They have shooters...we need more shooters.

They have shooters we have athletes.  In today’s game shooters beat athletes.  

Not over yet, but doesn’t look good.

Every time Texas goes on a run, Kansas responds. Bamba gets his 20th point but Texas still trails 70-63

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Bamba is having himself a night. Just recorded his 7th block

 

[MikeV73]

Loved the stare down from the 6 foot guy on Bamba.  Idiot.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

It’s hard to beat teams when you allow > 50% from beyond the arc. Texas has played great defense all season, and the shots for Kansas have just been falling all night.

Kansas leads 86-82 with 22.7 seconds left 

 

[MikeV73]

The hoops season has mirrored the football season with our team hanging in with top teams only to lose by minimal points each time.

 

[MikeV73]

17 threes is ridiculous.  Great shooting, will never see that number again, but the defense needs to close out on a lot of those shots.
