Kansas defeats Texas Tech, 60-46
- 3 p.m., Jan. 12, 2013
- United Spirit Arena, Lubbock, TX
FINAL: KU finishes strong, knocks out Texas Tech, 60-46
Kevin Young posted a team-high 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting, leading the Kansas men's basketball team to a 60-46 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday afternoon at United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
With Tech slowing down the tempo, KU led just 27-25 at halftime before pulling away.
The Jayhawks were just 5-for-18 from the floor in the first half (28 percent), which was the fewest made baskets in a half for KU since it made six shots in the first half against Oklahoma State on Feb. 13, 2006.
KU followed that with a 60.9-percent shooting mark in the second half (14-for-23).
Jeff Withey and Travis Releford added 12 points apiece, while Ben McLemore chipped in 10.
The Jayhawks scored a season-low 60 points, marking their lowest output since scoring 59 in the NCAA championship game against Kentucky last season.
KU (14-1) will play host to Baylor at 8 p.m. Monday.

Cal was told he would not be allowed to win this year. Its Stumpy Miller's team's turn this season. They were who got valved all the excess talent. But Stumpy is kind of underachieving.
Jaybate in reply to Zig
I thought Walker was good, too, but then Self was just dinking around this game.
Mistroth
We better figure out our offence before monday. 5min and 10min fg drought will not cut it against baylor.

if kansas has taught me anything, it's never over if you're within ten under a minute.

Keep it together on. Mon. fellows. I'll be enjoying the hospitality of the other great KU Venue. KU Med...probably won't be awake yet for the game. Expect nothing but a real breakout
Zig
All in all, I was impressed w TT. I look for that coach to make an impact there or elsewhere in the near future
MDL/kuae99 in reply to Lawkan
Pundits have said he did well last year bc he had senior leadership. This year, none.
Jaybate
Did anyone see AW3 actually stick his rump out on that screen?
I haven't seen that since YMCA league games.
Lawkan
I don't like Calipari but he did a great job with that team last year. Getting one and dones to play team ball and defense can't be easy.

Dumb that he's a sixth man. Walker should play his best player more, not less.

I can't watch the game is self pretty upset? I'd be if i were him ... he knows if they don't figure something out then come march we'll be making an early exit
B to the P in reply to Jesse Newell
was curious.... thought KY was catching up a bit more than that!
Crimsonphoenix in reply to D_bradley27
I would hope he doesn't want to touch his players, might have a Mangino situation on our hands...
Jaybate in reply to D_bradley27
Amazing what you're eyes will see when you open them.
IT was the most half arsed huddle break ever.
MDL/kuae99 in reply to Crimsonphoenix
Right there with you, but Coach K has some messed up stuff going on in the background. Not illegal but Saban-like with the team and Urban Meyer-like with family.
Lajayhawk
The one thing I will say about Kentucky, is this year's team shows Calipari's coaching ability. When his one and done talent can't beat people simply on their athletic ability alone.......... Well, you get the picture.
D_bradley27 in reply to Jaybate
ESPN3 told you Self didn't want to touch his players and they didn't want to touch him..... um, ok.
Jayhawk470 in reply to Jayhawkinatl
That would make them 0-for-2 against Texas teams (they lost to Baylor).
Zig
Man I hate to be critical of looks, but that big dude from TT has a beak. This coming from an Italian with a nig schnoz himself

You kidding me? Would never root for Mizzery over even the Dookies, I would be happy if the tiggers lost every game they ever played.
Jaybate
Sure, this is how a team not being jerked by a coach plays when they are about to be 14-1 against a bottom tier team. :-)
Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff in reply to B to the P
Coming into the game, Withey had 23 dunks, McLemore had 22 and Young had 10.
Jaybate
Self didn't even want to touch them. They didn't even want to touch him in the huddle break.

Didn't realize Crockett had no points on 0-for-6 shooting. Great defense on him. He's averaging 15 per game.
Mariomiracle15 in reply to Jesse Newell
Im not arguing about his draft status... In terms of talent and potential for this team the next few years, I see no reason why he couldn't become so much better. Its obvious he has that nba potential and ability, but one more year would make him a complete allstar and our team favs for the ship next year
Lajayhawk in reply to Crimsonphoenix
I'm not getting involved in this argument, but.... that was really freakin' funny.
Jaybate
This is like playing a game without a coach.
Just a guy standing on the lines needling people.
Crimsonphoenix
Guys, this is just because Bill Self told them to start playing basketball, before he said, "Guys, don't play basketball."
