Am I alone in thinking his eligibility was all used up?

Dude better have at least a masters degree by now! 🤣

K.O. has become the face of Texas Tech's program!  He is their only returning starter but like most teams they found some good transfers and freshman to add to the mix.  Interesting matchup with Creighton in the Maui Inviational.  K.O. will get to face his old rival from the Summit League days, Baylor Schierman.

Schierman might consider KO to be his old rival, but KO probably couldn’t care less about this matchup.  He’s got nothing more to prove against him.  Been there, done that…

Saw this on a Texas Tech web site:

TTU is buying a lot of home games this season.  Too bad they didn't think of an ORU-TTU matchup for KO's farewell season.

Interesting development in the Kevin Obanor saga:  Texas Tech's projected starting center broke his foot and could miss weeks if not months of the season, meaning Kevin may be asked to man the post for significant stretches of his floor time.

The big question is, will KO be willing to sacrifice his outside shooting numbers (and theoretically his best chance to build his pro stock) for the good of his team?

“Super Senior” is the term being used for previously-redshirted or medical hardship athletes playing a sixth season due to the COVID exemption from 2020-21.

We had a holiday gathering Friday night with our Life Group from our church.  Two of the ladies went to Tech and are HUGE sports fans.  We talked a little about Kevin.  I told them that we had a KO thread on our board and many of us were speculating what Kevin was getting his doctorate in.  They chuckled and said they were thrilled to have him back for another year.
