OK, Hunter Dickinson. I thought this was very funny.

Granted, in the big picture it’s meaningless and immature. But in that contest in that gym Dickinson set his tone for the rest of the road game against TCU. There were three Toads who jumped in trying to out-man him but Dickinson wouldn’t relent. Yeah, Dickinson ‘selfishly’ picked up an T for it, but he also added 7 of 10 from the field, 9 boards and 4 assists. And he set the tone for at least the rest of that game.

It’s meaningless in the big picture, but kudos to Dickinson for having fire and showing onions. As for the drama queen segment of RR, it was nowhere as ‘incendiary’ as what Magloire did with punk Wojo a few years back, or when Charles Hurt whacked Barkley. I’m among those who’d probably faint if Amari Williams played with that kind of vinegar in a tough game.

Technical on both but no ejections.
Score was 48-47
Kansas outscored TCU 26 to 14

I guess Bully Ball pays off.

I agree with everyone about Dickinson and the type of player he is; but it is somewhat of that attitude going after the ball we could use.
One play that stands out is from the Alabama game; loose ball after a rebound and Bama player going after the ball while Brea stands and bends over trying to get it.
If Brea had some of what Dickerson has in going after a loose ball, he would have fought hard for that ball and not just bent over reaching for it.
Bama scored after that.
Each possession matters.
I think back to an old Pistons player, Bill Lambeir (spelling ?). No way you would take the ball from him and he was considered to be like Dickinson.
 
Huh? I thought this was cringey to watch with how childish both players were being. Like after the first 30 seconds, just throw a punch and get on with it.

Funny you say that because he was begging to come to Duke out of HS apparently but Duke chose Mark Williams over him. Mark had a so-so freshman year but an incredible sophomore year. He is now starting C for the Charlotte Hornets. Seems like Duke dodged a bullet.
That's interesting, I didn't know the Hornets were even still a team.
 
I’m no fan of Dickinson but good for him in this case. It was the TCU players’ behavior that was creepy.

Sorry, but his actions coukd just as well backfired and TCU and their crowd could have taken over the game. He and KU got lucky with the win but he was acting like a little spoiled kid on the playground. Can't accept your backing him on this one and comparing to other situations. He was just being a little brat, best way I can describe his childish behavior.
 
If I was tied up on a reb, I never let the other guy get the ball, especially if I had 2 arms on the ball. Agree HD is a complete tool but this is nothing here. 2 guys that were not going to let go. Took both. HD can suck eggs as far as I am concerned.
