***Official Kansas vs. Texas for BigXII Title Thread***

[CoMoChief]

Don't really know who's gonna stop Durant. Hopefully Wright or Arthur are quick enough. Should be a good game, wish I could go to it. KU can help solidfy their hopefull #1 seed in the NCAA Tourney with a win today.

Go Hawks!!!!

[Direckshun]

Man it's going to be a hell of a game.

Texas shot the lights out against A&M, though. If they shoot that well at the House, KU is toast.

[acesn8s]

Go Jayhorns!!! Go Longhawks!!!

[Lzen]

ESPN Gameday guys just said something about Texas will win. I'm waiting to hear their analysis.

[CoMoChief]

There ya have it. KU will win. ESPN is wrong 99% of the time.

[Lzen]

There ya have it. KU will win. ESPN is wrong 99% of the time.

Lol, well I guess they did pick KU to beat A&M.

[leviw]

Shit. Slept too long.

Dammit.

Well, once again, if they lose, it's on me.

[acesn8s]

Shit. Slept too long.

Dammit.

Well, once again, if they lose, it's on me.You buying the beer?

[leviw]

You buying the beer?

Always.

[Lzen]

Always.

Well hmmmm, now I almost want them to lose so that you can buy me some beer.





Naw, not really. :p

[CoMoChief]

10min til tipoff.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Let Durant get his points; key to this game is limiting Augustin and Abrams. I don't think Augustin will be able to handle the on the ball pressure Robinson and Chalmers will give him, he has not seen it yet this year like Robinson and Chalmers can bring it.

I am excited to see Wright on Durant though, see how Durant does against a defender as long as he is, should be a fun matchup to watch.

[Sure-Oz]

*cough* does mu play today? *cough*

[leviw]

10min til tipoff.

Don't turn to CBS yet.

My remote on my living room TV is broke, so when I came into the room I turned it on and manually turned it to CBS. I went and sat down at the computer, and all it's been is cartoons.

I caught the end of the last one, and it was something like "Secret Slumber Party" or something, with three teenage girls sitting around in their PJs getting ready to play truth or dare. Yah...I didn't think that sounded all bad myself.

One girl picks truth, and one of the others says, "OK, but it has to be something GOOD!" She says, "OK....well, you won't believe this, but I've only eaten one vegatable for dinner in my whole life." And the other girls couldn't believe it. Like it was the best "Truth" answer ever given.

It's been down hill ever since.

[boogblaster]

was it a pink pickle ...

[boogblaster]

GO HAWKS

[Lzen]

Well, it looks like 2 of 3 ESPN Gameday guys picked Kansas.

Digger and Jay picked Kansas and Hubert picked Texas.

[leviw]

was it a pink pickle ...

That what I was hoping for --something slightly off color atleast.

Broccoli was the answer, though.

[acesn8s]

It's been down hill ever since.Can we turn it on yet?

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

I think I might need to check out that Dance Revolution show..........

[leviw]

Can we turn it on yet?

NOW!

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Who the f*ck is Jim Spanarkel??

[Skip Towne]

RCJH :KU:

[acesn8s]

NOW!NOW?

[leviw]

NOW?

Missed it.

[leviw]

Russ Rob back at point.

[Lzen]

Hoping that Texas is worn out from that double OT game the other night. :)

[banyon]

RCJHGKU :KU:

[banyon]

Julian is going to be huge today, especially on D. He might be te only guy we have with the quickness and length to stay on Durant.

[CoMoChief]

Let's go Wright!!!

[Lzen]

BS charge called. I don't understand how it can be a charge when the defender is still moving. But I've seen that several times this year.

[Al Czervik]

Who the f*ck is Jim Spanarkel??


Duke guy from way back....

Sorry...wrong school

[Skip Towne]

BS charge called. I don't understand how it can be a charge when the defender is still moving. But I've seen that several times this year.
Ridiculous

[CoMoChief]

Shit.

[chiefsfan987]

Well that stinks. Biggest game of the year for the hawks and its not on tv out here :(

[Lzen]

Kaun all of a sudden is making free throws? Monday at OU and already a couple today.

[acesn8s]

Missed it.It's over already? :banghead:

[CoMoChief]

Holy shit did Kaun just make 2 free throws?

[banyon]

Durant 7 of TX's 10. sick

[leviw]

KU's sloppier than redrum's mom right now.

[CoMoChief]

Wow, Durant has 7points in 1 min of play.

[Skip Towne]

Very sloppy. I hope we stay in it.

[Lzen]

WTF KU? Are they nervous? Keep losing the ball. :banghead:

[Mr. Laz]

dammit

[acesn8s]

Well that stinks. Biggest game of the year for the hawks and its not on tv out here :(We will keep you up to date. Currently there is a Flomax commercial on.

[Mr. Laz]

Kaun all of a sudden is making free throws? Monday at OU and already a couple today.
getting more arch on his free throws .... it helps.

[Al Czervik]

Very sloppy. I hope we stay in it.


Texas came to play....

[acesn8s]

At&t now

[Lzen]

Durant 7 of TX's 10. sick

U sure about that? I think Augustine has 3 and James has 2.

Edit: meant Augustine, not Abrams.

[Mr. Laz]

you knew texas was gonna play better defense today.


i expect this to be the tejas best game of the year ...... KU better be ready.

[Lzen]

Texas 10
Kansas 6

15:44 left in the half.

[chiefsfan987]

At&t now
ROFL

[acesn8s]

Brick!

[Lzen]

Ok, wtf is Wright doing shooting 3s. Texas has us playing out of our game.

[Mr. Laz]

dammit ... Rush is still shooting scared. :(

[banyon]

Nice play Wright!

[acesn8s]

12-6 Texas KU is throwing up bricks

[Lzen]

Sheesh, how can you leave Durant wide open?

[acesn8s]

15-8 Durant has 12 points

[Mr. Laz]

Ok, wtf is Wright doing shooting 3s. Texas has us playing out of our game.
trying to be like Durant

[CoMoChief]

Good lord I would bench his ass for doing that.

[banyon]

Ok, i know the plan is to not let TX's other players beat us, but we may not want to let Durant score 50.

[acesn8s]

Time out KU?

[Mr. Laz]

even our defense is getting sloppy :banghead:

[Lzen]

KU needs to get their heads out of their asses or they are gonna lose this game.

[Lzen]

18-8 Texas right now.

[acesn8s]

Can Self coach under pressure?

[leviw]

Can Self coach under pressure?

Can these players play under pressure would be a better question.

[acesn8s]

KU for a 3!!!

[Lzen]

I think they players reflect a coach's demeanor. If the coach is nervous, the players will probably sense it.

[acesn8s]

Can these players play under pressure would be a better question.I question this because of his recent history in the tourney and the big games this year.

[acesn8s]

18-13

[Al Czervik]

KU for a 3!!!

KU is all thumbs right now....

[acesn8s]

18-15 texas

[chiefsfan987]

Nice mini run.

[banyon]

YES! Hawks waking up after th early start.

[Lzen]

A couple of quick dunks for KU.

Texas 18
Kansas 15

Durant is on the bench.

[acesn8s]

Commercial

[leviw]

I think they players reflect a coach's demeanor. If the coach is nervous, the players will probably sense it.

I'm guessing Self has coached in 10X as many big games as these players have played in...I doubt he's nervous.

[acesn8s]

Hello!

[Lzen]

Texas is a completely different team without Durant. How much ya wanna bet he will be back in there after this commercial break?

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Well here we go with the shitty refs already.......... twice Augustin has gotten a ticky tack foul.

[acesn8s]

I'm guessing Self has coached in 10X as many big games as these players have played in...I doubt he's nervous.He just seems to be suffering these last few years. IMO

[Lzen]

I'm guessing Self has coached in 10X as many big games as these players have played in...I doubt he's nervous.

That is true. I wonder what his record is in these big games. Either way, the coach has to get the players calmed down. That is his job.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Texas is a completely different team without Durant. How much ya wanna bet he will be back in there after this commercial break?


I am hoping someone in the crowd pulls a Monica Seles and stabs him while he is on the bench.

[leviw]

He just seems to be suffering these last few years. IMO

We've argued this to the hilt in many a thread. I'm not about to get into it now.

Bottom line: The players play.

[Lzen]

Collins is struggling once again.

[acesn8s]

I am hoping someone in the crowd pulls a Monica Seles and stabs him while he is on the bench.That's not right

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Arthur guarding Durant tough........

[Lzen]

Collins is struggling once again.

We're gonna need him for the NCAA tourney.

[Al Czervik]

Collins is struggling once again.

Yep...He hasnt been the same since RussRob went out

[banyon]

GOD D*** IT, WRIGHT IS RIGHT IN HIS FACE!

[acesn8s]

KU is getting alot of dunks.

[Lzen]

Durant is the NCAA player of the year, hands down.

[chiefsfan987]

Kansas is gonna have to be tougher gaurding the three point shot. You can't let your opponent shoot nearly 70% from 3 land.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Durant is the NCAA player of the year, hands down.

Wow you should have John Madden's job.




:p

[CoMoChief]

Can Self coach under pressure?

Nope. Great players can make average coaches look good.

[acesn8s]

KU's jump shots are horrible today

[Mr. Laz]

the 3's by Durant are the difference right now

surely he can't keep hitting them at 100%

[acesn8s]

25-22 tex

[banyon]

Kansas is gonna have to be tougher gaurding the three point shot. You can't let your opponent shoot nearly 70% from 3 land.

I don't know how much tighter you want Wright to stay in Durant's face, or how much more perfectly he could time his jumps. Durant is just going to have to cool down.

[Lzen]

Kansas is gonna have to be tougher gaurding the three point shot. You can't let your opponent shoot nearly 70% from 3 land.

Most (maybe all) of Texas' 3 pointers were by Durant and well guarded. Not much you can do about that.


Tex 23
KU 22

[acesn8s]

another TU 3

[banyon]

GOOD LORD.

[acesn8s]

31-22 Durant another 3 for 20 points today

[leviw]

the sad thing is, wright's playing decent defense

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Seriously...... someone needs to just tackle him and break a couple fingers.

[Lzen]

And Durant just added a couple more 3s. Sheesh, the guy can't miss. Ugghh.

[CoMoChief]

Jesus Christ we need to guard the ****in perimeter. Just ****in rediculous.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

20 damn points already..........

[Mr. Laz]

Rush with another miss

Durant with another 3



Rush better put a tampon in his bleeding pussy and step the **** up.

[Al Czervik]

31-22 Durant another 3 for 20 points today

Yep......almost outscoring KU by himself...Impressive

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Jesus Christ we need to guard the ****in perimeter. Just ****in rediculous.

Are you not watching the game???? All but one of Durant's 3's have been gaurded well.

[acesn8s]

Yep......almost outscoring KU by himself...ImpressiveHe's just sick. NBA ASAP

[chiefsfan987]

Most (maybe all) of Texas' 3 pointers were by Durant and well guarded. Not much you can do about that.


Tex 23
KU 22

Well, I'm not able to watch the game, I'm just following the gameday. Looking at the numbers you just notice how many 3's Texas is getting and the only conclusion is that you have got to get tougher from 3 land on defense. KU won't win if they keep allowing that percentage from there. Not only will they not win with that percentage, they'll get blown out of the building if they keep that up.

[Mr. Laz]

another 3 for texas

7 of 9 from behind the arch

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Well you have to think there is no way they can keep shooting 77% from 3.

[chiefqueen]

What's the record for scoring by an individual opponent @ Allen Fieldhouse. Durant looks like he'll have it in a couple of hours.

[chiefsfan987]

77% from 3 land...... good lord that is unbelieveable.

[acesn8s]

I've got to go so keep me informed of anything good that happens today.
I hope Bob Davis is feeling it.

[Mr. Laz]

we aren't focused at all on the defensive side of the ball.

we have people rolling to help out ........ leaving guys wide open.

[Lzen]

Jesus Christ we need to guard the ****in perimeter. Just ****in rediculous.

Durant's 3s have been mostly very well guarded. The guy is just unconcious today. A better coach would probably have used that triangle and 2 that A&M was successful with on Wednesday. :(

[BWillie]

KU cannot win if Texas continues to shoot lights out. I've not seen a player in college basketball like Kevin Durant..ever. Texas is also making EVERYTHING. Unreal

[Mr. Laz]

A better coach would ......(


:deevee:

[CoMoChief]

It's clear to me that KU just doesnt give a shit about today's game. They're playing like they already won the big12 title and have nothing to play for or dont wanna win it outright. Jeez. Self needs to ****in coach.

[CoMoChief]

:deevee:

Roy would be up by 10points by now. :)

[chiefsfan987]

good lord...... maybe they should just foul them before they get to half court so they can't even shoot a 3.

[Mr. Laz]

Rush had to throw up a 3 with clock running out .... made it.

maybe that will get Rush back on track

shot didn't give him time to be scared.

[banyon]

We're not going to win this game if it is just a 3 point shooting contest.

[Lzen]

It's clear to me that KU just doesnt give a shit about today's game. They're playing like they already won the big12 title and have nothing to play for or dont wanna win it outright. Jeez. Self needs to ****in coach.

Dude, I know you're pissed. And I know you're a hard core KU fan like most of us here. But man, you make some stupid statements.

[chiefsfan987]

It's clear to me that KU just doesnt give a shit about today's game. They're playing like they already won the big12 title and have nothing to play for or dont wanna win it outright. Jeez. Self needs to ****in coach.

Or maybe they're just playing like the 3rd best team in the Big XII which is what they might be.

[Mr. Laz]

We're not going to win this game if it is just a 3 point shooting contest.
Texas has to slow up with the 3 eventually .... don't they


another 3

[banyon]

It's clear to me that KU just doesnt give a shit about today's game. They're playing like they already won the big12 title and have nothing to play for or dont wanna win it outright. Jeez. Self needs to ****in coach.
What?

They would beat an NBA All Star Team shooting threes like this.

[banyon]

Texas has to slow up with the 3 eventually .... don't they


another 3

and another.

[CoMoChief]

Durant already has 20pts. Sorry Carmelo, this guy is the best freshman I have ever seen. Good lord.

[Mr. Laz]

another ****in 3


dammit

[Skip Towne]

I've never seen a team so hot. That's 11 straight FG's. 80% from3 point land.

[CoMoChief]

Dude, I know you're pissed. And I know you're a hard core KU fan like most of us here. But man, you make some stupid statements.

Well you cant object to the fact that they arent playing hard. Thats partially the coaches fault. That and Durant cant miss.

The Roy comment was just a lil fun n games. :p

[BWillie]

another ****in 3


dammit

This is amazing. You can't really blame KU. Texas is just ON FIRE. The way Texas is playing so far, and shooting they would be beating the Lakers. No joke. This is ridiculously sick..lets hope they put something over the rims at half time

[Lzen]

Well, we've seen KU teams of the past come back from large deficits at Allen. I seem to remember KU beating Arizona in the mid 90s after being 15 points down. And wasn't there another one just 2 or 3 years ago? Of course, they're gonna have to figure out how to defend Texas' 3s. I've never seen a team so hot from 3.

[Mr. Laz]

any team that shoots 80% with the 3 is gonna win.


we just gotta hope that they go dry and "die by the 3" in the 2nd half.

[chiefqueen]

......and I paid $$$$$$$$$$$$ to watch this onslaught from MD?!?

:banghead::cuss::banghead::cuss::banghead:

[Al Czervik]

This is amazing. You can't really blame KU. Texas is just ON FIRE. The way Texas is playing so far, and shooting they would be beating the Lakers. No joke. This is ridiculously sick..lets hope they put something over the rims at half time

I agree. I dont think the players have given up, or the coach....
It just is the longhorns day

[Reerun_KC]

Holy shit? how do you defend 10/12 from the 3?

KU is all over them and they are chucking up guarded 3's

[Mr. Laz]

normally texas shoots 3 at 40% ......


another reason to hate the state of texas

[Reerun_KC]

Well, we've seen KU teams of the past come back from large deficits at Allen. I seem to remember KU beating Arizona in the mid 90s after being 15 points down. And wasn't there another one just 2 or 3 years ago? Of course, they're gonna have to figure out how to defend Texas' 3s. I've never seen a team so hot from 3.

Rhode Island in 99 tourney?

[Mr. Laz]

and our lack of identity in the half court game is starting to show.

[Reerun_KC]

Only down 14..... Not bad considering TX is shooting the lights out..

Hit 11 straight possessions?

[Skip Towne]

They will cool off. They don't play this way all the time or they'd be undefeated.

[Reerun_KC]

Another ****ing 3... you are ****ing kidding me?

[Reerun_KC]

11 of 13?

11 of 13. This is freaking stupid.......

[Mr. Laz]

i just wanna hit Durant in the face with a bat.


he's got that Keyshawn Johnson smirk 4321

[Reerun_KC]

Hell KU only gives up 59 a game....

[CoMoChief]

KU has to make it a 10point game before half.

Hopefully TEX cools off in 2nd half. This first half has just been rediculous.

[Reerun_KC]

i just wanna hit Durant in the face with a bat.


he's got that Keyshawn Johnson smirk 4321
He should have. 11 of 14 behind the 3 and you can smirk all you want.

[CoMoChief]

i just wanna hit Durant in the face with a bat.


he's got that Keyshawn Johnson smirk 4321

That he does.

What an asshole.

[Mr. Laz]

well .... texas missed their last 3 shots

[Mr. Laz]

He should have. 11 of 14 behind the 3 and you can smirk all you want.
doesn't mean i can't hate him for it

[Reerun_KC]

No way any team can keep up that pace...

that is just ridiculous and we are lucky to be down only 12....

[Reerun_KC]

doesn't mean i can't hate him for it

I feel the same way...

[leviw]

Considering KU is withing 12 at half after UT shot the way they shot...you gotta be OK with where they're at.

[MITCH]

down only 12 after one of the best shooting performances I have ever seen. We still have great chance.

[Mr. Laz]

No way any team can keep up that pace...

that is just ridiculous and we are lucky to be down only 12....
it's true ....


if Texas cools off in the 2nd half we could come back pretty quick because they will most likely continue throwing up 3's because of their success with it in the first half.

[Silock]

Guys, calm down. It's not like KU is playing bad. They're not. Texas is just on fire, especially from 3 (duh).

If they keep it up, there's no way KU will win. But how can you stay that hot all game? Miracle? KU needs to play their game, set the tempo and use a faster tempo to force mistakes by Texas, and possibly, bad shots.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

WOW........ to be down 12 is a good position. I have NEVER seen a team shoot like that in a half. You have to believe there is no way they can keep it up. Durant probably can because he is a damn stupid freak that should be in a circus somewhere.

Come on Hawks.......

[Mr. Laz]

Guys, calm down.

everyone is pretty calm .... but thanks, Dad.

[Reerun_KC]

Guys, calm down. It's not like KU is playing bad. They're not. Texas is just on fire, especially from 3 (duh).

If they keep it up, there's no way KU will win. But how can you stay that hot all game? Miracle? KU needs to play their game, set the tempo and use a faster tempo to force mistakes by Texas, and possibly, bad shots.

I agree, I think we are just stunned at TU hitting heavly guarded NBA 3's right and left...

I am speechless! Never have I witnessed something like this... Can they shoot 79% from the 3 in the second half? IF they do, KU has no chance, Acutally no team would have a chance....

[ROYC75]

Gosh damn, Is Texas on fire or what? In my 40 years of watching college basketball, I can't recall a 3 point bombardment like this. Durant is amazing, How the hell did KSU beat them, it had to of been an Texas off night.

My problem with Self is making adjustments.... Who is going to stop Durant and Augustine ?

[Silock]

everyone is pretty calm .... but thanks, Dad.

Lies. Now, sit down before I have to go get the belt.

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

You know the sick thing about this game is that the first half was a damn good one for KU. Maybe one of their best; 50% from the field; 54% from 3; 16 boards (which should be higher except Texas went 12 for 12) and 10 assists on 15 made shots. The only real negative is the 7 turnovers.

[Reerun_KC]

Who is going to stop Durant and Augustine ?


Doesnt matter, When they throw up anything and it goes it... Our defense has been solid.. But they are hitting 3's that are perfectly guarded...

[ROYC75]

I agree, I think we are just stunned at TU hitting heavly guarded NBA 3's right and left...

I am speechless! Never have I witnessed something like this... Can they shoot 79% from the 3 in the second half? IF they do, KU has no chance, Acutally no team would have a chance....

There wasn't / isn't a team in the nation that could stay with Texas that 1st half.

[Reerun_KC]

KU played a great half, It is hard to over come 11-14 from 3...

Thing is can TU keep it up?

[Silock]

Doesnt matter, When they throw up anything and it goes it... Our defense has been solid.. But they are hitting 3's that are perfectly guarded...

Exactly. If they were any more closely guarded, it would be a foul.

[Reerun_KC]

There wasn't / isn't a team in the nation that could stay with Texas that 1st half.
KU stayed poised and calm during the barrage of 3's....

They are still in this game... I dont think TU is going to drop another 11 3 pointers on us in the second half....

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

KU played a great half, It is hard to over come 11-14 from 3...

Thing is can TU keep it up?


I don't think they can. Hell if Texas misses just 3 more 3's its a 3 point game right now. All we need for them to do is shot 3's at their average in the 2nd half at 40%. They do that and KU keeps up their own play KU wins by 6-7 points.

[Mr. Laz]

Exactly. If they were any more closely guarded, it would be a foul.
we've left augustine wide open for 3 ... but not Durant.

we have durant on the brain and it's leaving other guys wide open.


that said ..... shooting the 3 like they are is crazy ... not a whole lot we can do.

[Silock]

I don't think they can. Hell if Texas misses just 3 more 3's its a 3 point game right now. All we need for them to do is shot 3's at their average in the 2nd half at 40%. They do that and KU keeps up their own play KU wins by 6-7 points.

If, yes. I'm not sure how realistic that hope is at this point, though. Texas definitely brought their A+++++++++++++++ game.

[Reerun_KC]

we've left augustine wide open for 3 ... but not Durant.

we have durant on the brain and it's leaving other guys wide open.


that said ..... shooting the 3 like they are is crazy ... not a whole lot we can do.

Regardless. hitting 11 in one half is a miracle for any team...

[Reerun_KC]

If, yes. I'm not sure how realistic that hope is at this point, though. Texas definitely brought their A+++++++++++++++ game.
There isnt a scale for what TU did in the first half..

could this be the tale of 2 halfs this game?

[banyon]

Looks like Self gave them a good pep talk at half.

Let's go Hawks! :KU:

[banyon]

Nice play Robinson! It's a ballgame again!

[Mr. Laz]

suck that Tejas!!! nlm

[Skip Towne]

9-2 run to open the half. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!

[BWillie]

Russ Rob to the rescue bitches!!!

[Reerun_KC]

Just have to keep the pressure up....

TU cant stay that hot all game... Impossible...

[Reerun_KC]

worse thing that can happen is a 3 way tie for the title...

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Exactly how we needed the half to start............. KEEP IT UP HAWKS!!

[Mr. Laz]

need to keep an eye on that pick and roll .... it really helps open up our offense.


Kaun 3-3 from the line :clap:

[MITCH]

This game is great. Both teams could make final four. Along with Texas A/M

[Mr. Laz]

HA!!!!!!!!!! missed the first 3

[MITCH]

this game rocks

[Lzen]

Russell Robinson, bitches!

[Reerun_KC]

Damn that was a clean block!

[Mr. Laz]

dam ..... block by Kaun shouldn't of been a foul

[Skip Towne]

Great comeback!!!!!!

[Lzen]

This game is great. Both teams could make final four. Along with Texas A/M

If Texas could play every game like they did that first half, nobody would beat them on their way to a title.

[banyon]

YEAH!!!

[leviw]

Good coaching ;)

[Lzen]

Texas 58
Kansas 57

[Lzen]

5 second call on Texas. Self has gone to the full court press this half. Good coaching.

[Mr. Laz]

1 point game ...........


5 second turnover :clap:

[Megbert]

what a boring game.

[BWillie]

what a boring game.

HAHA the definition of sarcasm.


YOU KNEW IT, YOU KNEW IT. KU WAS GONNA BE THERE. LETS KEEP IT UP GDAMN IT

[Mr. Laz]

well that 12 point disappear pretty quick once Texas stopped hitting 3's at 80%.


now they will probably start to tighten up on those long shots a bit.



go hawks

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

5 second call on Texas. Self has gone to the full court press this half. Good coaching.





:rolleyes: good coaching.......... don't you know Bill Self can't coach.











ROFL

[MITCH]

If Texas could play every game like they did that first half, nobody would beat them on their way to a title.
I agree. Even KU's play would be a top performance.

[Reerun_KC]

we need 4 more 3's to keep pace with them...

[Lzen]

I like the coaching move of putting Rush on Durant. Deny him the ball as much as possible.

That isnt no lie....

[chiefsfan987]

Nice start to the second half! Keep it up hawks!

[Mr. Laz]

wright and kaun are playing well

collins is MIA .... Rush is up and down

[Lzen]

:rolleyes: good coaching.......... don't you know Bill Self can't coach.











ROFL

Yeah, I know a lot of people think that. I have said all along that he is a good coach. Not a great coach, but a good coach. No way you have a team at 26-4 if you aren't a good coach.

[Mr. Laz]

dam ... nice move by Durant

[Mr. Laz]

wtf was that?

[MITCH]

easy two layup if no foul called

[Mr. Laz]

keep driving that ball ... we need to get them into foul trouble.

[Mr. Laz]

nice move by arthur

[Lzen]

keep driving that ball ... we need to get them into foul trouble.

Yes, yes, yes.

[banyon]

Rush is doing a phenomenal job on Durant. Still Durant can take advantage in the post though. But maybe that's a better problem than letting him shoot.

[Mr. Laz]

dammit .... what is wrong with Rush?

he's a disaster out there ... for the last 3/4 games.

[Lzen]

Chalmers with another 3!!

[banyon]

I think maybe just the rim on that side of the court has a wider diameter. :)

KU now up from 54 in the first half to 58% 3 pt shooting this half, TX down to 66% from 78.

[MITCH]

18 point turn around since half

[Lzen]

Tex 65
KU 69

[Reerun_KC]

How many fouls does Durrant have?

3?

[Mr. Laz]

69-65 KU

[Lzen]

How many fouls does Durrant have?

3?

Not enough, apparently. :(

[banyon]

How many fouls does Durrant have?

3?

Yahoo Stattracker says 2, but Stattracker sometimes doesn't always...track...stats.

[Simply Red]

Whatta game. I was hoping for a big lead by now so that I can go watch The Departed.

[chiefsfan987]

KU starting to catch up with Texas on 3's.

TU 12-18
KU 10-17

[Silock]

Great effort so far for KU!

Go Hawks!

[Reerun_KC]

WOOT WOOT 2 more 3's

[banyon]

Durant down!!!

[Lzen]

Uh oh. Durant injured.

[Skip Towne]

Great comeback!!!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

UH oh, Durrant is hurt?

[Mr. Laz]

Durant is down ...... die bitch, die!!!

[banyon]

i think he turned his ankle.

[Reerun_KC]

WOW what a game, I am shaking and can barely type.....

[Mecca]

Durant is down ...... die bitch, die!!!

Wow that's harsh for a guy that might be the #1 pick.....
