Conner Teahan, who scored five points in two minutes, was rewarded for his stint upon returning to the bench late in Kansas University’s 85-47 rout of Eastern Washington on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

“Con-ner Tea-han, Con-ner Tea-han,” the students behind the north goal chanted in unison, bringing smiles to Teahan, coach Bill Self and the rest of the players and staff members on the bench.

Did he hear the chants after hitting a reverse layup as well as a deep 3-pointer during mop-up time?

“Yes. I don’t know if it’s deserving,” the modest K.C. Rockhurst High graduate added with a smile.

“I went in and played as hard as I could and scored a few points.”

Teahan has scored 31 points in 25 minutes this season.

Has anybody teased him about likely leading the country in points per minute?

“Yes, I’ve gotten that a couple of times,” the 6-foot-5, 205-pounder said with a smile. “I wouldn’t know about that.”

Here are some more fun facts regarding Teahan: He’s 9-of-11 from 3-point land, which comes out to an amazing 81.8 percent mark. He’s tied for second on the team with Russell Robinson and Brandon Rush for 3s made, trailing only Mario Chalmers, who has 14.

Robinson has taken 30 3s to make nine; Rush has put up 24 treys.

Teahan’s production calculates to 49.6 points per 40 minutes played.

“Teahan is pretty much ‘wet’ right now,” Rush said, coining a word for being “hot.” “I don’t think anybody in the nation can shoot like Teahan off the bench, cold.

“He’s our spark out of all our walk-ons.”
