Now that we know they're going to hang out and jack up 3's all night, Bill will adjust. KU by 10.

I have been looking forward to this since the last meeting. They have zero game inside 10ft.... IF we can play perimeter defense, we should win this one... |
nice
|
I like this thread better...
|
Kinda funny the ISU troll insinuated that he wasn't starting a KU thread but he put the KU icon on it. Screw that! I'm not posting in that thread. Let it drop to the 2nd page.

Current line favors KU by 2. They're -130 on the money line.

Can ‘magical’ McLemore trump Hilton Magic? By Gary Bedore http://worldonline.media.clients.ell...6f48523261b548 Ames, Iowa — No Kansas University basketball player, coach or fan ever tires of watching the replay of Ben McLemore’s straight-on, last-second 22-foot shot that banked off the backboard that forced overtime against upset-minded Iowa State on Jan. 9 in Allen Fieldhouse. “Magical,” KU senior Kevin Young said of the three that sparked KU to an 97-89 overtime victory over the Cyclones in the Big 12 opener for both teams. McLemore, who scored a career-high 33 points, today seeks an encore in ISU’s Hilton Coliseum, where the Cyclones — 15-0 this season — have been known to perform “Hilton Magic” time and again. Tipoff for the rematch between the Jayhawks (23-4, 11-3) and Cyclones (19-8, 9-5) is 8 p.m., with a live broadcast on ESPN. Does McLemore expect the Hilton denizens to try to rattle him? “I’m sure they will,” McLemore said, smiling. “I’ll listen to my teammates like I always do, and we’ll try to play the best we can.” ISU’s fans chanted “We Want Kansas” during the final two minutes of an 86-66 home victory over Texas Tech on Saturday. “I remember it,” ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said to the Associated Press of McLemore’s shot. “I don’t think I’ll ever flush the memory.” Hoiberg’s Cyclones “are good and they score easier than anyone in our league,” KU coach Bill Self said. ISU hit 14 threes in that OT meeting in Allen. “We have to do a great job individually, defensively, and our ball-screening has to be great. We were fortunate to get a win the first time. I think we have a great opportunity going there to beat a dangerous team. We are going to have to play our best game away from home.” KU is 7-2 in Hilton Coliseum in the Self era. “We haven’t really played that well on the road since the Ohio State game,” Self said. “We just hung in there and figured out a way to win like we did on Wednesday night against Oklahoma State. We are going to have to go play a good game in Ames because they have guys that can score. We are going to have to make shots and be efficient. This needs to be a special game that we play on Monday night.” ISU is led by double-digit scorers Will Clyburn (14.9 ppg), Tyrus McGee (13.1 ppg), Georges Niang (11.4) and Melvin Ejim (11.1). “They have crazy fans that are very close to the court. It’s a great environment, kind of like the fieldhouse but not as good,” KU’s Jeff Withey said. “It’s going to be crazy up there. “Historically, we haven’t done all that well in Ames, but this is for a conference championship, and if we win our next couple of road games we should be fine. I think we’re gonna be all right; we’re going to come ready to play.” So will the Cyclones. “It’s one of the biggest games of the year to keep us in the hunt for the NCAA Tournament,” ISU’s Chris Babb said. “We played them well at their place,” Clyburn added. “We can do better here.” http://www2.kusports.com/news/2013/f...ens_basketball |
Every guard that plays tonight MUST attack attack attack the rim.
Penetrate and dish off to the wing if when help defense comes or dump it off to Withey down low and let him take the 1-2ft shot. |
Euro ballin to da Final 4!!

This is about a 50/50 game for KU. And considerably more random than usual considering how ISU's offense is pretty much just jacking 3's every possession. Better rebound well tonight and not give up any extra possessions.

Mr. Tomahawk is either 3-0, or 4-0 starting game threads. Hilton is a tough place to win. Going to be a tough game. |

THis is the kind of game that always worries me to death before hand, but that KU seems to cruise through. I'm not so sure about that with this team, but one can certainly hope.
|
Ku by 10
|
Had to take Ku with spread of -1.5. Go jayhawks!
|
Look out for that Hilton Magic.

Please God -- no overtime for this BIG east game.
|
Gonna be a tough one tonight. ROCK CHALK!
|
Got to have this one!
Rock Chalk |
I expect to hear a ton of BOO's.
|
Good news: only 1 timeout left for both teams in this big east foul fest
Bad news: 1 minute plus in big east terms is about 30 minutes without timeouts. |
Only down 7... 2, foul, 3, foul, 3 and win the game in 15 seconds!

Gotta foul under a second. Totally necessary!
|
That was a bullshit foul
|
And let the three's rain down...
|
did you steel that little troll POS ref get all showy on that block call against Withey
:cuss: |

|
Bill with the quick T.
Shit, that is nuts. |
Self gets the T
|
Dude gave Elijah a forearm shiver and draws the foul. It should have been a no call.
|
He totally wigged out.
|
Good for Self. Those were some bullshit calls to start the game, particularly the moving screen one (which you could practically call every possession on both teams).
|
Self is such a violent and angry person.
|
Offensive goaltending?
|
Bill has been drinking again...
|
Hilton "Magic" is kinda quiet.
|
Watch those lazy passes fellas.
|
we MUST go down low over and over again and foul ISU out of their gameplan.
|
EJ with the early three.
Good. Annnnd matched. |
EJ hits his first 3 ... good sign
|
LMAO
OK. That's how it's gonna be. |
Jesus Christ, this is gay already. I hate teams that do this shit. Pussy ball.
|
Have to guard the three a LOT better tonight.
|
They're not very quiet now
|
Moar BOOZ please.
