Nick Springer reacts to Kansas basketball's exhibition at Allen Fieldhouse against the Louisville Cardinals. Nick breaks down Flory Bidunga's return to Lawrence, key takeaways from KU's performance…
Just an exhibition, but Kansas does lose at Allen Fieldhouse 89-83 in the return of Floyd Bedunga to Lawrence.
And for KU, things started off pretty good, and then the start of the second half was a disaster.
KU rallied back a little bit, cut it to two at one point late in the game, had it at a three-point game late, 100-minute left, ultimately lose by six.
Phillip in the chat says, I know it's an exhibition, but they treated that like a big-time game.
Kansas, I don't – yeah, I mean, it was – The atmosphere was great in Allen Fieldhouse.
Whether it's a top-five game, a random non-con, or an exhibition, Allen Fieldhouse always delivers.
It seemed like it was pretty loud in there, despite the fact this was just an exhibition.
And the crowd, I think, certainly helped Kansas get back in the game in the second half.
Seemed like Bill Self was just kind of throwing out different lineups, I think, in the first half and in the majority of the second half as well, and kind of mixing and matching.
I would assume that means he's certainly going to play on next, this upcoming Sunday against Duke in the final exhibition for KU.
Well, Look, it's just an exhibition, so I don't want to overreact too aggressively one way or the other, but yes, I understand Phillip's sentiment.
In the second half, Paul Embia, despite the fact that I liked what I saw from Paul, and listen, I'm the president of the Paul Embia fan club.
