor ranked 19th -- four spots behind the Oregon team the Bears beat 66-49, and five spots behind the Louisville team the Bears beat 66-63. In other words, Mickles has undefeated Baylor ranked behind two teams undefeated Baylor has already beaten.
