    Took me a minute to get to this, but wanted to do it right, using my nearly 40 years — 15 growing up in Lawrence & 20+ covering #KUfball — to give Saturday the proper perspective. Supremely unique day for each one of us yet exactly the same for all... r1s1sports.com/soaking-up-a-s…

    Ochai on winning MOP: "I don't really care because we won the national championship. If I would've had to pick an MOP in this tournament, it would be David. #KUbball

    For those who have asked, #KUbball coach Bill Self said he spoke with Svi Mykhailiuk this morning and Svi told him his parents (in Ukraine) were safe and he was hoping to get them out of there soon...

    KU student worker handed WVU coach Bob Huggins his water bottle as he left the media room: "Thank you. That's the nicest thing somebody with that shirt on has done for me in a long damn time." #KUbball

    Official attendance tonight: 34,902. That's the largest opening night crowd in 8 years. Pretty solid statement about the direction of the program. #KUfball

    #KUbball PG Dajuan Harris with the game hall. TCU took it from Lawrence and posted it on social media & KU was determined to get it back tonight. Asked if getting the win or the ball was better, Harris said, “Both.”
