That last pick n pop is perfect. Markus needs to make that read every time he's rushed.

One half to go. Let's see hope I take the hit!!

What a half

[seakm4]

Best half of the season so far.  Last 2 seasons?

[Herman Cain]

Team looking good tonight. Lets keep it up in the second half. Keep working together as a team .

[MUeng]

We are abusing them on the pick and roll dish for a three. Feels so much better when it's not against us. Keep running it all night.

Exactly!  Every time it happens and Sam nails the trey, you can see the Kansas bench throw up their arms.  keep going to that well

[Vander Blue Man Group]

A half like that is huge for confidence.

What a half

You bet against your own team? Why? never understood that at all.

[CountryRoads]

Really happy for Matt. Wouldn't be surprised if he is the big we want out on the floor in crunch time sooner rather than later.

Do it every big game

If we lose, might as well have some consolation.

Win, screw it I'm stoked.

I'll admit usually I don't go this much. But I won a big parlay over weekend

[forgetful]

Now we have to expect, and be ready to take a serious punch early in the 2nd half.  Keep composure when they make an inevitable run.

I think Wojo has coached his arse off in the first half...let's see if he can match Self who is known for making great half time adjustments

Self is going to feed Azubuike the ball and we will not be able to stop him as our guys get into foul trouble. Just pointing out the obvious.

I think one of the differences between good gamblers and the other kind is how intelligent you are when you're playing with the house's money.

[Floorslapper]

Defense was really good in first half, and was surprised how many open looks we were able to create for Sam - some of that coming from major overplay on Markus.  Chartouney with some nice assists.

Kansas big man getting 2 fouls and benched helped some, but one of the better halves of basketball I recall seeing under Wojo.

[DarkWarrior]

SOLID DEFENSE
SUPERB 3 POINT OFFENSE

Delivered a solid blow to Kansas, Self is a great coach, wait for the counter punch and see how we respond!

Can't wait to see how we finish!

Self is going to feed Azubuike the ball and we will not be able to stop him as our guys get into foul trouble. Just pointing out the obvious.

We have 9 fouls in bigs still.  Azubuike is a 41% FT shooter. 

We also need to challenge him to get a few fouls on him too.

[AZWarrior]

I expect them to try and take away our threes. 

If so, we can respond by establishing some inside scoring of our own.

[nyg]

MU did not shoot a single free throw.  Not one.

Grimes and Azibuke each had two points and Dotson only four.

What a half

Run to New Jersey quick.

Hell yeah

[CountryRoads]

Those first 2 1/2 minutes couldn't have been any more predictable.

[nyg]

And there's Theo.....

Offense looks like crap, good timeout.  Kansas different team with Dotson and Azibuke on the floor. 

[NickelDimer]

Theo takes a 3 off the board. That one hurt

[nyg]

No points in second half. Almost five minutes. 

[forgetful]

No points in second half. Almost five minutes.

A couple good looks that just didn't fall.  Also, looks like a little nerves and tightness playing with the lead and figuring out what KU has done as adjustments.
