KU-KSU: 1st Half Thoughts

*35-25 at the half

*The Hawks played some great defense. Think about it. The Mildcats only have 25 points at half.

*KSU fans were in it to start the game. As they always are. And then they were quiet as KU continued to increase their lead.

*KSU fans sound a lot like MU fans. Boo’ing anything and everything. That’s what uneducated basketball fans do, I guess.

*KU: 47% FG KSU: 33% FG

*Is Tyler Hughes a taller version of Richie Cunningham?

*Anyone else see Jeremiah Massey stare down the KU bench after he scored early and was fouled? Hey Jeremiah? SCOREBOARD.

*Langford hit some big threes in the first half and is playing with more swagger than I’ve seen from him at any point in the season.

*Great first half for Wayne. Well on his way to another double-double.

*Nice clutch 3 point shooting from J.R. as well.

*I LOVE how our guys hit 5-of-9 from 3 point range while KSU was as hot as they’ve been all year, hitting 4-of-7 from 3 point land.

*The most impressive thing about the first half? KU remained calm, played their game, played with a swagger, and just kept on swinging.

*KSU won’t stay hot and will start missing 3’s, start turning the ball over more, etc, etc. It happens every year and a big reason why The Streak lives on.

*Self left the starters in for pretty much the entire first half. Not a whole lot of substituting, but he was subbing at key times…give the starters a quick breather…and get ‘em back in.

*Sweet alley-oop dunk to JR from Aaron. You could feel the air coming out of Bramlage with that one.

*Anyone else notice Jeremy Case sitting BEHIND the Jayhawk bench in street clothes? What’s up with that?

C’mon Hawks! More of the same in the second half.

Rock Chalk,
