Whatever. There is a difference between playing physical, of which I have no problem, and intentionally trying to intimidate.

Oh, I think Memphis can win, but it looks like it might take some serious guts in the second half, as tired as they appear to be now. I think they need a run to start the half, build a substantial lead and play the game out on momentum.

All of the bitching and moaning you did about the refs is hilarious, Coach. They SPOTTED you guys that lead with just two plays (over the back and "shooting" "foul" three point play), even disregarding the cheap foul calls against Dozier and Dorsey.

It's time for Rose, Taggart, and Dozier show up. I fully expect them to.

Up by 5 at the half for those of you who can't get the game. heh... Like its on ESPNU.

I don't think Rose has ever heard of help defense.

hell I'm watching it via free stream right here

Great first half. If not for sloppy ball handling KU is up 12.

Need more of the same w/ better ball handling this half. :D

RCJGKU :KU:

I think he was doing a much better job of passing out of it the last few minutes. What makes Kansas' defense so great is that they anticipate that pass out, too. That last steal by Chalmers is a great example. However, they did fail a couple of times to give Memphis a couple of quick 3s. Uggghhhh. All bitching aside, it has been a very good game despite he shaky start by KU.

And they spotted you 4 points from the obvious missed traveling calls. Big deal.

Even that, this officating crew sucks, one way or another.

You know, if you can tell your big guys to "fundamentally" block out somebody, the score would be 32-32 all.

Of course, your freshman stud, for whatever reason, thought eating starburst and gummie bears in the morning seemed a great idea.

Brilliant. :rolleyes: Now he's puking and shitting liquid.

KU has got to have the confidence factor coming out in the second half.

I think we have this one.

Good 1st half Jayhawks ....... KU taking it to the paint , making Memphis defend inside.

Shutting down Rose is hugh so far, wonder how much of it is the flu ? CDR is a beast, you can't defend his 1 step dribble, faid away shot, have to find a way to collaspe on him when has the ball.

Fatigue is setting up in the Memphis big boys as well..........

Going to be a bruising 2nd half, just like a heavyweight bout.

Go KU :KU:

From todays KANSAN:

Darnell Jackson doesn’t expect that attitude to change tonight even though they’re going to face their toughest challenge of the season. To keep that mind-set, the team has been huddling up before the last few games and spreading the same message.
“We just say ‘let your nuts hang,’” Jackson said. “Just let them hang. Just have fun because this is it for most of the guys, and we’re just having fun with it.”
Never will the Jayhawks need to relax more than tonight. They’ve been waiting for this game since the beginning of the season, since they arrived at Kansas. They can’t get too scared or too tight or allow Memphis to run past them.
They’ll remember this game forever and want to make it a good memory.
“This is probably the game I’m going to show my kids for the rest of my life,” Robinson said.

And that's why Memphis is going to lose.

I'm happy with the halftime score. We just cut out the turnovers and cruise.

It doesn't matter if the officiating sucks as long as they suck for both sides.
