Rush did ok but where is the friggin' intensity?

What you say abut Rush has been his problem this entire season. He had a great game against Kentucky, but it was all from the three point line. He just doesn't seem to have the ability to play with intensity.

Yes SIU is very good... but there was a bit more than luck going on for KU.

Great game SIU. I am truly happy we got to play them to earn our way in this tourney.

Hootie · 03-22-2007, 07:26 PM

I think SIU was the better team and I'm not even kidding. I am glad the Jayhawks won but SIU was better coached and if they made some of those threes in the first half it would've been a different game.

The Jayhawks should feel pretty fortunate after this one.

The free throw shooting by Chalmers was unacceptable.

He's just mello... like Carmello... some guys just make it look easy.

Whew.

Like I said earlier today, you need a little luck sometimes.

Reminds me of Frank Williams (U of I)...dude was awesome, but disappeared for HUGE stretches of the game, mainly in the first half...but at least he was a clutch player when it mattered.

The reason KU probably won't win it all is because they don't have a single player on their team that will step up and take over the game like that Tatum fella for SIU.

Chalmers play tonight was a joke. Wow.

**Donger** · 03-22-2007, 07:28 PM

I know even less about basketball than football, but why did Self call a TO when the KU player missed his first thingy? That seemed counter-productive.

lolololol

Rush is nowhere near as talented as Carmello.

Rush will make a good 8 MPG reserve player in the NBA when he makes the jump. He'll never be a star, or anything more than a reserve. Maybe a 6th man, but that's his ceiling.

I agree. It seems the team that wins this tournament every year usually gets lucky at least once in the run toward the title. I feel like we got lucky in this one. Had we just made our free throws we wouldn't have had to hold our breath.

I didn't say he was as good as Carmello. I said he makes it look easy. He's smooth.

My friend said the same thing...why would he ice his own player...but I think with 2.2 seconds left he just wanted to make sure none of the idiots fouled anyone when Wright missed the free throw.

I think Self realized Wright had about a 4% chance of making the shot, so he might as well tell his players how to defend the rebound...

And how about Rush almost airballing that one free throw?

MAN MAN MAN...

Talking about FT's won't help. Practicing them will.
