I'm ready for a TO, and regroup.
They've only picked up one point this half so far. We're doing alright.

Drew said we were 3 possessions away in 3 games from being #1 in the country.


Not sure about #1 in the country, but I pointed out that we were three plays away from being undefeated in the conference, and the reply was we were in a free fall. Those three losses sucked but they were by the thinnest of margins.

Undefeated in this conference could be enough for a national #1.

OK seriously, what exactly did we do to get that foul called?
historian

Was that first half the best defense we have played all season? It certainly seems that way. And we are going to need that every game. Next week is the trip to Lawrence. We also have Houston & Tech coming to Waco soon.

Youthful mistake by Josh. O. It was a nice play otherwise.

Again, we make dumb decisions. Josh throws the ball off the ISU defender, then touches it before it hits the ground out of bounds.

That should be Baylor ball

Foul check -- Missi has 3 or am I off by one?

Nothing less than a 20 point lead is safe.

Could he get out of the way. Seemed questionable

I believe you but I didn't see that

We got to get to 70. That may be enough to win with as well as the defense is doing. Got to keep scoring
Mitch Henessey

He reached down and picked up the ball. All he had to do was not touch it and that's our ball.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Does it matter: if he touches it is their ball.

Has Kansas ever had 4 fouls to 0 in 3 minutes to start a half at home?
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Definitely. Don't let up for one minute. Keep the foot on the throat. That's what championship caliber teams do. And we still want to win a championship.

Less than 5 minutes into the 2nd and we already have 6 fouls.

Bridges hits the 3!!!!!

But give Josh O credit. His fake allowed Bridges to be open.

If you told me my PG would have 0 assists and 4 TOs, but my team had a 13 point lead, I'd ask what you were drinking.

Josh O. is asserting himself now.

Rayj is so smooth going to the left side of the basket for a right hander

Just saying couldn't tell if he could get out the way.

Sometimes you do that and itnrockets back at you. Like banking in a 40 footer at the buzzer. Stuff happens
historian

Are all of those fouls legitimate?

And there they are in the bonus after JTT gets pushed into the ball Handler.
