KU vs. Davidson
Final, KU wins 59-57
DETROIT, Mich. -Let the week of hype begin.
Thanks to a 59-57 Kansas University victory over Davidson Sunday in Detroit which was sweated out until the closing moments, the matchup everyone has been waiting for is set.
Bill Self and Kansas will take on Roy Williams and North Carolina next Saturday in San Antonio, as Sunday's victory propelled the Jayhawks to their first Final Four appearance since 2003. It also sets a Final Four field consisting of four No. 1 seeds for the first time since the field expanded to 64 teams 19 years ago.
Davidson sophomore Stephen Curry got his points, but on a rough shooting night overall, he still finished with 25 points. Jason Richards, who scored seven points for Davidson, had a shot at the game-winning three at the buzzer, but missed.
Mario Chalmers and Sasha Kaun led KU with 13 points apiece. Kaun's 13 off the bench were key, as he was the Jayhawks' most consistent low post threat all night. Brandon Rush added 12 and Darrell Arthur seven.

:59.8, second half, KU leads 59-53
DETROIT, Mich. -Sasha Kaun dropped in two out of the timeout after a long range Davidson miss. Bryant Barr answered again for the Wildcats, scoring two in close off the glass. Darrell Arthur did the same thing on the other end, keeping KU ahead, 56-53.
Mario Chalmers missed a one-hander in close after the final TV timeout of regulation, but a missed three by Max Paulhus Gosselin for Davidson eventually sent Sasha Kaun to the free throw line following Andrew Lovedale's fifth and final foul of the game on the other end.
Kaun made one of two, putting KU up by four with just over two minutes to play.
Stephen Curry missed a three in transition off a Jason Richards steal against Sherron Collins, and Brandon Rush was fouled immediately after. Rush hit both bonus charities, putting the Jayhawks ahead by six with 1:15 to play.
6:11, second half, KU leads 52-51
DETROIT, Mich. -Bryant Barr hit a three off an inbounds pass for Davidson after the timeout, but after Stephen Curry blew a chance to extend the lead, Darnell Jackson slammed home two in transition. Barr then took another look in the corner and cashed a three to pull Davidson back to within one at 45-44.
Andrew Lovedale then put Davidson ahead with a turnaround jumper on the baseline which got a bit of help from the iron. The bucket had a foul call on Jackson to go along with it.
Lovedale missed the charity out of a timeout, but KU turned it back over under heavy defensive pressure. Bryant Barr then nailed his third three in a short time span from up top, giving Davidson a four-point lead with nine minutes to play. Sasha Kaun slipped it back down to two with a follow-up to a Mario Chalmers missed floater. Stephen Curry answered right back, giving himself 22 points on a pull-up jumper at the free throw line.
Mario Chalmers stole an errant pass out of a Bill Self timeout and scooted for an easy two to pull KU back within a bucket at 51-49, and Stephen Curry then missed an open three on the wing, giving KU a chance to tie or take the lead inside of seven minutes to play.
Sherron Collins' first field goal of the game gave the lead back to KU with 6:11 to play, hitting a straight-on three.
11:59, second half, KU leads 43-38
DETROIT, Mich. -Andrew Lovedale put in two going under the rack off an offensive rebound after a Stephen Curry three miss, putting Davidson up 37-35.
Brandon Rush put home his first three-pointer of the game in response, and Mario Chalmers had a chance to add two points in transition quickly after that following a steal, but it fell off the rim and was no good.
Sherron Collins extended the lead after a Lovedale miss to three points at 40-37, hitting a pair of free throws for his first points of the game.
Brandon Rush then put home a huge bucket driving off the glass while drawing a foul, putting the Jayhawks up by five. His free throw gave him 10 points and gave KU its biggest lead yet at 43-37.
Davidson's Jasoon Richards responded by getting to the free throw line, hitting one of two to pull the Wildcats back to within five with 11:59 to go.
15:51, second half, game tied 35-35
DETROIT, Mich. -Stephen Curry hit a two for Davidson after KU failed to score on its first possession out of the half, tying the game, 30-30.
Russell Robinson then missed a three from the wing on the other end. Curry then drowned a three with a hand in his face to put Davidson up three. Sasha Kaun dropped in two off a spin to pull the Jayhawks to within one, 33-32.
Jason Richards had a chance at an open three on the other end and missed, though after a Brandon Rush three miss, Thomas Sander scored two inside while drawing a foul, putting Davidson up three. He missed the free throw, and Sasha Kaun worked it back down to a one-point deficit again off an alley-oop slam. He missed the free throw to go with it, but KU turned it over off the offensive rebound. Max Paulhus Gosselin returned the favor, carrying the ball in transition and giving KU a chance to take back the lead.
Darnell Jackson tied it up, 35-35, hitting one of two free throws, making him 1-of-4 from the line on the afternoon. Sasha Kaun was called for a foul going after a defensive board, taking the game into a full timeout with him having three fouls after that whistle.
Halftime, game tied 28-28
DETROIT, Mich. -Darrell Arthur was called for a charge after losing the ball on his way to the bucket out of the Davidson breather, but Stephen Curry missed a three on the other end, giving KU a chance for possibly the last shot of the half. Darnell Jackson chipped in a tough two inside, and Davidson couldn't respond quick enough, with KU taking a 30-28 lead into the half.
Mario Chalmers led the Jayhawks with 11 points, while Stephen Curry, who has scored 30-plus points in all four career NCAA Tournament appearances heading into today, leads all scorers with 15. Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur have two fouls apiece for the Jayhawks.
1:17, first half, game tied 28-28
DETROIT, Mich. -Darrell Arthur fed Darnell Jackson for a tough two points in transition after the full break, and when Davidson brought the ball back up down two, KU applied a box-and-one zone defense.
The Wildcats went scoreless on their first possession, and Darrell Arthur was fouled going up for two on the other end, getting himself to the line for the first time. Arthur cashed one of two, making it a three-point game.
Stephen Curry tried for a three off a quick screen on the other end, but was fouled and got to the line for a trio of charities. He cashed all three, tying it again, 26-26.
3:58, first half, game tied 23-23
DETROIT, Mich. -Stephen Curry dropped in a soft floater after the timeout to put Davidson back up by three. The two teams then traded misses before Mario Chlamers smacked another three to give himself nine points and tie the game, 19-19.
Mario Chalmers scored again on his next opportunity, following a Jason Richards jumper. Curry answered that with another floater. KU then attacked the size advantage again for two inside, this time from Arthur.
Davidson then used a pair of solid post traps to force KU into timeouts under durress. After the second one, KU turned the ball over thanks to a shot clock violation.
Jason Richards aired a three just before a full timeout on the floor, with the game tied 23-23.
15:49, first half, game tied 2-2
DETROIT, Mich. - Brandon Rush controlled the game's opening tip for KU, but missed a three off a kick-out pass from Mario Chalmers, sending the ball with Davidson. The Wildcats couldn't score on their opening possession, but trapped and forced a loose ball tie-up to get the ball back on the other end.
Andrew Lovedale scored the game's first points off a lightning-quick feed from the perimeter from Jason Richards, dropping it in off the iron.
Sasha Kaun evened things by tipping in a Mario Chalmers up-and-under miss. He then grabbed a defensive board off a Stephen Curry awkward miss.
The two teams then traded misses, first with Darrell Arthur getting a shot swatted from behind by Lovedale, then Curry missing a three up top off a screen, keeping things knotted at 2-2.
Sasha Kaun then swatted a Lovedale look inside after Brandon Rush missed another three, giving KU another shot at grabbing the lead. Mario Chalmers kicked to Arthur, but a shot off the glass missed. Lovedale then missed again, this time from about 10 feet away.
The game went to a full break at 15:49, still tied 2-2.
Pregame
DETROIT, Mich. - Some say the Midwest Region opened up in the NCAA Tournament for the top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks. The biggest reason it 'opened up', though? No. 10 Davidson, who is the final team standing in KU's way in its quest to return to the Final Four for the first time since 2003.
A win today over the Tournament's favorite underdog would earn the first Final Four berth for KU coach Bill Self, who today coaches in his fifth Elite Eight game.
Davidson comes into today's game as hot as anyone, having already taken care of No. 7 Gonzaga, No. 2 Georgetown and, most recently, No. 3 Wisconsin. It's no secret who carries the bulk of Davidson's hopes on his shoulders. It's sophomore guard Stephen Curry, who wound up at the Southern Conference school after being passed up by several major programs along the East Coast. Curry has already scored 103 points in three games in this NCAA Tournament, including 33 in Friday's win over Wisconsin.
He wasn't alone, though, as senior point guard Jason Richards was as efficient as could be in running the offense, finishing with 13 assists to zero turnovers.
KU took care of No. 12 Villanova Friday with relative ease, following behind a game-high 16 points from Brandon Rush and 15 points coupled with suffocating defense from Russell Robinon. The Jayhawks won 72-57.
Today's game will tip at approximately 4:05 p.m. (CDT).

This game is maybe the "test" everyone said we needed. I agree with everyone that we seem to lack killer instinct. The first 10 minutes, we played good on D and had a chance to go up 8 to 10 points. I can't believe we are getting worked again on the boards! Come on BR, get it going man.

Cfurry running wild and KU totally flummoxed by Davidson D.
This is why Coach Self gets the big bucks. He needs to find a solution to the overwhelming Davidson double team down low.
Of course, if KU could hit a free throw and cut out the dumb fouls. They are giving up to many offensive rebonds and second chances!
It is obvious that Curry will get as many as he wants. KU has no one that can keep up with him.

My vote - put each player, scurbs included in and just deck a couple of these guys and give the zebra's some real offensive fouls to call. I dont care if the boys even put up a shot, that way maybe Davidson will begin to think twice about stepping in front of us... I'm sure Conner, Case and company will be more then happy to help!

I'm not sure I can watch March basketball anymore. When did they change the rules on charges? When I was a boy, both feet had to be set and position had to be established. Same for body fouls. This is a different sport. This is a free-throw contest. What have you zebras done to my favorite game?!?!?!?!?!

FlaHawk (anonymous) says...
KU needs to get more offensive boards. They are doing fine on the defensive end.
What is scary is taht Davidson shot 35% in fist half and still has the game in their control.
KU foul shooting is typical NCAA level fro them. They only got 4 FTs in first half. They need to get to the line more often.
KU schema to get it low is fine, but they are NOT getting anything on kick-outs or second changes offf the glass.
Davidson defense should not be able to stop KU, but it has in the first half. Even with KU shotting a decent percentage over 45%.
If Davidson shoots over 40% in 2nd half, I am afaid that KU is toasted again!

One of the worst officiated games ever. I could not believe how often out guys were mugged without a whistle, yet Jackson is called for a touch file (if he even touched him). And how bout that out-of-bounds call where it was clear the Davidson player knocked the ball out-of-bounds. Despite the odds against them, the good prevail.

Officiating completely sucks during the tournament...why do they even bother having them out there. Players could better self-officiate than these clowns...and I'm talking about all the games.
The biggest indicator to me about our readiness to play today came in the first half and our inability to inbounds the ball. The only person who came ready to play today was Sasha...otherwise everyone else was out to lunch.
I'll give some credit to Davidson...but our guys couldn't seem to remember how to even run an inbounds play, let alone the rest of the offense.
We've all seen this throughout the season, but thankfully it's usually happened against far less talented teams and we've still ended up on top. Maybe we've got our bad game out of the way and can make the final sprint to the end playing like we're capable of playing

lance - you are correct. My post should have said offensive crap fest. He was stellar locking down Curry. Aside from his 5 quick points to start half and his late three, he didn't even get a decent look at a shot in the second half.
We need Robinson to at least be something of a threat to keep defenses honest. When he doesn't attack at all, then defenses can back away and focus on the other guys.

IF we were hitting the shots, we could have blown them out early!!!! curry is good and i predicted the 20-30 point range but was sure glad to see him NOT get the shot at the end!!!!! we're moving on and that's the most important part. next week's game will be totally totally different and more what we like and i HOPE we can hit and put roy's boys down!!!!!!! i'm totally exhausted and HATE these games like this but i'm thankful for the outcome and still lovemyhawks!!!!!!!!

our defense was great, i dont care about shooting percentages.
ironically there is a story on espn, bob knight and tony la russa talk about what they would rather have, pitching and defense, or offense, and la russa said pitching, he says it easier to win games 3-2 than outslugging everyone, and bob knight mentioned it easier to win 62-58 than it is 91-90 every night.
we have defense, our offense at times isnt quite what we would hope it would be, but if you can hold teams to 57 points a game you dont need much.
anyway, im happy for bill self, and win or lose versus UNC this has been a great year. Sasha Kaun willing the team into the final four, all the adversity these guys have faced, and DJ's improvement, a senior night for the ages.
what a game it will be, UNC vs. KU, to go to the title game. i think the jayhawks have an awesome chance to beat UNC too.

Spaceba does translate to 'thank you' in Russian.
I think the way UNC plays 'D' will provide some serious opportunities for KU to not only hang with the Roi and his baby-blue Tar-holes but perhaps even create an environment where the good guys will pull away late in the second half.
There is nothing good that come from a loss to that 'other' team... nothing.
This will either be one of the most jubilant moments in KU's tourney history or one of the most painful and gut-wrenching. No in-betweens on this one. There is just too much baggage and history between the two programs... especially in the past 5 years.
I'm surprised its taken 5 years though, to be honest with you.

I live in Ireland (originally from Leavenwoth..not the prison smart asses) and have to wake up in the middle of the night to watch games. I haven't missed one all season actually! In case you all are wondering it's because of Slingbox. It's been a great season so far and I'm excited as hell for the UNC game! I know BS and the media are making it out ot be no big deal but I have a feeling that players will have some sense of retribution to pay. The whole point being that why would anybody leave KU to coach elsewhere? Going from a dominant program is tit for tat. I know Roy went to UNC to go home. This is understandable, howver, KU is simply not the kind of place used to being considered a second choice.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk! I will be watching next weeks UNC game at 147 am my time! I haven't missed a game all year. My bosses are Irish and thus do not understand college basketball. Fortunately, showing up late to work , smelling like booze and singing fight songs is pretty accepted in Ireland so I'm in pretty good shape!
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!!

I'm sure I'll take heat for this, but I think this game was so good for us. A nail biter the entire way and coming down to a last second shot gives our guys confidence they can win the close ones on the big stage. Davidson was easiy one of the best 8 teams in country despite the 10 seed.
I also think the name on a jersey can get a team motivated. Davidson, despite the Curry hype, doesn't exactly conjur up images of greatness; UNC does.
I think we match up very well vs. UNC and this game will prepare our guys for the game of their (and our) lifetime.
See you in San Antonio Roy.

i didn't get to see any post game at all...... hated that cbs stole that away from us!! did they really soak coach?? i'm just so very very thankful the day is over and that we managed to survive somehow. next week will be totally different and we will get to play the game we LIKE to play and more pressure should be on unc than us. we escaped today and still have LOTS of hope for a 20 year anniversary win!! my son came home from the hospital 20 years ago on the nite we won; today he got a final four present ON his 20th bday!!!!! too close for comfort but huge in the end!!
rock chalk jayhawk all the way!!!!

A few obvious things about the game.
Curry is a stud.
The refs were horrible and made bad calls for both teams,but a majority went against the Hawks and clearly shouldnt have.
Davidson is good,and for those that say we should have beaten them by more didnt see them play Duke,or UNC earlier in the year.How many they win by?They also beat 2 top 10 teams before even playing Kansas,in G-town,and Wisconsin.We played tight,but some pressure is off and we are in the Final 4 and will be ready for Roys boys.Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!go hawks!!!!!!!

rock chalk baby!! i agree that the pressure is now off the Hawks and hopefully we will come out loose and bring our best at the Final 4. I see a classic game very similar to KU vs Texas as of late.

Two things.
The all-regional team was Sasha, Brandon, Mario, Curry, and Richards.
Davidson only lost to UNC by 4 - in North Carolina. Not sure if it was in the Dean Dome, but given how we all know that UNC plays in the state (either at home or Charlotte), that's still pretty impressive. This is a good basketball team, incredibly well coached, focused on the fundamentals, with an awesome player, and they managed to mess up the game enough to throw us off. Add in the obvious nerves trying to get this for Coach Self, and it makes the win look a bit better in context.

i also think it could be VERY similar to the last ku-texas game and THAT one had a GREAT outcome, right??

NH_Jhawk- I would tend to agree with you. This game was good for us. We just found out we can play a close game and win it. Roys boys haven't played a close game in the tourney yet. This game had me worried from the get go, But I don't have that same feeling right now.
The time off this week will really help the boys focus on the ultimate prize.

In hind sight we should have been in the road blue uni's as that was a partisan Davidson crowd and perhaps officiated as if it was an in conference road game, always is when Cinderella is around.
I know this game had a pace not to the liking of many here, but not getting into a run and gun contest may have been best.
I think our shooting will be better in San Antonio in a setup for basketball as opposed to that fiasco up in Detroit.
For those into the karma of the whole thing:
The last time Kansas made the final four and went to the title game was when my now current state held its pharmacy convention on the same weekend and was in Dallas/Fort Worth area. This next week end our pharmacy convention is in Dallas. I very much remember being the only Jayhawk fan in the convention hotel sports bar during that final four.

ok BCRaven........ i love the karma and eery coincidences we keep hearing about and i hope you can go and cheer like you did 20 years ago!! even if you are alone again.... be loud and be proud and hopefully be part of a HUGE win against the baby blue!!!! we were definitely not the crowd favorite today and hopefully we WILL find some love in big 12 country. also, because of my son's bday, i couldn't REALLY tune into texas and memphis very well...... was texas that bad or memphis that good or a combination???

CBS couldn't have been in a bigger hurry to get off the air to watch 60 minutes. I got to see plenty of coverage of unc, ucla and Memphis but nothing for KU. And KCTV 5 locally doesn't cut in? Very dissappointing, but a great win.

I went to the 2002 regional in Wisconsin. Texas fans stayed around to BOO the KU game vs. Illinois. Hopefully we'll get more love this time. I'll be there.

lovemyhawks,
I watched the shorthorns get down early, poor shooting from Abrahms and Augistin who are typically deadly (I think that ridiculous court setup hurt them as well). At that point I was so keyed up with nervous energy I went to the golf course to chip, putt and beat a small bucket of balls. So I did not see if it was entirely Memphis or self inflicted for Texas.
