Kansas Game

[Chop]

11am today at the Allen Fieldhouse.

Hepa and Hamm are out. We could miss Hamm’s tough inside play and intense D, including shot blocking, off the bench.

KU is a 4.5 point favorite today at home.

 

[Chop]

Blocked shot! Jayhawks rejected!

A sloppy turnover. We’re tough on the boards early on.

And just like that:

UT 10
KU 2

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Jayhawks ice cold from the field, but just down 1 (13-12).

Did they just say Liddell is transferring?? First I've heard of this.

 

[Chop]

Both teams are getting hit with traveling calls. Strange.

 

[Chop]

Rejection then a dunk!!!!

Wow! Ramey with a steal and easy lay up. Tough, pressing D. We’ve forced 6 KU turnovers already. KU hasn’t faced a D like this yet this year.

 

[Chop]

And another traveling call. I can’t remember seeing so much traveling since Jordan played for the Bulls.

Sims is our man thus far. Brown hasn’t “come alive” just yet. We’re keeping Sims in there with his hot hand.

Sims and Kai Jones are grabbing the boards and knocking it down inside. That, some nice threes, and our tight D gives us the lead.

We’re playing short-handed and without some of our usual depth.

And ANOTHER doggone traveling!!!!!!!!

 

[Chop]

Halftime

UT 37
#3 KU 29

You read correctly. We carry an 8 point lead into halftime at the Allen Fieldhouse!
How do you like them apples?

 

[Chop]

Tough D. Grabbing the boards. More threes go down
And we’re up—50-38

 

[Chop]

I’m loving it. The announcers are ripping on Bill Self for KU’s “Inability to run a coherent offense...”.

 

[UTExinPDX]

Need to take care of the ball better.

 

[UTExinPDX]

Shooting from three has been lights out this half.

Too many fouls. Kansas shooting FTs the rest of the game.

 

[LHABSOB]

Sims low presence early in the game has opened the perimeter for our shooters as Kansas D is crashing down on double teams

 

[caryhorn]

Can they finish?

 

[Chop]

Yep. That is exactly what’s happened. We dominate with Sims (or Brown in some games) down low—opening up the outside shooting when the opponent crashes down.

 

[Chop]

Can they finish?

Doubter!
Skeptic!

 

[Chest Rockwell]

63-47 with 8:51 . . . keep the foot on the gas, Shaka.

 

[caryhorn]

Coleman is lights out in every facet of the game!

 

[Chop]

Up by 16 now.

Ha! And now our D prevents KU from inbounding.

up by 18!!!!!!

up by 21!!!!!!

 

[ViperHorn]

Up by 16 now.

Keep on! Keep on!

 

[LHABSOB]

Holy chit! We're up 21 with 8 mins to go at Fogg!!! In the meantime horn fans are more worried if Sark is sober.

 

[caryhorn]

Who are these guys?? Have aliens taken over the Horns??

 

[mchammer]

Up by 16 now.

Ha! And now our D prevents KU from inbounding.

up by 18!!!!!!

up by 21!!!!!!

99.7% win percentage according to espn. I don’t want to jinx them. I remember one game after Thanksgiving where Texas had a 99.9% chance or something against Duke with 4 minutes to play and lost it in OT.

 

[LHABSOB]

Shaka should have grown his hair out earlier. Shaka=Samson

 

[Chop]

Holy chit! We're up 21 with 8 mins to go at Fogg!!! In the meantime horn fans are more worried if Sark is sober.

What was that old saying about the only two sports at Texas are football and Spring football...

No more my friends!

I have battered Shaka syndrome - BSS.

 

[mchammer]

At 99.9%. Historic win IF it holds.

 

[UTExinPDX]

No need for Jones to try to take it end to end.

 

[caryhorn]

Ok, they are playing great. But why are they not taking a bit more time off the clock? And why foul and put them in the double bonus with 4 minutes left?

 

[Chop]

Sims. Double double.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Does Sims ever not look sedated?
