Hunter Dickinson continues his dominance, 31 points 11 rebounds.
Kansas gets a solid 83-56 win
I’ve been disappointed in Nicholas Timberlake so far this season. I was excited when he transferred to KU from Towson, as their all-time scorer. Maybe he should go back to NSYNC. He must be a better singer than a three-point shooter from what I’ve seen so far. I kid. It’s still early, so I really hope he gets it figured out before the conference schedule starts.
Furphy should take the majority of Timberlake’s minutes until Nicky figures it out. At this point, Johnny has a better all-around game than Timberlake.
Good to see that KJ Adams made it to the islands in time for the game after losing his mother after a two year battle with cancer. Must be tough for Adams. I’m glad his dad made the trip.
Once again Hunter Dickinson leading the way. He is so tough inside. Give credit to Chaminade for hanging in. Looking at Hunter playing against their tallest player and it’s not even fair.
KU wins the second half 44-29
With 17:26 left Adams passes to Dickinson coming down the lane for a slam dunk. That’s got to be a scary sight on defense. I wonder how many charges defenders will dare try against Hunter.
Great to see so many assists so far this season, very unselfish. At one point in the second half, KU had 15 assists on 20 field goals. KU has 20 plus assists per game in the first four games of the season.
With 9 minutes left, McCullars takes two straight threes and Bill Walton says the Jayhawks haven’t taken a three pointer in the second half, huh? Bill lay off the edibles until after the game is over.
Great entry passes in the second half to make Dickinson’s job inside easy. Bill Walton said that Hunter’s vertical jump at the NBA combine was 17 inches. Watching him so far this season, I believe it.
Takeaways
Wow, McCullars is the first Jayhawk to have a triple-double in back-to-back games. That is surprising considering the amazing history of Kansas basketball.
