Any news on Wamukota?

9 man rotation and he's part of it. He's here to stay.

Bush's best 2 games are the 2 biggest games we've played this year, tonight and the MVC clincher against UNI. The dude is ready when they call his number. He may not be a scoring threat, but he can hedge, set picks, rebound and much things up inside like no other on our team.

Bush is very much picking up where Lufile and Orukpenleft off. I think he will be very good for us next year.

is bush a current version of orupke ?

Not yet but he was close enough today! I'm feeling really good about next year after his UNI game and this KU game.

My rundown on him is that he has enough gaps in his game that coach doesn't have a lot of confidence in him yet but when we get that deep in the rotation he is able to do the things necessary for our other players to work with him. He is also big and that automatically alters some shots.

He can only get better and we can win big games with him already.

The euphoria of today's victory is obviously affecting the vision and memory of some on here.

Yes, he stole some minutes, yes he worked hard and yes, he did the best is able to do.
But did you really watch him or just the game?

Were all happy and giddy over today's long awaited KU beat down, but it is what is it is.

Go back and watch the game dvr and pay close attention. Then come back and talk about it.

Intelligently.

That is all.

Wamukota came into the game and the Shox went on a 13-2 run.

I haven't reviewed the game on DVR yet. What is it I should be looking for? Wamukota's lack of ability to play D or his lack of ability to score the ball? The 13-2 run tells me that both the TEAM defense and the TEAM offense were functioning pretty well.

How the TEAM does when various players are in the game is generally how I look at individual performances. What am I missing that I should be looking for in Wamukota's game that would have produced a better result for the team?

[Dave Stalwart]

Even the news people are saying Wamukota was very good.

[shoxplode]

I've only rewatched cotton's dunk, and it was bwam who had a great seal off to give tekele the open lane

[shockmonster]

Wamukota did a nice job but our guards are still carrying the load and they are Seniors next year. Morris will most likely be the player to resemble what Chadrick did last year. But he's not to that level yet and we had 3 Players giving up 5 fouls last year to be able to compete with UK last year and Randle still beat us in the end. Morris needs a player to push him. We still need another high level 5 to go with Shaq and B Wam next year imo.

No. Doesn't alter a game defensively like EO. He does the little things ok. He's good for a 3rd option.

I really enjoy seeing how our coach brings along players. What we as fans are treated to, if we look for it, are steps along the way to our players' further development. Not the finished product, but a glimpse into what they're becoming. What a privilege to see our coach develop our young men.

He seemed to notice Wamukota's contribution (see the end of this article):http://www.kansas.com/sports/college...e16091819.html

One thing I like about Wamukota and Brown is they just seem happy to play basketball. Brings back the Early days from the last two years.

I am, despite ShockRef's persuasive resistance, starting to wander into the Tom Bush camp a bit. I was actually not sweating bullets when he was in the game Sunday.

[ArtVandalay]

Carter and Shaq's fouls/general offensive disappearing acts over the last few games has made Bush about a valuable. Carter and Shaq are not scoring, so who cares if Bush isn't? He probably plays better D on big 5s and rebounds well. Sure, Shaq is much more of an offensive threat, but their ppg in this tourney seem quite similar.
