FINAL: Kansas stages second-half comeback in 64-59 victory over Texas
The Kansas men's basketball team overcame an 11-point second-half deficit, rallying to take a 64-59 victory over Texas on Saturday afternoon in Austin, Texas.
With KU up 62-59, Texas' Julien Lewis missed a three from the corner with 13 seconds left that would have tied it, and KU's Travis Releford came away with the defensive rebound before he was fouled.
The senior made two free throws with seven seconds left to put the game away for good.
Texas' biggest advantage came at the 15:22 mark of the second half, as Jonathan Holmes put in a jumper to make it 42-31.
KU retook the lead with 4:13 left on a fastbreak dunk by Ben McLemore that made it 54-53.
McLemore led KU with 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Jeff Withey added 14 points and nine rebounds, while Releford chipped in 12 points.
KU (16-1) will travel to play at Kansas State at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

EJ has been having a lot of bad days lately. He needs to sit for awhile.

Kansas... they can beat you right out of the gates or let you have your moment and then crush your dreams in the last three minutes. Your choice
Capn
This whole board is agreement on Tharpe at point and EJ at 2. That might mean Tharpe taking fewer hurried/stupid shots and EJ getting better ones!
Theend
EJ just ghad a bad day....he will be fine. And he nailed his FT's.....so something good there.

We are do for a blowout win and I can think of no better team than KSU to do it against! Rock Chalk!
Marshan3q in reply to Lajayhawk
we've had pretty wins, just not against any worthy teams. Anyone remember how we only beat Emporia State by like 10?

TX better than 0-4. With our shot selecton today, we are forutnate. Hope we play better against KSU.
Lajayhawk
Well, at least we've mastered winning ugly.... perhaps one of these games we can work on winning pretty, instead.....

Remember when I said don't panic til the last minute of the game? When will you children learn?!!
Capn in reply to Sawman3333
The problem is, we've had three of these games in two weeks and we're playing nobodies.

Call me nuts, but I'm glad we have a game like this now. It's gonna happen in the Tournament at least one game that we come out flat and get behind. This will help.

Anyone else not like the TO there? We have the ball in position. Now we have to inbounds it. One more chance for a TO...
Marshan3q in reply to Nomansland
Just rusty going into conference play... we'll get in the swing of things.

B to the P
While we sucked across the board (except maybe FTs), we made the little plays when it mattered.
Nomansland
This game shouldn't even be this close. Hard to believe this is the same team that whipped Ohio State a month ago.
Lifelong_jayhawk
How on earth are we winning this game with the poor effort we've given most of the day?
Lajayhawk in reply to Jesse Newell
You and I don't disagree very often. And we DEFINITELY don't disagree on that.

He won't be credited with an assist on that. At least, by rule, he shouldn't.
