Kansas defeats Kansas State, 67-49
- 7 p.m., Jan. 4, 2012
- Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KS
FINAL: Jayhawks use late second-half surge to pull away from Kansas State, 67-49
Travis Releford posted his first career double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Kansas men's basketball team to a 67-49 victory over No. 23 Kansas State on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
KU held KSU to 32-percent shooting (18 of 57) while also limiting two of the Wildcats' greatest strengths: offensive rebounds and free throws.
KSU finished with just 12 offensive boards — its second-lowest total this season — and a 16 free throws — a season low.
Thomas Robinson added his own double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Tyshawn Taylor notched 13 points to go with three assists and eight turnovers.
KU (11-3) will play at Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Reid Gettys announces like you use punctuation! Sorry, wayward. Had to!

If Releford can put up this kind of performance or effort in every game, KU will be the team to beat in March and April.

releford looked like the guy i saw before his injury last year. been waiting for him to show up again.
Stupidmichael
Some of Releford's stats came in garbage time, but I'd agree that he deserves the #1 ranking.

looked like Martin said something to Self and Self with some sympathy said I know.....probably apologizing for how they played....
B to the P
if TT could finish more consistently, he'd be unstoppable. he has a sick first move.. like the Iverson hesitation crossover. that's my favorite.
and I saw a stutter-dribble tonight too
Kuwells
Releford doing it defensively and still having energy to score and rebound. Awesome. And if my memory is right, this is 43-2 (or 3)...

Up by 15+, back down to three, now back to up to 15+. Thanks KU. Thanks for shortening my life span
Aviebs51
lets start the chant a bit earllyyyyyy.....Rooooooocccccckkkkkkkk CCCCCChhhhhhaaaaaaaalllllllllllkkkkkkkkkk......
Stupidmichael
I wish you could just lock Taylor in at 4 turnovers every game. I'd take that in a second.
Kuwells in reply to Dynamitehawk
Absolutely NOT! Laughing at the aggies has been a hobby of mine since about 1979. I don't see any need to improve an aggie.
Jaycon11
if releford could play both sides of the ball most nights like he's doing tonight, i'd be less worried about playing missouri.

We should be able to do a better job defensively on them than our football team did, they gave up 59.
Balkurog in reply to Cshjhawk
Definitely. Keep TT calmer and under more control and let him pick his spots to a greater extent.
Dynamitehawk
If KSU is going to be our rival, should we fund a KU Med project to fund a process to insert a probe to give knowledge/not wanting to b@ng your sister gene, into KSU freshman?
Balkurog in reply to Wissoxfan83
Agree, except by his senior year Sherron seemed to loose a half-step in speed. TT uses speed; Sherron used strength.

Balkurog in reply to Jhawk06
Perhaps not. EJ can run the point and distribute to the wing. TT doesn't need to lead the team to be effective.
Aviebs51 in reply to Marchphog88
its a great nba jump stop...he woulda been elgible for another step afterwards....
Zdkc
Being tough is great if you're casting for the next John Wayne movie.. who really gives a rat's ass in college bball
Kuwells in reply to Jessejayhawk
But it might involve a night in the local jail. And think about the applications, John Madden! Dick Vitale!
Zdkc
My response to the commentators. Unfortunately, basketball is less about "toughness" and more about decisions.
Balkurog
Just sayin. No other KU guard in recent memory gets to the rim and draws the foul like TT did on that last play.
Oklahawk58
Anyone know why we look at assist to turnover ratio? Seems steal to turnover would make more sense. Tit for tat.

Hey, Taylor didn't turn it over and then got to the line! YAHOO! Can I get a Rock Chalk, fellow posters!?!
Wbalmung
We're not the best free throw shooters, but at least nobody is like Henriquez. I don't know how he's still playing if he shoots like that.

Releford playing tough D on Samuels with Robinson out. Great job in the post.
Kuwells in reply to Mistroth
As long as that doen't involve me dressing up like Little Bo Peep and tidying up around your home. That's cool. I'll put that movie on the list!
Dubsix
hack-a-jordan strategy? Jordan was good from the FT line. Maybe he should have said hack-a-shaq
Wissoxfan83
The nice thing about Jesse's live coverage is who cares what the announcers say? I don't even listen to them. I get to read about 20-30 very biased game commentators all at once!
Kesmithstl1
Reid Gettys is going to ask Henriquez-Roberts to become Henriquez Roberts Gettys after the game!
Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff
Henriquez is staring down this rim like it's his mortal enemy during free throws.
Kuwells
Is there someone out there, perhaps an Electical Engineer, willing to work on a chip that can sort of just delete one persons voice from a broadcast. It would have to be pretty simple. Right? We need that technology.
