We have a chance to go on a nice little run here...

Next up on the schedule, after the big win over the blueblood boys from Lexington:

* Home vs. K-State
* At TCU
* Home vs. WVU (Payback game!)

Then it's on the road for the big showdown versus the Sooners.

The next three games are not only very winnable, they are must-have wins where Self will have the opportunity (if he takes advantage of it) to work in Bragg and Diallo a lot more. On neutral courts in March and April against quality tournament competition, we will have no margin for error, and we'll need to have advanced well beyond where we were yesterday.

Beyond weaving in Bragg and Diallo considerably more, I hope Greene garners a healthy amount of minutes to continue gaining confidence and gelling with the rotations. I also hope Coach will pull out all the stops in tweaking our defensive schemes because the playbook on how to beat KU is crystal clear now (particularly when the foe has a great penetrating guard or guards). Now is the time to iterate, evolve, tweak, round out, improve, and advance. We have the tools on this team, I'm convinced, to be right there with the UNCs, OUs, Marylands, Iowas, and Michigan States...but we can't rest on our laurels or fall back to comfort zones.

Here's to hoping we see a nice little run over the next 3 games, some healthy evolution in our rotation, and a team that really begins to gel, find its upside identity, and gain confidence as we roll into Norman.

Rock Chalk!!!

No, it is not. He is moving much better and visibly showing more energy on D than he did before the fallout with Self.

Hopefully he will continue to improve on D *and* his handle, which is a big soft spot for him on O.

He could be a very valuable contributor down the road if he continues to improve -- /s/ Captain Obvious
