The game against Texas Tech (last Saturday) taught us a lesson - it was a very humbling game - and I think we bounced back well.” True to the form of a selfless, team-first type of player, Lightfoot talked most about what Monday's win meant for his team and very little about what it meant for him. Mitch is one of those guys that you can’t help but love him. “What Mitch did was probably the highlight of his career so far,” KU coach Bill Self said after the victory. Toward the end of the video, Lightfoot returned to the lineup line and did what he has done so well during his first three years at Kansas - proved to be the perfect teammate.Įnergy in the huddle, encouragement for freshman David McCormack, who started his fifth consecutive game at center, and an intensity and readiness that can only come from someone who realizes the program is far bigger than he is, Lightfoot delivered it all on Monday night.Īnd then he delivered on the floor, too.
He said after Monday's victory that he's got the whole thing memorized verbatim. Like all true KU fans, he even paused to applaud after the clip of Mario Chalmers’ miracle 3-pointer that tied Memphis in the 2008 national title game. Lightfoot had all of their lines memorized.
