Ok, we have only a few more minutes before this second half starts and Hunter Dickinson keeps losing his footing because he’s having a bad game and he wants an excuse. (Hunter Dickinson is absolutely getting a double-double tonight and is not having a bad game, but he *is* looking pretty soft, and people will remember that way longer than they remember his numbers.)
We’re in the midst of a massive set of scandals involving Michigan’s athletic department, technological crimes, and spying. How is nobody connecting Connor Stalions to the basketball-playing podcaster who just happened to go from Michigan to the program many call the best in the country? And no, I don’t mean that I think Dickinson is in Lawrence to steal secrets from KU. I think Dickinson is in Lawrence to cover for Juwan Howard. Everyone still thinks Juwan Howard is nuts because he struck a man in the handshake line. You know what would make them think he was less nuts? If Bill Self did it too. Hunter Dickinson is in Lawrence to instigate a Bill Self fight. You have to think this is somewhere in Stalions’s manifesto.
