The Jayhawks cruised past
Pittsburg State 96-71 tonight in the annual drubbing of one of the
state's Div. II teams. It wasn't a great game. The
Jayhawks let Pitt. St. hang around until the middle of the second
half, when they seemed to wake up from their post-Michigan St.,
mid-finals doldrums to finally convincingly put away the
Gorillas. Nick Collison had his best game of the year with 20
points, including his first collegiate three-pointer, and 10
rebounds. Chenowith also scored 20 points and worked hard
against the Gorilla's front line.
This is not a game that will teach us much about the
Jayhawks. There was no way they weren't going to win this
game. They knew that. The Gorillas knew that and all the
fans knew it. Consequently, I'm not going to try to analyze it
because there isn't much new to say. Instead I will end here and
head off to the Christmas party down the street, which will make my
dear wife happy. Your indulgence is appreciated.
Instead of my usual game summary, I would encourage you to read the
guest
commentary by Beth Impson, which I've posted this
evening.
