Of course, he is. Dude has 2 great games and he just keeps getting better. Still has his freshman lapses but he can get after it. I can't wait to watch him for the next 2 seasons.

 

[CycloneErik]

He's pretty good.

 

[mj4cy]

Figured it'd be him or Trey Young. Both are fantastic. Excited to see them battle it out.

Decent.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Well deserved, and hopefully the first of many.

First of many Big XII honors for the freshman. Congrats to Lindell!

Don't be surprised if Lard gets something like this at some point.

Wiggington - The Next Great hokeye Killer.

 

[IsUaClone2]

I wonder if this will get him a little hyped...

Wiggington - The Next Great hokeye Killer.

Try the next great KU Killer.
You don’t get a moniker for killing Iowa.

Lafester begs to disagree.

Wiggington - The Next Great hokeye Killer.

Come on people we learned this lesson with Paul Rhodes.

LaFester begs to disagree.

Who? You’re talking about over 30 years ago. What’s next, THT the Drake Killer next year?

Nevertheless, although he’s remembered for a great game that happened to be against Iowa, no one refers to LaFester as the great Iowa Killer. If he’d scored 23 against Iowa in a 6 point win that game wouldn’t even be remembered. It wasn’t the opponent but the production in a OT game.

That settles it, he’s going to the NBA after this season for sure now.

I didn't mean it that literally. I thought the sentiment was beating Iowa doesn't get you anything. 30-odd years later, we still have threads like this:

That game happened the year of my birth (I think), and I know literally nothing else about Lafester other than he rose up to put down Iowa in a big game.

If we're being totally honest, Trae Young should probably win this award every week.

Averaged 30 points, 8 assists and 6.5 rebounds this week while beating the #8 and #16 teams in the country.

Happy for Lindell though.

Yeah, but idk if they ever give both to a single player. And Trae won POTW.
