Prior to the last 3-4 minutes, I was going to say that the second half was much much better than the first in regards to the TOs. 5-6 a half is pretty good against a solid full court press style team.

Great to beat a ranked opponent. Much better 2nd half execution. Turnovers were unacceptable. If we cut those in half we'd have won in a blowout. Rock Chalk! Fun as always!

Lots. I'd say they have two-thirds of the folks here.

No. We've noticed that he has an extra hitch this year as well.
Jwliddell in reply to Jesse Newell
I dont know if it's just this year, but Brady's 3 ball looks ugly, even when he makes it. has his stroke always been that awkward?

Robinson: good play, bad play, good play, great play!, bad play, good play, wth play, awesome play,

KU almost too unselfish in transition, but Morningstar ends up with an open three that swishes through. Timeout Memphis before the media timeout.

georgia just bought my working girl. But it looks like I might be eating spam!

take away the batch of i'm-nervous-in-MSG turnovers in the first half, and we'd win by 25.
B to the P
WOW are we moving the ball great or what? i love this, even more than the Sherron+Cole game
B to the P in reply to Jesse Newell
true... he'd just be adding to his list of missed short shots this game :P glad he followed his shot.
overall, he's had a great game.

Robinson with a quick drive to the rim, putting in a left-handed layup.

My kids have one of those small round trampolines - not tried it, though. Good idea. However, I know I can shoot 58% free throws (at least in my driveway).
Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff in reply to B to the P
The move was very under control, though. I think Self could live with the first shot.
Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff
Robinson misses, but follows his own shot and puts in the stickback.

Markieff called for an illegal screen. That's his fourth foul. He was playing well, too.
Jwliddell in reply to Melrank
In college I could "dunk" on the goals at Robinson. It was more of a layup/hang on the rim

Taylor leaves a lob short. Self slaps his hands together in frustration.

did I just see that correctly? KU ranked 258th for free throw shooting % this year? Terrible....
Ku_fansince75
I will say this----Memphis is a young team---I would hate to play them in a year or two!
Jwliddell in reply to Melrank
Adjusted down to 6 probably! LOL ... my nephew made his off my shoulders!

KU beating Memphis at its own game by having guards drive to draw fouls.

Time to say goodbye Memphis----slam the door. I have a message for MemphisMachine-------it's time!

What happened to the FT shooting team that was blowing out Longwood and shooting 85%? My 10 year old daughter can shoot em that good - jeesh!
