app and dream bigger from way downt bang coming up we'll countdown to tip off and here the exclusive pre-game thoughts of head coach Bill self now let's go live to Courtside from the famed James nay Smith Court at historic Allen Fieldhouse the Cathedral of college hoops sweep across the Sunflower State from Liberal to Lawrence from Hutchinson to Hayes and everywhere I'm a Baylor was a stiff test with good outside shooting but none of those three teams post the type of prolific three-point Firepower that Kansas will face tonight so the absence of one of The Jayhawks top two perimeter Defenders may be felt even more BYU averages an astounding 11 3point makes per game while launching a whopping 32 attempts per contest it's no secret when KU has been beaten in League Play this year it's usually featured the other team going off from three some shooting displays against KU put on by Iowa State West Virginia and Texas Tech have all been high water marks for those respective teams but would be considered just regular night for these cougars Greg BYU has double digigit threes in 18 of their 27 games they are however coming off a season low of Threes at Kansas State on Saturday with just six so they'll try to heat back up here tonight what must The Jayhawks do to keep the Cougars three-point Strokes on ice here this evening we talk a lot about how teams have shot well against us but they haven't shot that great here in out Fieldhouse we're a little more comfortable the juice is up the building's rocking and and it some times gets to teams but they shoot it at such a high rate and you know they're that's their entire game plan and they win or lose by the three you just hope you get a hand up you get a body on them you get the rebound and you get out and go and it can lead to easy buckets on the other end but the defensive awareness that you have to have when you play a team like this tons of back Cuts tons of penetration and they don't necessarily try to score from their penetration they penetrate to pitch so you got to be disciplined you got to stay down and you you got to show but you also can't leave the shooter it's it's a it's a very difficult thing to do but you know that's what they like to do but you want to take them out of that we'll talk to coach self about some of those same defensive principles as well as Nick Timberlake Straight Ahead as our

dunk and one play versus Texas got to ask that one or the Dunkin still water that was rated number three I guess this one got fifth on Saturday night which is your favorite dunk uh I'd probably say the the one at home alop um just the more so the fact that it was at home and the reaction from everyone and just not being able to hear myself think right after uh it was pretty cool do you pay attention the Social Media stuff with some of the memes people put out and all that that're now singing your praises and and uh hyping up the athlete that is Nick Timberlake uh no not really I mean most of my boys have been sending me them just just to make sure I see them and everything for a good life but uh no I haven't really been paying attention to it that much confidence has got to be on the climb with some of your recent contributions on both ends of the floor speak to your current mindset and what you're doing to try to help fill the Gap while Kevin's out yeah I mean I'm just doing whatever I can me I feel like I've been doing pretty good job uh past couple games of what my role has been uh obviously Kev came back for Oklahoma and uh didn't really play as much as I had the past couple games but I felt like I had a impact defensively that game rather than offensively but uh I mean we ended up getting the road wi K was huge help in that game and then obviously didn't play against Texas but everyone else stepped up so that was great to see I mean Marco uh Jamari myself P all stepped up from the bench so when everything's uh rolling for us we're uh we're pretty good exactly you certainly are is there a a moment in particular where you felt like things started to click or you started to settle in I mean there's high water marks throughout League Play going back to Morgantown when you had the huge first half but was there any particular moment you recall where you kind of felt settled I wouldn't say there was a like particular moment I think it's just kind of been a buildup of everything that's been happening throughout the year um and obviously like the more playing time I get the more comfortable I'm feeling and everything it's definitely different from the environments that I'm used to of T in The Last 5 Years I mean I was I knew everything in that system just with my eyes closed so learning a whole new system and everything uh I mean it's definitely taken me a little bit longer than I would have liked to have but uh I mean I think it's coming out of perfect time you did a great job weathering the storm in the midst of some of that who were the the Rocks you were able to lean on when you were going through some of the challenging transitional times yeah I mean uh my dad and mom have been a huge help just talking to them uh I mean my dad's played college basketball before so he understands the pressure of it but he also doesn't understand the pressure of Kansas basketball so he like he's trying to say the most he can but he also understands that he's never had pressure like this before on himself so he just kind of saying it from like a life standpoint of like just keep on going uh just trust the process and good things will come that's great advice and I certainly admire the way you've attacked it let's talk about tonight's challenge BYU obviously comes in stinging from Saturday's loss in Manhattan but just this time of week ago they were knocking off number 11 Baylor so great shooting team they score north of 80 a game what stands out to you as you size up the Cougars yeah I mean it's another big 12 team so they're obviously very talented and it's going to be another battle for us but uh I mean they're great three-point shooting team like you said score a lot of points so just maintaining the three is going to be very crucial for us uh today when coach says things like we got to defend the perimeter better run guys off the line add some specifics to that in layman's terms for our listeners what is defending the perimeter need to look like from your Vantage Point yeah just uh making them uncomfortable making them into drivers rather than Shooters I mean they like to get downhill and pass it so whatever we can do to close those gaps close the three-point line uh it will be in our favor be some great Keys Nick we're so proud of your success best of luck tonight and thanks again for the time thank you Ro

lifelong Health learn more at lmh.org well coach a great test in the fog tonight with BYU coming in we'll talk about the Cougars here in just a second but first off a really complete performance on Saturday particularly in the first half of all the things you could carry over from Saturday to tonight what would you most like to see well we were we guarded we were efficient we rebounded it above average uh there I mean it was we were pretty good the first half so I I'd say we did everything fairly well the first half Texas who has a really talented athletic team we all know that they're ranked 40th in the net the team we're playing tonight ranked 12th or 13th I think people don't know how good BYU is uh uh they're good and they can really shoot and we're going to have to uh have to be really turned up tonight as well no doubt we'll dive into some of those defensive keys in a second offensively you made the observation a couple of times since Saturday that while it's unfortunate we're without Kevin right now the ball seems to be moving a little bit with this group uh speak to that and what you've seen from some of the guys moving the ball a little bit better well I just said the ball not sticking you know uh I think the guys realize that we're missing 19 points a game so we need to we need to do some some things better in order to maybe get some easy baskets and give other guys a chance to maybe do what they do well uh because when you lose 19 points a game you you you're uh you got to get it from somewhere and so I I think the ball has uh has moved pretty well uh it it moved very well at times uh this year when we had our full complimented guys very well but I I I I think the thinking that we we better better move it better or we won't have success now I think is is something that's helped us a little bit the ultimate distributor is Dean Harris and we were talking last night on Hawk talk about the last month he's had I went back and added it all up 56% shooting assist the turnover ratio is 4 to1 and obviously defensively he continues to shine particularly on Aus the other day how proud of him are you over this last four-week stretch well yeah I'm you know we all love one and everything I I'll be proud of him when the season's over and we win have a successful March you know but but but uh he's done great uh played well and of course he's going to have to do the same moving forward and one of the keys for Nick Timberlake to continue on an uptick I don't know uh just keep doing what he's doing you know he's playing hard and playing to athletic ability and you know he's taking good shots uh uh uh and he's still going to have a game where he makes three or four uh threes but but uh yeah he's doing he's doing well and and uh making the most of the opportunity speaking of making shots we'll talk about a team that makes a ton of them and we come back the BYU Cougars on the Equity Bank jhawk Sports network from learfield fnbo free

find free and supportive adult education centers near you brought to you by the Dollar General literacy foundation and the Ad Council get ready for more with the head coach it's part two of our pregame interview with head coach Bill self we continue our pregame conversation with head coach Bill self and dive into BYU one of the most dynamic three-point shooting teams in the country 11 makes per game they shoot them at 35% as you refer you know an average night for them is double digit threes so you're expecting them early and often talk about the challenges of taking on a team like that well you got to you know they can drive it too and and they're good athletes and they can shoot it they run great stuff uh they look to score and transition you got to you can't build run back to the Lane and build out they would have already shot it so you got to you got to get to Shooters initially and guard the arc and you know our defense second sh our our first shot defense for the year has been really good really good uh I think our defense Ive efficiency we're you know we're in the top 10 of the country and and those sorts of things but the one thing we haven't done well we haven't defended The Arc like we could when we haven't played well it's been because people have busted us up pretty good from Beyond The Arc uh and this is a team that can certainly do that so we we got to get the shooters better our ball screen coverage needs to be really good so that way uh they can't score off of that from behind the ark and that's what ball screens are designed to do is get you in rotations and get you to help and and get you off Shooters and so we we're going to have to we're going to have to be on point from a big man perspective trior and Khalifa offer a couple of different looks speak to the Keys against guys like those two well they're you know Khalifa is a you know we think Hunter's a good passer khif is a unbelievable passer that's what I kept telling hun I said you think you can pass you can't pass like this guy I mean this guy is an elite passer he's a good three-point shooter obviously shooting what 34 or whatever it is but and he shoots a lot but he's not a real he's not an agile guy at all hopefully we can take advantage of that they bring in the big load inside that's not a three-point shooter and and can pass but obviously isn't the same type passer there's only one of those in America we've got to do a good job cuz he's going to play Closer to the basket and how we guard ball screen going to be a big key to how we guard the post and and different things and so so uh Hunt's got a different challenge tonight he's got a different challenge you know a lot of the people we played in the past are ball screen run to the rim guys and all this stuff and he'll have one of those and the other one will be a pick and pop guy for the most part so it it hunt needs to be big tonight you know I I think that uh this is a game and hopefully in which he can he can really take advantage of what he does well I I think this could be a a night where where if if if you know Things fall right for him uh hopefully he can have a big night that's exciting all right we've covered a lot of defensive Keys further keys for Kansas and a win tonight well you we you got to execute but the biggest thing is you you can't let them don't be comfortable you can't let them play at at their Pace with their Rhythm and and and everything we need to make sure that the game feels fast to them uh uh when they're on offense and we're on defense uh if if if the game's in slow motion to them because of our lack of being able to get after them I I I do think that placed at their advantage in a big way so hopefully uh that's something that we can do defensively and and and of of course rebounding the ball is always going to be a key with us because we haven't been a great rebounding team we've been okay we've been pretty good and we've had some great rebounding games but also we've been pretty poor at times too so those are things we got to got to do but you look at Texas Tech K State didn't shoot a great percentage but they may they made some without question you know whether it be Central Florida whether it be West Virginia uh Iowa State made 14 against us you look at the games in which we haven't may had success Marquette shot it well I believe if I remember correctly it's been because we haven't defended the art very well so this will be a big key tonight all right coach best of luck T you thank you that's said coach Bill s

that fell out of the rankings yesterday despite knocking off number 11 Baylor this time a week ago in fact the Cougars have the most votes of any unranked team and start the week in seventh place of the ultra competitive Big 12 Conference BYU boasts one of the nation's best three-point shooting teams and an offense that averages north of 80 points a game so defending the perimeter will be of

Allen Fieldhouse Kansas about to get this party underway with Hunter Dickinson in the jump Circle opposite of Noah Waterman he has a 3-in height Advantage tossing the tap one by KU wearing some cream colored uniforms tonight more on those later BYU in the road Blues a Nike School Kansas attacking from right to left as we view the court Johnny Fury collecting a pass at the top of the circle man-to-man defense by BYU to open this game Timberlake on the left wing flings head of the circle now to Dickinson eight to shoot hands off to Fury jump stop at the free throw line turns back thean for to shoot spins in the lane a scoop shot on the way is good thean Harris continues his terar and KU strikes first what an opening possession not much BYU can do there just a crazy good shot by Dean Harris two nothing Kansas BYU has it head of the circle with the big fella Khalifa who Bill self says is the best passer in the country here's a three-pointer launched and missed this time by Nell rebound Johnny Fury who's been averaging nearly seven boards a game as a starter it's really improved use overall rebounding as a team Here Comes Timberlake back to Dickinson long two misses strong and the rebound to beu and Nell Dickinson's shooting numbers have really dipped in League Play from three and from the free throw line more on that later inside Khalifa misses the shot but he's fouled by Fury a little shot fake got Fury elevated and the Freshman fouled the veteran big yeah and the threat of the three right there two guys running atam Fury had to catch up and keep an eye on that one don't want one to become two need Johnny fury on the floor CIFA at 611 bricks the first free throw is 611 270 out of Egypt only averages six points a game but as we talked about one of the best passing big men in America and he actually leads the Big 12 and assist the turnover ratio you don't often see that from a 611 guy yeah very high basketball IQ and really sees things before they have and he's a good Center Point for their offense Harris off to KJ leans in muscles up and gets it to go and the foul a chance to three for KJ Adams Big Boy ball Hall just looked at I'm like what do you expect me to do KJ just barreled right through the chest of Hall he was no match for the strength and athleticism of KJ Adams what a ball game he had on Saturday might have had a little little extra notch in him or whatever because it was his home school home City school and you know obviously didn't go to Texas but in their farewell down Field US wanted to have a big day and here he is starting out today with a big bucket and the free throw 5 to one J Hawks he's shooting 67% from the free throw line in conference action 59% overall on the year he completes the three-point play but then a quick foul on dwan Harris who is swiping at the ball from Hall and wo picks up his first you know dwan gambles a lot you know he kind of reached in there definitely body contact and going to call that every time BYU gets it into Hall a sophomore out of Plain City Utah picks up his dribble on the right wing then gets it right back from Johnson who just became a father last week we'll tell you more on that next time we get a dead ball here's Hall on a drive driving and scoring over Hunter Dickinson got it around that 72 wingspan and banked it in in and this BYU team knows that teams are going to try to run him off the line and they are going to put the ball on the floor and that time Hall got around Hunter Dickinson and got the bucket first BYU field goal make it's 5 to three Kansas Adams enters in to Dickinson Khalifa guarding him on the right elbow picks up his dribble skips over the top to Harris thought about a three Blows By His man finds Nick he'll try one missed it front iron and the rebound to BYU boy that was a good look feet set shoulders square but missed it a little short here come the Cougars 5-3 Kansas here early BYU launches a quick three over Dickinson that misses with a thud that one from Nell rebound Fury again his second defensive rebound Johnny collects at the top fires inside to hunt turns shoots got it to go and the foul around and around that ball spun and finally fell through after the Miss by now Hunter did a good job of busting it down the floor got on that left block created position and didn't give it up that's the most important part he doesn't allow Khalifa to root him out the guys found him quick hitter at The Rim in transition coach self said in the pregame this is the type of matchup where Hunter could really Thrive if they establish him here early and that's exactly what they've done three-point play completed 8 to3 now Kansas yeah you look at Khalifa at 611 270 but not very Fleet a foot a lob over the top to Johnson rejected emphatically by KJ and Timberlake comes up with the carum Here Comes Kansas KJ brings it up the floor steps through fires left side to Fury now they back it out to Harris 8 to3 Jayhawks here early Harris controlling at the tip of the Jayhawks beak dribbles it right side lobs over to KJ muscles up misses tip won't go for Hunter and the rebound to BYU and Khalifa ahead to Johnson sprinting down the right sideline he's 26 years of age the oldest player in D1 misses here it was partially blocked by Nick but they're going to say out of bounds off BYU Johnson pleading his Pace politely but that's going to be KU ball that was just Nick not giving up position made him take a much more difficult shot didn't tip it and he missed it by 3 feet he was asking Carri Crawford for a uh foul but there wasn't anything there that was just a wild shot 8 to3 Kansas Dickinson head of the circle right side rifles it toward Timberlake who's tripped up no whistle keeps his dribble though and saves it ahead to Dickinson Hunter left side to KJ eight to shoot for Kansas KJ driving on Khalifa out to Nick he'll try a three and miss it in and out no good rebound Fury though and KU will keep one for three no and a push inside Dickinson draws a foul on BYU yeah Waterman and Hunter were matched up up and Waterman even at 611 is giving up some hype to hunt Hunter did a nice job with inside position foul on Waterman second Miss by Timberlake from three who's been really good in every other phase of late Bill self said this to you in postgame on Saturday he said it on Hawk talk last night those shots that he's missing he hits probably seven times out of 10 in practice what's it going to take to get the three-point prowess to translate to game night well he's got to keep shooting you know that was part of his problem early on he was thinking too much so keep shooting Shooters got to shoot and it's going to go on you're exactly right I watch practice all the time and he's he's great he

Dominion Freight Line official Freight carrier of Kansas Athletics helping the world keep promises hi this is Alonzo Jameson and you're listening to Kansas jhawk basketball on the jhawk sports network 8 to3 here early Kansas leading BYU interesting hearing Greg rubel the voice of the Cougars telling David Lawrence that BYU just two weeks ago was in the top 25 nationally in defensive efficiency but the bottom has dropped out in the last fortnite they've Fallen all the way to the high 60s nationally and meanwhile they're drying up from three seven of their last nine League games they've not had double digigit threes which normally is an every night thing for this cougar team well and that happens as you get deeper into the season cuz when you're known for something you learn to guard against it you game plan for it it's much you got to have option b and option C Kansas trying to pass in front of KJ Adams has it tipped and taken away it's a steal by Robinson he drives down the floor fumbles it out of bounds Robinson is their top scorer but has been a reserve for the bul of this season just six starts looked like he'd have a breakaway bucket there but Kansas gets back to force the fumble well he tried to do what Kevin mcculler does a lot is make something out of nothing and there was nowhere to go and he fumbled it out of bounds after the turnover by dwan hawks with a basketball leading 8 to3 Hunter trying to post up on the left block they lob over the top a double team comes and a foul is going to be called as he turned to shoot it almost immediately on the catch and that's going to be a second quick foul inside on one of BYU's best post players Noah Waterman I don't know if that was that on Waterman I believe that's what they just said second foul on Waterman who's walking over toward the bench area first free throw by Dickinson misses this is something I was going to ask you about Hunter in League Play has really dipped in his shooting statistics 16% from three in the Big 12 67% from the free throw line Greg he was at 85% before conference action started he misses both of them here what's going on with the shooting form of Dickinson here's a deflection by Harris out of bounds it'll stay with BYU Hawks up five I I know I don't have a great answer cuz I watch him after practice every day shoot the B basketball with Joe douy three-pointers mid-rangers free throws and makes I mean it's it's a it's a mental thing it's not physical so unfortunately I don't have a great answer there's a deep three for BYU and this one is good they got hul a good look off of green trior hand it off and Hall fires it in to cut the KU lead down to aduce and obviously when you play a team like BYU they're never going to be out of the game even if Kansas establishes a big lead fury on a Blow by flings in the corner now they kick it right side to Adams back to Johnny he pulls the trigger missed it strong Kansas ice cold from three to open this game they are 0 for four rebound BYU inside trior back out Saunders for three well off the the mark rebound Fury with one hand aob up the floor it's Dickinson a two- hand Slammer Hunter Dickinson cherry picking underneath fires it home that is a rarity to see your big guy cherry picking that's usually your best rebounder is going to be under the basket but he was wide open Hawks by four 10 six trior inside backing down on Dickinson leans in muscles up and strip going up from behind by KJ picked up by Dickinson Hawks made a sandwich out of trior that time and it was KJ they got a quick hand in aab on the other into to KJ and he's fouled on the catch and then gets tangled up after the play and after the whistle with Trevon Nell who picks up the foul yeah KJ once again just like Hunter did a few possessions ago sprinted down the fort got a quick seal and Kansas found him over the top there's the substitution pattern that we talked about as Hunter dwan and Nick timberl go out as elarco Jackson Parker Brown and Jamari McDow gets the call this is where you got a lean on KJ as the veteran on the floor they go back door to El Marco who loses the handle and thankfully it's kicked out of bounds by Hall that play was busted from the word go as he was fumbling and stumbling with the ball looked like BYU had a steal but then Hall just couldn't quite grasp it yeah got a break there cuz like you said would have been a turnover so see how this five on the for did such a nice job the other day against Texas McDow collects at the free throw line kicks back to Fury Johnny with eight on the clock picks up his dribble left side elarco five to shoot forces one up and gets it to go El Marco Jackson Nails a 15-footer 126 Kansas that's his game a couple dribbles mid-ranger late in the clock that's a big time bonus for this Kansas team with this team on the floor for El Marco to get a bucket robob inside trior passes backwards now they kick the hall for three missed it short rebound trior but a BYU Cougar hit the deck and they put a foul on Kansas I believe this one's going to go on Jamari McDow his first n ended up 20 ft from the basket and by hu got the ball and he went flying out of there probably saved Kansas from BYU getting a bucket 13 11 to go in the half 12 to six Kansas they get it in N splits two Defenders up under and in what a beautiful over the-shoulder finish jumping from the right block and finishing on the left side 12 to8 Kansas Hawks lob down the floor head to Fury right hand layup good poetry in motion El Marco to KJ and Johnny with a kiss how about that after a made bucket the ball doesn't touch the floor and he get a layup on the other end they foul n on a three and BYU who's a very good free throw shooting team is going to get three with Nell Towing the stripe KJ just a little bit late came across the body was playing catchup and clearly got him got to allow him the space to come down and no argument from anybody that's a foul so now a 75% free throw shooter ravages 11 points a game bricks the first and the Kansas student section rejoices having a hand in that one 14 to8 J Hawks 1242 to go here in the first half n will get two more two-time West Coast Conference First Team all academic pick he hits the second and we'll see a sub here as Trey Stewart checks in for Hall one more coming for Nell 14 to n Kansas in front third free throw good he goes two for three 14- 10 Kansas in front BYU with a little bit of pressure here as Kansas gets it into elarco Jackson Stewart making it tough to get it across the timeline he does and passes ahead to McDow he's coming off Five Points on Saturday versus Texas back it out to Jackson dribbling behind his back passes backwards toward KJ on the elbow dribbles in forces one up that misses and the rebound to trior underneath rebound BYU here come the Cougars 1215 to go in the half four-point jhawk lead here's a three fading firing and good from Robinson the Cougars have cut it to one and quickly Here Come Those three starters right back to the scores table Yeah and seven of the points have been scored against this team on the floor for Kansas right now fire underneath the Parker lays it up and in El Marco threaded the needle and brown with the the finish it really was a thread the needle he threw it through a lot of hands good catch by Parker Kansas offensively in the four possession they've had have been successful on three of the four 1613 Kansas Saunders driving through the paint had it Stripped by KJ taken away by Fury who then is fouled in the open floor by Nell who I believe just picked up his second how about the active Hands by KJ Adams that's the second time he's got his hands in the cookie jar to pill for away yeah KJ so active and a nice job by that group we we'll talk about it all night when Hunter Nick and dwan go to the bench but in that little sample size Kansas scored six points gave up seven but I like what they did out there on the floor

whip up a couple pans of Bill self Mack chees watch our j-hawks at the 23rd Street Brewery if you can't be at the [Music] game 11:33 to go here in the first half 1613 Kansas the j-hawks have opened 7 of 15 from the field 48% BYU four of 10 for 40% difference is the Cougars have hit a couple of Threes Kansas 0 for four for Beyond The Arc Bill self was talking about it last night this cougar team that's had double digit threes in 18 of their 27 games means that they've done that on 16 more occasions than Kansas can you name the two times we actually had double digit threes yeah I was going to think our first couple games right yep I don't know if I can name those teams but North Carolina Central in Manhattan College other than that that's it well we started out good those were if I I do remember we had 99 points in both those games how's that you've got a mind like a steel trap partner how do we get the three-point ball to start falling obviously no mcculler yet again hurts in that regard but Fury's capable you know it's in there somewhere with Nick but uh on a night where you expect to be outshot dramatically from three you'd hate to keep taking a goose egg well yeah you can't have a goose egg got to you know we got to still be very efficient offensively if we're not going to make threes we got to be efficient from inside the arc and uh you know right now looking at s of 15 but on two-point shots that's seven of 11 Kansas with the ball and a three-point lead 1613 Hawks in their wave the week cream uniforms tonight here's Harris on a drive misses a running rander rebound tipped about and BYU's got it with Robinson cougars want to push they pass it down the right side toward Trey Stewart guarded by Nick Timberlake bounce for bounce 1108 to go in the half three-point jhawk lead out to Saunders finds Khalifa at the top with 10 seconds to shoot he picks up his dribble passes back towards Saunders down to seven to shoot Saunders backing down on Nick leans in forces one up that crawls off no good rebound Nick Timberlake great defensive stand for Kansas really good possession by Nick Timberlake aarco on on a drive misses a wild one and he'll likely get a hook after that rebound BYU Here Comes Khalifa head of the circle picks up his dribble has to hand off to Richie Saunders 1613 Kansas they lob underneath the Saunders now McDow there on the catch he Fades floats misses rebound Hunter Dickinson it's usually been one and out for BYU offensively Kansas doing a nice job on the defensive glass steps back on a three he knocks it down Jamari McDow for the second straight ball game dials it up from long distance yeah I think you ask a lot of people who's going to hit the first three but Jamari mcdal might not have been the first guy to come to mind but here's a three on the other end by Khalifa he answers right back and he only hits him at 34% but that one was pure yeah all five guys can shoot it 1916 Kansas Tim Timber Lake muscles in and misses a wild flip well that's three in a row for Kansas by three different guards that have tried to drive it from the right side and it's not been close on the other end for the tie Robinson in and out no good a corner pocket three would not fall rebound Dickinson of Kansas just one offensive board for BYU thus far Harris left side gets it from Dickinson passes back to Hunter long Deuce misses a jump shot is broken of late rebound BYU and he kind of curses under his breath as he runs down the floor yeah how much more you can ask for that was a good look that's where Hunters made a lot of shots and just right now doesn't have a going Robinson from 17 missed it strong rebound El Marco once again a one andout offensive possession for BYU who's only shooting five of 16 inside Hunter had it stripped for a second by Robinson and they say BYU knocked it out of bounds they're really letting play down there Khalifa and Hunter really going at a lot of contact I like the way they let it go nice Applause for Jamari mcdal now Marco Jackson as Fury and dwan check back in Hawks looking for some separation here hard to get that when you're up against a prolific three-point shooting team as Greg said you could have a three-possession lead and suddenly it's two-point game just like that right now Kansas having seen three threes made by BYU still leads 1916 get it into Dickinson double Team trap comes kicks out to Fury Johnny will drop throws up one wildly that banks in Fury with the left hand left block got hit to fall he took on some contact kind of rooted him out a little bit he's still strong enough with that left hand to give Kansas the five-point lead now they got a mismatch underneath Harris guarding Khalifa he passes backwards and a block from behind but a wh and a foul on Kansas it was a nice find by the excellent passing big man Khalifa to hit a streaking Waterman eyes in the back of his head to find Waterman but a foul from behind on Kansas and Johnny Fury sent him to the line and the underneath official Terry Oglesby called at the outside officials where the foul was or possible foul was not called Bill self asking veteran really good official Terry Oglesby how is that a foul it's a big development as that's Fury second foul so McDow will have to check in Jeb Hartness Gary Maxwell and the afor mentioned Terry Oglesby your thre man crew second free throw also good they've cut it to three have the Cougars 816 to go in the half 2118 Kansas Waterman was a teammate of Justin Roberts that's right way back when three-point Kansas Advantage BYU averages 83 a game offensively Harris hooks a pass to Adams steps through rifles one up and right in it goes plus contact and a foul it's a chance to three for KJ Adams there's nothing they can do when KJ gets ahead of steam going just right into the chest that's the second time he's gotten all the way to the cup just playing Bully ball so anytime you can get that little pocket pass short post to KJ just let him go to work KJ one for one from the charity stripe thus far I didn't explain myself very well Justin Roberts Norm Roberts son to those are I know you knew that second free throw or only free throw here misses short he fights for the rebound and BYU knocked it out of bounds great Hustle by the shooter KJ to make sure BYU didn't get that board yeah and I was wondering if KJ was going to go after it cuz it was clearly off a BYU leg as he missed the free throw badly but it was so bad it it bounce all the way out of bounds Kansas will keep it chance for a four or five point possession on un leash

this is Walt Wesley and you're listening to Kansas jhul basketball on the jhawk sports network Walt Wesley was not on the floor the last time BYU came to Allen Fieldhouse but almost it was about 5 years later they came for their lone trip 1971 and our good buddy Bud stalworth had an amazing day that day not a career day because well he'd later score 50 versus bazou but at 71 December the 17th Bud stalworth wound up going for 32 points 14 rebounds and five assists on 14 of 27 shooting to help Kansas knock off BYU in their lone trip to Allen Fieldhouse how about that 14- 27 not not too shabby I'd take that all day right now Kansas shooting at 10 of 22 have made that one three that was Jamari mcow bwu basically on Pace to to shoot in the 30s they're only three of eight maybe a little under their numbers 12 double team here get into Harris it's pford away his first turnover in three games but then they turn it right back as Nick Timberlake got a hand in to force it Loose of BYU and and the Cougars knock it out of bounds yeah back to Juan he had a 13 to0 assisted turnover ratio last week and if you go back over the last month Greg his assisted turnover ratio is 4 to1 which would be top five nationally and faren Away the Big 12 leader and that was only there's a nice feed inside to KJ and he banks it in McDow on the feed Adams on the finish and Jamari does such a good job of just making the easy play got it got rid of it quick perfect feed to KJ Johnson launes on a three and drains it the new proud papa whose wife just had a baby on Thursday hits a three ball there to cut it to a four-point Kansas lead 2521 and after a made bucket that shouldn't happen that was just one pass wide open look KJ fumbles on the catch fights through a double team and a tie-up is called BYU has the arrow so the Cougars with a athletic and aggressive hands there reach in to force the tie up yeah and that was a big tie up cuz KJ if he got that that was going to be a dunk but a good tie up there alternate possession goes to BYU after they hit the three KJ with seven points right now to lead all Jayhawks 2521 Kansas trior hands off head of the circle the hall the point guard back to Johnson who just hit a three moments ago he flips it to hall right side Saunders for three got it BYU already with five of them in the half they are five of 10 here we go a season low 6 threes on Saturday in the little apple already five just down the road in Lawrence well once they break you down you're playing catchup then they hit you beyond the arc KJ pulls up from 12 misses awkwardly and the rebound at Johnson of BYU one point KU lead it's a 60 Cougar Run Hall at the top fires right side cougars for the lead a m as KJ hit the deck and he's in pain and now Nick Timberlake is too he is face down on the ground ring in pain KJ gets up okay but right now all eyes on Timberlake it was a thud and I was watching the rebound so I didn't see the actual fall waiting for a replay there boy look like he fell right on that right on his left side watch this he just boom tailbone right on the tailbone and that's smarts and it definitely hurts and he's able to walk over to the bench in his own under his own power and oh man oh wait now he can't put any weight on his right foot he goes down to a crouched catcher like stance right as I said he was walking over in his own power he took about three or four steps and just went down as he reaches back and kind of puts his hand on his lower back oh no can't put any weight on the right leg they're going to help him off to the locker room obviously Kevin MCCA is out for the fifth time in the last eight games Michael jenovich is out he's sick not even on the Kansas bench not even in the building tonight and man you know Kevin is really already bummed out that he can't be with his team right now but he's got to find a way to get healthy because Kansas has zero depth if this is anything significant with Timberlake that means McDow and Jackson are going to have to play extended minutes the rest of the way yeah keep an eye on that the 611 Mark as Nick Timberlake went into the locker room and not really under his own power that Johnny Fury with two fouls he's got to be careful one point KU lead Harris gets airborne and threw it away had to double pump as the defense stepped in front it's his second turnover BYU up the floor Saunders for the lead missed it side iron offensive rebound went through the hands of Johnson KJ's got it here comes Kansas to FY a right hand haming dunk he fires it through Johnny Fury with a poster how about that break they miss a three get out and get an easy one on the other end Johnny Fury athletica is a play you're going to see in a long time there's a trior forces up a Miss rebound BYU they kick it out three-pointer launched and missed in and out no good rebound offensively Saunders right back up and in Parker Brown couldn't seize it and Saunders did back to a onepoint KU lead yeah really miss hunt pogging up the middle that's a rebound he normally gets but he's over on the bench two opportunities in the bucket Harris tight ropes the Baseline finds Jackson drives through the paint area jump stop muscles it away and Banks it off the heel no good it bounced twice on the bridge wouldn't go and it's going to be BYU ball with another chance to take the lead they have never LED but here they are down just one Saunders kicks out left side Hall 435 to go in the half Kansas leads 2726 cougars five of 13 from Bri here's another one this one misses short rebound Fury who then is knocked to the ground racing up the floor and a foul on the Cougars will be their eighth free throws coming for Johnny that's one of those long rebounds Johnny chases it down would have had a breakaway good foul by Hall but Johnny a good free throw shooter go to the line to build this lead BYU's just sticking around that three pointer keeps them in it they're now five of 14 Beyond The Arc Fury did something on Saturday you almost never see 16 points on three shots yeah Bill talked about it in the post game just I think he wants Johnny to shoot it more I mean if you're that efficient shoot more but he was shooting Plenty when he got fouled which is why he had 11 free throw attempts hitting nine and he hits the front end right here does Fury who this season has shot him at 75% six you look at the box score right now Johnny Fury seven points three of four from the field made his only free throw five rebounds and a couple assists both free throws good for Fury KU lead extended to three 425 to go in the half Kansas four of seven from the free throw line but those two are big Johnson for the tie it's an air ball and he'll hear it from the Kansas crowd as that one bounces into the second throw it's 2926 Kansas and the Hawks have the ball little game of catch up there as Dean Harris came around the screen got a hand up to force that air ball so much lower percentage when you get a hand up and make them challenge them a little bit see what KU can get with this group on the floor Harris ahead to KJ flings and scores little flip from the hip driving right down the heart of the paint it's a fivepoint KU Edge and danan there's a back door cut by Robinson rejected by KJ what a denial at The Rim Here Comes Kansas Harris to Brown back to one and now they'll set it up Fury calling for the ball right side shot fakes on a three Blows By Khalifa misses a runner rebound tipped about and BYU's got it with Khalifa Parker just can't hang on to the ball tonight well and almost the third foul on Johnny got a break there where he didn't get called but yeah Parker got to come down with that rebound five-point can Kanas lead 320 to go in the half Khalifa picks up his dribble at the top plays back to Robinson he'll try a three that misses strong rebound Parker Brown this time he got it here comes Kansas Harris down the right sideline with Dickinson and McDow awaiting a dead ball to check in Harris a floater on points is good Kansas by seven it's ku's biggest lead yeah after BYU got within one Mark Pope can't wait gets a time out before the under four Dean Harris with his float game rolling with that five on the floor expanding that lead by six they're up one and KJ and danan are the guys that got him rolling 60 Kansas lead over the last 95 seconds 3326 I continue to look back through the tunnel toward the Kansas locker room still no sign of Nick Timberlake it looked like he landed either on the hip or the tailbone and sometimes you can get one one of those Stingers from a guy that's had a bad back you get those kind of shooting pains down your leg it's like a like a stinger with football player or whatever and that's what hopefully if that's the case those go away but they're not fun that's why when he stood up and then the pain was at the bottom of the leg and you're like what's going on it's because where the Stinger occurred can send that sensation down your nerve endings all the way to the feet yeah and I I just got done saying he's walking over to the bench in his own power and he went down the jok radio network attire is presented

child in a car a message from nit and the Ad Council 253 to go here with the first half 3326 Kansas in front J Hawks riding a 60 run it's been a scoring drout of 221 for the Cougars how about this Greg oh for their last six from three just a few minutes ago they were shooting 50% from downtown but they've gone cold and now you look down it's five of 16 yeah it's a numbers game for them they're going to keep shooting them and you got to keep getting a hand up they're going to make some very good three-point shooting team but it's it's the numbers go way down when you get a hand up seven-point KU lead BYU with the ball coming out of the timeout 33-26 Kansas Johnson guarded by Dickinson out front tries a three over the Center it misses rebound Dickinson a long board near the left short Corner yeah great to see Nick Timberlake back in there looking like he's all good no aftermath of that bad fall hand off to McDow curls around his man now backs it out to the corner seven-point Kansas Edge 215 to go in the half they try to enter toward Hunter and he bats it out of bounds it's a turnover what happened on that post feed from McDow yeah it was a bad feed by Jamari I mean had position and when you're leaning on a guy you can't lead him you have to throw it right to his chest and Hunter when you have all that weight going back it's harder to go forward when you're fighting with a guy jamar's got to throw that ball right to his chest and Chin 3326 Kansas CIFA thought about a long two instead tries to hand it off but it's broken up for a second n had to go out near midcourt to get it now Khalifa for three misses short long rebound saved by BYU they're going to keep great hustle that time by h Hall he dribbles it over to the right wing area with 12 seconds to shoot Hall feeds into Khalifa down to seven to shoot backing down on Hunter Khalifa down to 3 seconds two seconds does he realize it forces up a prayer not answered tipped about and mcdow's got it for KU yeah good possession there they had the offensive rebound had a second opportunity Kansas thwarts that attempt Jackson kicks out to Parker Brown now Timber Lake on the left side every time Hunter has position that weak side guy is there Bill self's going to get a timeout here at the 112 Mark he didn't really like the way that possession was going he had his use it or lose it and he wanted to get KJ back in the game as well as Dean they were both waiting there and if you don't sub them in on this possession who knows if they come back in with 112 to go in the half so Kansas every time Hunter posts up much like we're defending the U we know what they like to do Kansas likes to throw the ball to H that weak side guy on the other block is stopping that over-the-top pass that's fine that means somebody else is open cuz that Defender is out of position and Kansas has to figure out who that guy is it is it a skip pass to the corner for an open three that's probably the next step because we live and die by throw throwing it over the top to Hunter on the left or right block He commands that kind of attention now can Kansas capitalize on it the KU Bookstore is the official KU campus store since 1946 and lmh health is your partner for lifelong Health learn more at lmh.org 3326 Kansas 112 to go in the half Nick Timberlake for what it's worth is all smiles right now so he doesn't look to be any worse for the wear after that hard spill that sent him momentarily to the Kansas locker room get it into Harris 12 to shoot for Kansas thean barking out the play call now looks to drive the kick to Nick six to shoot feeds into Hunter steps through jump hook buried Hunter Dickinson what a bucket and KU has its biggest lead of nine somewhat of a wild post shot that time but he had to take it he is completes it gives Kansas their biggest lead Dickinson three of six he's got seven points not BYU not going to do a little two for one here they skip over the top to Robinson for three he drills it Kansas got there late and that halted an 0 for8 spell from three by BYU and just lost him in the corner Kansas does a smart thing though with 36 on the clock Jamari held the ball out of bounds while the clock is running to ensure that Kansas will get the last shot 3529 Kansas look for some slide to the corner here Harris dribbling on the front foot of the jhawk at Center Court McDow off the screen collects right side down to 5 Seconds Harris a lob toward Dickinson was forced and broken up a steal for BYU a fulllength shot misses off the shot clock by Stewart and halftime is here well they did exactly what I just described Kansas wanted to get it to Hunter in the post that weak side defender came over and picked it off and Kansas normally pretty good late in halves did not get a successful attempt and BYU ends the half with a three-pointer cut his Kansas lead to six and just as we were singing dewan's praises for the last eight games of leading the nation and assist the turnover ratio a first half of four turnovers for Harris and at the at the 759 Mark we only had one turnover and then he gets three more got to do a better job still an overall pretty good job on turnovers but got to be able to defend that three-point line in the six of 19 it's about at their number well here's the interesting thing when BYU shoots better than 32% from three they're 19-2 in that first half they shot 31.6 yeah right there I guess we'll take that we'll take that I guess 3529 Kansas we're at the half stay tuned first half highlights a breakdown of the box score and more on

breakdown brought to you by Bud Light a proud sponsor of Kansas Athletics easy to drink easy to enjoy you can't tell the Kansas drum line is right in front of us literally 2 ft away so hopefully you can hear these numbers over the top of the drum line but Kansas shot 50% 15 of 30 compared to 30% shooting for BYU they were nine of 30 they stay in the game though because six of their nine makes were from three and that's not uncommon they make more threes than twos you hardly ever see that but that's the philosophy of Mark Pope and his cougars here in 2024 Kansas was led by nine from KJ Adams on four of seven shooting they got seven from Hunter Dickinson eight from Johnny Fury dwan Harris had four points four assists and four turnovers three for Jamari McDow El Marco Jackson had two as did Parker Brown Kansas was just one of five from three BYU six of 19 Hawks were four of seven for the free throw line the Cougars were five of seven Kansas won the battle on the boards 217 and they dominated points in the paint predictably so when BYU is shooting so many threes but 24 to6 looks pretty good in points in the paints Steels three for Kansas five for BYU Kansas had six turnovers the Cougars had four but we come back some first half highlights of the Equity Bank jhawk Sports network from learfield the possibility of lung cancer can be pretty scary especially if you're one of

Fieldhouse 6o KU lead as we get set to start the second half of play 3529 Kansas time to pick our first half player of the half brought to you by Old Dominion Freight Line who works hard to be the best in the game and is proud to support those striving to be the best in theirs Old Dominion the official freight line of Kansas Athletics Greg who do you turn to is it KJ yet again I think so I mean the only other one would be Johnny Fury but KJ once again brings the energy has such a big impact on the game let's go with KJ Adams for me it wasn't just the nine points it was two blocks and he's only credited with one steal but there were two that he initiated so on both ends he is that energy guy KJ Adams Hawks have the ball to start the second half same five starters that open the game Harris to bring it up from left to right as we view the court BYU and a manto man Harris driving right of the lane throws off to Timberlake in the corner shot fakes there comes to the free throw line enters the hunter spins drop step and gets the shot to Bank home Hunter Dickinson with a beautiful footwork post move yeah took a little longer to get him the ball on the right side it touched both sides of the floor and Nick Timberlake Goes Down hard but they're unable to find Waterman on the back door cut but nice start there got Hunter involved early Waterman didn't play much in the first half because of foul trouble they get it out the hall splits two Defenders right side Waterman eight to shoot forces up a three misses it side iron rebound Dickson alab ahead to Fury deep catch right hand layup good Dickinson turns into to a quarterback and throws a Hail Mar touchdown he loves to get the ball off the glass and look and you know we've seen him throw it away a couple times well that was a great find Khalifa wide open for three missed it rebound BYU but it was a push in the back and this one's going to go the other way a foul on D Hall yeah Johnny Fury was right there for the rebound and Hall pushed him right in the back so what a great start by Kansas a minute into the second half backto back buckets and back to back stops I mentioned Dickinson turned into a quarterback with the Hail Mary we will forgive him for listing Josh Allen above Patrick Mahomes he's a lifelong DieHard Buffalo Bills fan we'll uh we'll forgive him for that 14 double doubles make that easy to overlook they feed it inside Dickinson it goes through his legs and Khalifa has the steal for BYU yeah Mahomes has more Super Bowl victories than Josh Allen here's a three that misses from the corner and the rebound to Nick Timberlake Here Comes Nick racing up the floor to the cup misses on a floater but he's fouled and free throws coming for Kansas got bailed out there I stopped my point Patrick Mahomes has more Super Bowl victories than Josh Allen has divisional wins in the playoffs that's so I love I love the back and forth with Hunter cuz he is going to die on that Hill he thinks Allen is better than Mahomes and he's like the only person in the world that believes that timberlakes free throw rattles in how about Nick's Sprint down the heart of the floor there that was Kevin mullish where there was nothing and he just took it right in there and did what Kevin does and that's draw foul so a 60 run here to start the second half as Kansas goes up by 12 Timberlake hits the pair for his first points he's 0 for three from the field but gets the free throws the lead is a dozen ku's biggest Khalifa picks up his dribble head of the circle throws off on the right side for Nell he's driving on Dickinson gets to the left block kicks back out the hall eight to shoot Blows By Fury dumps down to Khalifa and he's fouled by Dickinson and will shoot twoo that time Fury got toasted on the blow by well and it's yes he got toasted but he's going to challenge the three-point shooter and we talk all the time about running guys off the line and that's the rub I mean that's the downside of that you run at a shooter and they decide to put it on the fordward breaks everything down and Khalifa calmly switches the first to Halt the 60 Kon it's an 11-point jhawk advantage 1803 to play one more coming for Khalifa It's 611 270 two pure swishes he wears a heavy knee brace on his left knee it's like one of those offensive linemen yeah knee braces that might be dangerous he looks like a left tackle I agree 4131 Kansas 18 minutes to play Nick steps two a three missed it side iron rebound Timberlake kicks to KJ and they'll reset nice offensive board by Dickinson Harris steps back on a three it misses strong and BYU clears it Kansas not exactly shooting a clinic here from Deep they one of eight yeah I would have liked to have seen they had the mismatch where KJ had a little guy on him but a Miss by Nell and a rebound by Hunter Dickinson piling up the boards he's now got nine of them there's a lob toward KJ went through his hands but he was pushed and a foul called on BYU that'll be there third and is that on Hall that's oh Dickson get into it with n and there was contact above the shoulders and N swung at him he threw a punch that's going to be a flagrant too him and he threw a punch it didn't connect but man I think that's going to be lights out for now I didn't see the first action by Hunter wow Hunter pushed back and hit him above the shoulders so this could go both directions so we'll get a replay review brought to you by the University of Kansas Health System the official healthc care provider of Kansas Athletics together with lmh health after the play was over Dickinson kind of cut across in front of Nell and Nell took issue with that Hunter then flung his arm back caught him in the neck and flew his fist forward I'll be honest with you partner I think Hunter is more in Jeopardy than Nell yeah but then he definitely swung and luckily Nell was shorter than him so couldn't get above his shoulders that's going to probably be flagrant ones on both guys I there was no you know there was no contact there was contact but not to the face so man you might have a uh offsetting flagrant ones do you shoot them so it started with Dickinson cutting off Nell he he took an interesting path after the foul was that intentional by Hunter gamesmanship just trying to kind of bump shoulders yeah I I all I saw was the aftermath I didn't see Hunter until that replay and you're right he took an angle that he went right at Mel and kind of bodied him a little bit not trying to get a dust up but you'll see players do this from time to time in a Sly covert kind of way he didn't have to walk the angle he took and probably didn't expect what would ensue after the initial hip-to-hip bump and here we go Gary Maxwell Jeb Hartness will come over to our side and explain the ruling to TV and radio here we'll have David Lawrence listed in here and listen to the words of Jeb hardness 4131 KU leading by 10 but this is a big call here let's let's get David Lawrence miked up and David can repeat to us over the air what was said David we've got you on a we've got you on a live mic here David what did you hear I couldn't hear all of it but certainly 21 which would be now a BYU okay but no ruling on what they actually said we'll find out over the PA here Bill s having a conversation with Gary Maxell and Jeb hardness as Terry Oglesby is having a conversation with Mark Pope I'm GNA I'm going to make a guess here has been issued to number one Hunter Dickson 21 Trev n so they each get charged with the [Music] technical so in the case of Nell he's now got three before all of this happened we saw the fourth foul issued on hall Hall so that's a developing story for their point guard yeah he's a guy that has the ball in his hand stands constantly and Hall at the 1719 Mark probably not going to see him for 10 minutes he got the push off in the early in the second half as Fury was about to get to rebound and then that one and going to throw something up to KJ had a Hold by yep BYU is going to be whistled for the hold here had a Hold by Johnson as KJ was swinging around on the screen the screener so now that's all of a sudden five team fouls on BYU and three in 1 second no kidding Kansas gets it into Fury he on corks a three in and out no good rebound BYU and Nell now got a really clean look out of the out of bounds play and it was in and out going to Johnson and Adams were tangled up everybody's getting tangled up Robinson a deep three misses short rebound tipped about Kansas fighting for it and Johnny Fury tracks it down and Johnny Fury there were three white shirts there but he tipped it to himself just another smart play on the defensive Glass by Johnny Fury seven rebounds for Fury Dickinson has nine Fury steps back on a long dece missed it short tip Try by Hunter won't fall rebound BYU and Johnson 10-point KU lead here come the Cougars Khalifa The Tall Egyptian passes ahead to Robinson easy right hand Runner is true 8po KU Edge 4133 that's the little back door AC off the screen little rub screen and he keeps running kind of like a UCLA Cut to the front of the rim and kind of a slow developing back door cut an easy bucket for BYU 4133 Kansas Harris little stop and go gets around Waterman Dickinson collects in the corner hands back to dwan 12 seconds on the shot clock Harris picks up his dribble left wing looking for somebody finds Nick down to six skips over the top Hunter is down on the ground KJ fades fires misses short and a rebound to BYU and they're going to they're going to take a look at something extracurricular that may have knocked Dickinson to the ground they waited until Kansas attempted the shot Terry Oglesby didn't call a foul it's going to be the under 16 timeout all I saw was Hunter go to the ground I didn't see any action and see if we can oh yeah Nell just ran right into the midsection of Hunter Dickinson and got an elbow right to the stomach not to the groin but man these were the two players that were just involved in the double technical and if indeed they can see that the elbow was intentional and egregious Nel could be in a world of trouble that would be his fourth well and it' probably be ejection that' be a FL yeah second half action brought to you by Meritrust Credit Union the official Financial well-being partner of Kansas Athletics proudly serving KO fans and the LA Community federally insured by the ncua so we've had four minutes of basketball and a ton has happened no kidding and you don't expect that from BYU of all schools interesting 4133

welcome back Kansas in front 4133 what's the outcome of the replay review well it's inter okay it's going to be BYU's ball it's not going to be anything they didn't come over and tell us anything I was just waiting to see Kansas was huddled up on their end thinking they might get the ball but must have been a uh no nothingburger there but there was sure a lot of contact Terry and Terry o is talking to now and say hey no more n was shaking his head as if to say I knew there was nothing there but he's got to be careful skating on thin ice after the double technical earlier 8 pointk lead 1542 to go Robinson dribbling left side he's their leading score at 14 a game goes back door and Waterman has to fire it off the thigh of Timberlake cuz he was falling out of bounds it's going to stay with BYU with 10 seconds on the shot clock 1535 to go in the game Kansas 41 BYU 33 Saunders to throw it in he's one of four married men on this play on this team he married a former BYU women's basketball player they get it inside and Fior trior up to make the shot it's good and down to a 6po KU lead on a 60 BYU run yeah right back where we started it started out 60 by Kansas and then right back at you by BYU 4135 Kansas Timberlake plays it into Dickinson double Team trap comes skips High to Harris left wing area Juan will drive throws up a floater that misses but he's fouled and free throws coming as that's already the sixth foul on BYU and we've played five minutes and I think that's on Nell yep it's going to be four on Nell four on Hall so they're two two primary ball handlers even though all five guys can handle it that's going to be the two guys that really get this offense going going to have four fouls and Harris will get a couple of free throws Juan's been good at the stripe this year 79% 30 of 38 first one here is true that extends the KU lead to seven j-hawks 14-0 at home this year Bill self amazingly just 17 home losses in 21 seasons he has the second free throw crawl off no good does Harris seven-point KU Advantage as the Hawks try to stay perfect here in Allen Fieldhouse here's a tip by Harris ball on the deck W's got it Harris ahead to Dickinson misses on the layup but he's fouled thean Harris another steal in the open floor and Dickinson will shoot two just active hands then he chased it down and Hunter Dickinson the recipient see if we can get a couple free throws those are the easy buckets the bill self would love to get but now that is the S7 foul this will be two free throws but the rest of the half Kansas will be shooting free throws as Hunter this is the first of two he is one of four today he was 50% on Saturday two of four he's now down to 64% in League Play he was at 84.5 in non-con action second one hits the front iron the backboard and down got to get right between the ears right now with that shooting form for the big F Kansas leaving a lot of points on the table here with missed free throws 4335 J Hawks BYU a step back from Johnson is buried down to a six-point Kansas edge with 1430 to go 4337 Kansas hard to separate here tonight Hawks have led by as many as 12 but by's cut that in half KJ hooks it pass to Dickinson deep catch and then he's pulled on the left arm by Waterman who's going to pick up his third you in all kinds of foul trouble yeah a nice job by KJ drew the defense to the middle didn't attempt a tough shot got it down to H 100 he'll go back to line for a couple so you've got Nell and Hall with four fouls each now three on Waterman and Kansas on a field goal drought of just under five minutes as Hunter knocks down the first now they're getting it done at the free throw line one and two by danan one of2 by Hunter now the first by Hunter see if he can hit this second one give Kansas back that eight-point lead he does and that's what they need him to be a a guy that gets there more often and B A guy that shoots him at north of 75% and Bill s has been lobbying for that for a while with Big 12 officials Robinson Drive stripped going up by Kansas it goes out of bounds and will stay with BYU eight-point jhawk lead 1405 to play how many times have we said it when dwan gets beat just by a little bit he always catches up and gets a hand in there and saves Kansas a bucket he get it into Robinson Lunes a three missed it strong rebound tipped about and a foul is going to be called on KJ Adams who was locking arms with Waterman yeah it's one of those long rebounds that's a tough one bounce right to a BYU player and AJ just a step slow but done a nice job of defending the three here in the second BYU now 0 of five 453 s Kansas Robinson bounces it inside trior kicks it right back out to Robinson for three it's good BYU with another make they're seventh of the night and it's a five-point Kansas lead with 1340 to play yeah right after I said it they had the big goose egg they knock it down there's going to be a foul on trior and Hunter is going to go back to the line for this will be a one and one as that's the 19 foul but way off the ball once again Kansas going to the line for the final one and one of the night for KU it was still 1335 to go incredible we'll take it we need it five-point Kansas lead Hawks have shot their free throws at 66% today as a team on the season they're normally 73% first free throw good Pier Swiss that's three in a row for Dickinson who had opened one of four now with 13 points to go along with nine rebounds one board shy of a 15th double double he's currently 11th National League of double doubles got the pair to fall he'll come off the floor as Parker Brown re-enters for Kansas Hunter with Kansas's last five points five ass six from the free throw line so crucial time here with a interesting group on the flo Bill self sticking with that substitution pattern 4740 Kansas leading 1325 to play Robinson on the left wing feeds into trior backing down on Parker Brown and what's the call a whistle from out front and a hold is called on Parker Brown oh I didn't see that well he made the bucket so you'll take the foul but yeah I'm with you partner I didn't really see a foul there was a lot of back and fourth down there but I would imagine they'll go right back to that one 4 740 Kansas that's the fourth team foul on The Jayhawks compared to nine on BYU trior bully balls Brown and lays it up and in 4742 he's like a bulldozzer inside as he's 66 240 yeah not a big guy but man he plays bigger than [Music] 66 4742 Kansas Jackson out to Parker Brown top of the key hands off to McDow Jamari picks up his dribble on the elbow in trouble has to pass out to KJ eight to shoot KJ in the lane forces up a Miss rebound goes through his hands out of bounds off of BYU they say it was Saunders that touched it last the shot never hit the rim so there's only 3.5 on the shot clock and that's where with this group on the flo who takes the lead El Marco going to be the trigger man out underneath the basket Jackson plays it underneath the KJ forces one up that wildly misses on an air ball and then the shot clock expires as BYU is about to knock it out of bounds two wild misses for KJ just a five-point Kansas lead with 1236 to play well like we talked before the game how long will Bill self stay with this group if BYU to were to get a bucket does he give these guys their two or three minutes he'd like to get underneath the media timeout at 12 minutes here's a steal for KJ who took it right away from tror here Cubs Kansas the is over throw Jackson's intercepted Here Comes BYU Robinson a transition three Bullseye and it's a two-point KU lead BYU On The Run they are three for their last three and Bill self's going to have to pull El Marco Jackson had the right idea but poor execution that was an easy interception for the Cougars yeah Johnson was just playing free safety back there he was waiting for El Marco to try to throw the ball to Parker easy pickoff and then Robinson makes the big three on on the other end Bill self with a timeout probably coming back in with his main guys as it's a two-point game it's a 16 to6 BYU Ron Kansas had its biggest lead at 4129 but all cougars ever since the

part of that is the flurry of fouls that kept them from attempting field goals and they've been a a better job at the free throw line of late now up to 71% but a 7 minute 3se second field goal drown is not a way to protect the lead and consequently a 12-point edge is cut to two yeah and against a team that can really shoot the three like we said they're never out of it and right now they're it's a one possession game they've hit their last couple of Threes started out 0 of five this second half so see what Kansas and Bill self draw up here more than likely it's something down to Hunter Dickinson and Mark Pope in the BYU stat scouted this very well and they're not allowing that over the top so Kansas has to look for option b and option C BYU typically forces 12 turnovers a game Kansas has already turned it over 10 times with still 12 minutes to play and keep in mind they had just one turnover in the game's first 12 [Music] minutes here's a lob toward Hunter deep catch on the left block misses on the jump hook though he knew it when he released that it was short Waterman with the rebound Here Comes the Cougars with a chance to tie or take the lead Robinson transition three misses short rebound tipped about it's on the deck Timberlake's got it and a foul over the back on Saunders that'll be there 10th how about the Hustle by Nick Timberlake yeah that's a 50/50 ball right there and if he doesn't go to the ground Kansas doesn't get that possession Nick Timberlake will have two free throws when we come out of this break so a break there is Robinson who had just hit a three missed it nice job by Nick Timberlake on the long rebound Robinson has half of BYU's three-point makes tonight he is four of eight you would ill aord or want to be in a two-point lead scenario in the game with Robinson having the ball in his hands that could be a recipe for upset Kansas needs some breathing room and we return it's a new season at Kohl's with everyday Styles at great prices

Brown of the Denver Nuggets and you're listening to Kansas basketball on the jhawk sports network from field world champion Christian Brown of the Denver Nuggets welcome back live tonight inside Allen Fieldhouse it's a 4745 Kansas lead 1140 to play J Hawks with free throws coming out of the timeout for Nick Timberlake who already tonight has hit a pair he's 0 for four from the field but two for two from the free throw line Timberlake coming off season High 13 points on Saturday a number he's hit with regularity and another visit to the the ESPN top 10 yes with that alleyoop took the contact threw it down we're going to officially lose the sneaky of sneaky athleticism it is no longer sneaky it is athletic I don't know why we ever really started saying that first free throw here for Nick is good front iron backboard and through he scored 13 points on four occasions including twice in in his last three games he just can't get over that hump that's his KU season high four times over hits both free throws here to extend the lead to four with 1140 to go and that no field goal streaks continuing creeping up on 8 minutes but what is it seven of our last eight from the free throw line tough tough card here for Jamari now he gets matched up with Tori he goes right around him hooks a pass in the corner Waterman for three B eye and BYU has cut it to one with 1115 remaining and that's what they do they post up they get the mismatch and you think everybody goes down to double and that leaves the shooter open in the corner Harris at the top gets a screen from Hunter puts up a floater he connects Dean Harris extends the lead to three with 11 minutes to play well this float game has gotten so much better throughout the year and he struggled with that early on but man he's back to the old danan 5148 Kansas Robinson driving on Dickinson Fades fires missed it short rebound Hunter there's that 15th double double for Hunter Dickinson top 10 nationally now they're going to get Waterman with his fourth foul on a little nickel dier as we give credit to Bill rapt just kind of body blowed Hunter Dickinson as he ran down the court and that's four on Waterman who just made their last three I was on BYU's pregame and Greg rubel was asking me about why Kansas is so good at home and I talked about the fans and the building and Bill self's coaching and I said and you'll find out as you work your way around the conference and make friends with the other announcers that the rest of the league thinks we get every call at home probably right now he's thinking about that as that's the 11th whistle of the second half against BYU and we haven't even reached the 10-minute Mark free throw by Dickinson misses many of which have been Justified but I agree with you that last one was awfully Ticky tack yeah it really was had nothing to do with the play he was just running down the floor and now Mark Pop's going to go back with the two guys that have four fouls Nell and Hall second free throw hter missed them both oh my got to get better at that now six of 11 is Dickinson the 11 free throws attempted is awesome that's season High type totals but you got to do better than six of 11 on the m three-point KU Edge Hall with the ball playing with four fouls they've got two cougars on the floor with four fouls each he flings in the corner three-pointer by Johnson misses strong rebound toan Harris KU dodged a bullet right there well every time they shoot a three I think it's safe to say we dodg the bullet KU still trying for some separation Timberlake steps through floer misses rebound Dickinson right back up and misses and there's an injured cougar it's John Johson that's down Hunter missed a bunny from Point Blank Range it goes out of bounds and it's BYU ball with 955 to play you know Nick probably got fouled on that drive he took a lot of contact knocked him offline and Hunter backto back possessions where he could have cleaned up with four points keeps that Kansas lead at just three at the 955 Mark he's had a really good game of 14 and 11 but it could easily be 20 and 11 right now with some of the his free throws and close range misses as well 945 to play 5148 Kansas BYU weaving around the perimeter Nell guarded by Dickinson out front kicks back the hall shot clock showing 10 Nell splits two Defenders lay up misses rebounds Johnny Fury who pulled it away from hunt well conter missed an easy one and Nell just missed an even easier one three-point KU Edge inside Dickinson on a double team and he's fouled on the catch and Robinson says are you kidding me BYU starting to show some body language all these fouls piling up 12 whistles against the visitors at now the 924 Mark of the second half Hunters got to hit these free throws we referenced in the mid 80s in noncon play he's now down to 64% in conference play and this one misses again and you hate to Bone the point but this will get you beat in March after this game with two goals in McCarthy Hall you hope some of these guys are shooting free throws later tonight he misses the pair oh for his last four for Dickinson now six of 13 in the game on a season high of attempts yeah we're lucky that BYU hasn't capitalize they're couple empty possessions after Kansas goes up by three it is so mental right now with Dickinson on on his shooting form I'm not talking about hook shots or little tight around the rim stuff I'm talking about form shooting inside Khalifa rejected by Dickinson he atones for the free throws there rebound Kansas Here Come The Jayhawks Dickinson out to Harris three-point KU lead 845 to play Dickinson lobs into KJ deep catch hooks out to Fury for three no he missed it off the heel rebound BYU but they fumble it KJ Dives for it Kansas has got it it's a tie up it'll be BYU Ball but that is floor burn basketball at its best somewhere Jared H is raising a glass as KJ Dove twice to keep that ball alive yeah looked like Robinson was going to get it he fumbled it and KJ gets dirty Bill self's going to get Hunter Dickinson out of the game just to kind of reset him have a quick convo with him and kind of get his mind right it's not physical it's mental right now for the big fella missed a two-footer and then four free throws in a row the 13 free throws attempted surpasses the 11 he had versus Kentucky it's a season High problem is he was 10 of 11 versus Kentucky six of 13 tonight Robinson trying to get around Fury little Stop and Go reverse layup is good they've cut it to a one-point game with 815 to play and Robinson just brings some athleticism to a team that is more strategic in there there's a nice move that's be a foul on danan yeah just closed out on danan and he gets the line see if he can break this streak but the field goal numbers are still awful Kansas in a scoring drought of 3 minutes they are one for their last 12 from the floor and for the free throw line just 61% they've been blessed with 23 free throw attempts but they've hit only 14 they were in the double bonus quicker than you could say rock chock in this second half but another free throw miss this one by Harris who had been two for two rather one of two I should say he's now one of three here comes the next is that five consecutive missed free throws it is Harris is second pure swish 5250 Kansas 805 to play an ugly ugly game here tonight with the Hawks clinging to a two-point lead as 16,300 come to their feet imploring The Jayhawks to get a defensive stop trior inside muscle in on Parker and a charge is called Parker Brown gets down and dirty and his biggest play of the day comes on a drawn charge and a smart play by Parker Brown trior is a guy that likes to dip that shoulder may not been much of a foul but he dipped that shoulder and Parker sold it Mark P's arguing with Terry Oglesby but Terry Maxwell made that call got to be careful here 5250 Pope in his fifth season is 106 and 49 at he might might just teat him up yep there he goes there he goes I was waiting for it Mark Pope can't do that and he might get kicked out his assistants are holding it back he's got to be I mean the amount of Team fouls is now what is that where we at 14 this half called on BYU so Kansas will have the ball and have two free throws when we come back who do you pick to shoot the free throws I think you got to go with danan who's two for four today and that's well Nick Timberlake is four of four so I put Johnny Fury there oh that's a good point my bad you're exactly right Johnny Fury 5250 when we come back a 2o KU lead 750 to

I should have stuck with my initial guessan rattles one in rattles to him so a big swing right there looked like BYU could tie it up as T trior had position Parker Brown with an intelligent play to draw the charge the technical on pop so a two-point game that could have been a tie game turns into a four-point lead and the ball for Kansas and yet you don't feel great right now because Kansas has had the benefit of 14 whistles in the first 12 minutes of this second half and yet they only lead by four their halftime lead is actually shrunk time to hit some shots it made just three buckets all half Timberlake in the corner throws out toward Parker Brown tend to shoot for the J Hawks Harris alob to Parker deep catch big slam there's your play of the half two old school friends with a big time Rim finish yeah a little 40 run that time little fake screen by Parker he runs to the rim great delivery by Dean Harris the childhood buddies combin on the Alley blob 6o KU lead Robinson for three missed it rebound BYU they'll kick it out it was Hall on the offensive glass that time Hall driving around Fury bumped offline on a foul called on Kansas they get two free throw one of those long rebounds after the Robinson Miss Hall chased it down got it back and he'll go to the line for a couple but what a sequence of events Kansas with a six-point lead after the Parker Brown alley I mean Juan put it right there on the rim to where all he had to do was catch and drop it down Parker almost overran it right there's a made free throw by Hall to cut it to five Hall only shoots him at 59% this is a good free throw shooting team at 73 % but he would be considered the weak link and you rarely see that from a point guard a sub 60% free throw shooter he buries both of these though to cut it to four with 656 to play little 3/4 court pressure by BYU just to throw Kansas off a little bit Hawks have four starters on the court and brown in place of Dickinson it break the pressure lobbing over the top to KJ and now Dean will set up the play Harris dribbling on the tail feather of the J J Hawk at Center Court Kansas by four Harris head of the circle drives right side steps through running hook shot misses rebound BYU and then a reach in foul on Parker Brown a cheap one there will be the sixth on The Jayhawks Hunter Dickinson will quickly check in for Parker BYU will be in the bonus going forward well they dialed up a play where we've seen it thousand times where KJ sets the screen on danan and you try to get that little pocket pass to give KJ some room to roam BYU took that away and forced danan into a difficult shot not normally the angle he likes as he was parallel with the rim by the time he put it up right on the Baseline Robinson lobs inside tipped by Timberlake and then they say knocked out of bounds by Nick he almost had the deflection and the steel his defense has noticeably gotten better the last couple of weeks yeah he really got the deflection and man trior got his hand on the ball but Nick fumbled it out but a great job of being active now got to play D for the last 10 seconds Paul gets around Harris easy layup is good it's a two-point KU lead with 6 minutes to play you don't see that very often where Dean gets beat that bad off the dribble shows how important Hall is after being out with those four fouls he's got their last four points Harris out to Fury who's been quiet after seven quick ones to start the game he's just got 10 on the full night here's Harris off a screen floater on the way drilled toan Harris again when KU needs a bucket it's go to Dew yeah get that little dribble handoff n for three misses wildly rebound Nick Timberlake Hawks by4 With The Ball 5854 Here Comes Kansas Fury off a screen he puts up a floater misses it strong and the rebound to BYU's trior up the floor now transition three Bullseye they cut it to one just like that 510 to go it's 5857 Kansas and that three-point make is their 10th of the game their 19th contest of 10 plus threes Harris driving left side lobs back for Timberlake 455 to go Nick picks up his dribble had it knocked loose couldn't pick it up for fear of a double dribble and then they're going to put a foul on Kansas going for the loose ball Johnny Fury just gets ticketed for his fourth personal foul and BYU will have free throws for their first lead of the game yeah Nick Timberlake already used his dribble dropped it and he can pick it back up but I don't know how that's a foul on Johnny Fury he could pick it up if it was touched by BYU he wasn't sure if it was Bill self's going to ask Jeb like how is that on Johnny Fury that's going to be his third excuse me that's his fourth and Bill's asking can you go back and look at it BYU has never LED but if Hall hits the front end and the back end they'll have their first lead again he typically is a 59% free throw shooter this one is pure and we are tied KU blows a 12-point second half lead something that's happened in Manhattan and in Orlando you rarely see it here at home p is doing a nice job taking care of the ball but now has a 11 turnovers as BYU takes its first lead as Hall knocks him both down since he's checked back in he's been the jhawk killer Jayhawks have struggled mightily offensively here despite all the help they've gotten on so many whistles against BYU Here Comes Harris up under misses but tipped home by KJ Adams a heroic tap in for KJ Adams just a wild attempt by toan Harris and KJ cleans it up they're going to get a foul on Nick [Applause] Timberlake and all kinds of whistles it was on the floor Saunders kept going with it he's going to get a one and one yeah Gary Maxwell called it out of bounds he didn't hear the whistle but it was a foul on Nick Timber [Music] [Applause] Lake well it's going to be a one and one for Saunders who shoots him at 71% BYU is 11 of 13 compared to KU 17 of 27 and right now all those missed free throws by Kansas are looming large but this front end is missed he missed it side iron did Richie Saunders and the rebound to KU one-point jhawk lead 45 to go one of the worst halves offensively for Kansas all year but they're white knuckling this one to the Finish Line clinging to a one-point lead Fury out to KJ at the top a lob toward Hunter Skips a pass Fury for three he missed it rebound BYU halfway down and spun out the j-hawks are one of 11 from Beyond The Arc it was the right play the double team came and Hunter found the shooter across the court hall for the lead buried it and BYU goes up two with 340 to play does Bill self take a timeout here he he tried to get a yeah he's going to take one what has been a miserable offensive half for Kansas right now has the j-hawks down two after leading by a dozen just mere Moments 2 minutes into that first stretch of second half action and Hall's been the differ since he checked back in with those four fouls he sat on the bench for about 10 minutes and he's come in made all four of his free throws and a couple buckets to give BYU the lead Kevin mcculler all he can do is sit and watch he hopes somehow some way he could find a way to get back to action missing his fifth game in the last eight and right now his absence looms large 6260 BYU with its biggest lead 335 to go on the Equity Bank jhawk Sports network from learfield your husband is pretty handy to have

Landon Lucas and you're listening to Kansas basketball on the jhawk sports network from learfield the Kansas team that typically averages 77 a game has been held to 60 BYU averages 83 Hawks have held them to 62 but here's the problem Kansas in the second half is just six of 21 they are 13 of 20 from the free throw line this half they've had 23 throws and yet have not capitalized consequently BYU took a 12-point deficit and now leads by two they have hit 10 more threes than have The Jayhawks that's 30 extra points Beyond The Arc 11 makes for the Cougars one for Kansas yeah and right after that technical Kansas got that alley goes up 56 to 50 but a 12 to4 run by BYU after that and that's so many so often we see Kansas just break a team but BYU fought right back not intimidated at all Cougar's now up to 34% from three they pass ahead to KJ little floater misses strong rebound cougars and then a quick foul by KJ his third don't do that against a good free throw shooting team you just automatically give them two Charities on the other end and this just kind of feels like one of those odd nights where Kansas is missing bunnies they're missing free throws they've been in a funk this entire half and all the while BYU just kind of laying in the weeds is going to rise up and bite you as Waterman goes to the line now six of 22 from the field in the second half Waterman's an 83% foul shooter and he switches the first they can make this a four-point edge with 326 to go and you got a quick hitter you you got exactly what you wanted we've seen KJ make that hundreds of times but when you compound the Miss with a foul it's going to be a Miss there so only a three-point lead for BYU but what does Kansas go to when things aren't going well offensively usually it's Hunter rebound went to KJ his fourth 6360 BYU 315 to play fury picks up his dribble he's in trouble lobs to Dickinson on the left elbow now KJ finds Nick for the tie he buried it Nick Timberlake with a biggest three of his jhawk career has tied this game with three minutes to play finally the lid comes off for Nick Timberlake yeah that was penetration by KJ Adams Waterman does he have an answer yes right back in the face of Kansas Waterman throws it home from three 6663 cougars 238 to go Mark Pope was trying to get a timeout right after that three Here Comes Harris off a screen from KJ hits Hunter he'll try a three Bullseye Hunter Dickinson saved his biggest shot for the biggest moment and this game is tied at 66 all who needs free throws frees are worth more Hunter Dickinson with the equalizer now can Kansas get a stop he'd only hit three in the last six weeks but he drills that one now Robinson leans in on KJ wild shot misses but KJ hit with his fourth foul and Robinson their best free throw shooter will now get a pair with 204 to go yeah what Robinson definitely initiated the contact but KJ wasn't 100% vertical and he'd want that call on the other end so after the back-to- back threes by Kansas after shooting 10% for the game what Robinson makes the first Dickinson was three for his last 28 threes and he hits that one this building does some crazy things doesn't it one more coming for Robinson BYU by one and now a two-point BYU lead as he completes the pair 6866 204 to go now the difference in the game right now is a three-point line in the free throw line Harris brings it up the floor down two gets a screen in the high post from KJ throws back to KJ leans in partially blocked he missed it rebound Waterman cougars with the lead and the ball with 148 to play The Jayhawks meager Big 12 title hopes could be extinguished if the Cougars close them out here with 135 remaining yeah they got the switch they wanted Hall a step back three got it five-point cougar lead timeout Bill self no time out out BYU and give the Cougars a world of credit KU had the benefit of a good whistle for the first 12 minutes or so but they stayed within Striking Distance and they have pounced in the last 8 minutes going from down 12 to up five with 131 remaining and that's the switch they wanted they brought their big out got Hunter Dickinson on Hall he had to respect the drive and all Hall did was just step back and again he comes into this game after sitting out for 10 minutes and he's been perfect couple threes a layup four free throws difference in the ball game they had a season low six three-point makes in Manhattan they drive up the road to Lawrence and they hit 13 13 of 34 38% from three again they are 19 and two when they shoot better than 32% and it's seven of their last 10 they started out this half 0 of five so still plenty of time for Kansas but cannot afford any more empty possessions and they've gone to KJ twice in the last couple minutes he's been unsuccessful got to get something different on this look here by no means do you have to take threes KJ's been amongst the nation's leaders let alone the Big 12 at field goal percentage all season but just five of 13 today he was our player of the first half brilliant in the first but struggled mightily here in the second Kansas in a world of hurt with 90 seconds to play down five Here Comes Harris needs some urgency on this possession Harris passes right side Fury faked on a three gives it back to the WAN screen comes from Hunter little stop and go Harris tight ropes the Baseline out to Timberlake Nick drives hangs fires misses long rebound goes to the Cougars 108 to play the Cougars with the ball at a five-point lead and Bill self staring down the barrel at just his 18th loss ever here in the fog and that can't be what Kansas wanted on that possession a fade away leaning two-point attempt by Nick Timberlake Hall killing some clock out front and a quick foul by Hunter Dickinson they were able to take 22 seconds off the clock the good news is they fouled BYU's worst free throw shooter on the floor well he's made his last four and they used way too last used way too much time Bill self hits the scoreboard over here so frustrated that Hunter would foul right there there you get it down under 10 not at all when you needed a foul free throw misses from the 59% shooter Hall 7166 Hawks need some breaks and some incredible shots in the final 48.4 seconds and obviously need a quick hitter here three or two they just cannot afford another empty possession second free throw is good he rattled it in so it's still a two possession game so that changes things a little bit probably got to get one up here 7266 BYU Harris up the floor to Fury Johnny tried to drive cut off by Hall kicks out to Nick gets a hand off Nick for three missed it short rebound Harris out to Nick again launches misses long rebound KJ who's pushed no foul call haris at the top down to 28 seconds to play and a foul as Hunter Dickinson had it poked away not what KU wanted as now 20 some Seconds come off the clock got a couple of good looks you can't ask for more than that but did get two offensive rebounds now Hunter can cut this to four and it you have to foul right away but you got to make these free throws it was the fifth foul on Hall Who provided such a spark for BYU so many big shots to Surge them past Kansas cougars who are 0 and one all time in this building haven't played here since 197 71 are 26 seconds away from a stunner and Greg I don't know about you but if Kansas doesn't pull this out this one stings worse than Orlando Morgantown or Manhattan because Kansas as Hunter misses another free throw was gifted with the great whistle over the first 12 minutes of this half and just did not cash in they never lose at home but they've given this game away as he misses both rebound BYU and a quick foul by Harris Hunter Dickinson from the free throw line is now six of 15 the 15 are a career high the six for 40% is a career low and fans are filing out with 24 seconds remaining behind perhaps the most tough to swallow loss Kansas has had all season because the Jayhawks just don't perform this way typically at home and it wasn't for lack of chances they were playing short-handed without Kevin mcculler but man this is a team that shot 20 9 free throws tonight and yet they've only hit 17 well like I just said the difference in the game is the three-point line and the free throw line 13 of 34 for BYU from the three-point line and 16 of 21 now from the free throw line Kansas 12 misses now a three possession game trior hit a both 8-point BYU lead ku's going to lose and fall out of the Big 12 race and now be Jeopardy of having to play a day early in Kansas City the back door cut to Timberlake is broken up with a foul but this game is a mere formality at this point an eight-point deficit with 18 seconds remaining Timberlake will go to the free throw line and you had some life you know you had the three by Nick Timberlake to tie it up and they with the equalizer on the other end then Hunter Dickinson ties it up but after that just gotten nothing Nick Timberlake makes the free throw but like you said it's a formality at this point Hunter Dickinson six of 15 from the free throw line unbelievable stat by the number one player in Portal history in a first team all Big 12 selection more than likely but tonight despite his 15th double double all those points given away with missed free throws both free throws good by Timberlake who comes off 18 seconds remaining Kansas down six got to have a steal here Jamari mcdal hit the deck was a time out taken first yes timeout BYU give Mark Pope's team a ton of credit they could have been left for dead down 12 early in the second half they just kept hanging around and Kansas kept the door open by failing to convert free throws again they were in the double bonus quicker than we've ever seen and have arguably their worst free throw shooting line of the night of the Season here this evening with 31 attempts those last two makes get you above 60% but yep you got to hit 70 you're better and if you do you win this game well you know you can also look at the the field goal percentage numbers I mean you shoot 29% in the second half not a lot of that there weren't as many attempts cuz you were going to the free throw line but no efficiency on offense BYU did a great job of taking Hunter out of the paint you know he posted up but the couple times that he got buckets underneath was when they didn't send double teams or Kansas got him in transition and he sealed guys off early but in the half court set that wasn't there and when you're not making threes who's going to get Buckets for you that's usually dwan or KJ with Runners Kansas needs a steal and a quick three they get it in and a foul of Johnson by elarco Jackson he'll walk to the other end and shoot two free throws very rarely do you see a visiting team close the way BYU is closed 56 to 50 Kansas takes the lead after the Parker Brown alleyoop and then a what a 24-2 run by BYU and about to be built built on here as Waterman goes to the line excuse me Johnson goes to the line Spencer Johnson became a father on Thursday he's one of four married cougars on this team is the only father he's going to be able to take this game ball home to his baby boy son and say just four or five days into your life we log the biggest road win in the modern era of BYU basketball one of the biggest all time first free throw good second also good eight-point couger lead with 18 seconds to go Patrick Cassidy will come on for Kansas as Bill self waves the White Flag here Jayhawks about to hand coach self just his 18th loss in 21 Seasons here Johnny Fury a transition three is an air ball and that pretty much sums up the half for Kansas and the night for Kansas Bill self telling his guys not the foul BYU will get it in and dribble out the final 12.6 and as I said Greg this one stings worse than any of those Road losses because yeah no question it's as tough as of a look as we've seen Kansas have in a half all season oh no question yeah it's one that uh you go back and watch the film and and and you know it's I mean I don't know how else to say it it's inefficient offense and Miss free throws and it's all right there it'll be interesting to see see what coach has to say in my postgame interview but uh not going to be a happy locker room nor should it be Bost 10 seconds for station identification you're listening to jhawk [Music] basketball

swallow for Kansas here tonight is BYU who trailed by as many as 12 early in the second half comes all the way back to win by eight a historic win for the Cougars program who have just fallen out of the top 25 yesterday they're going to make a big jump back into the land of the ranked teams next week they win 76- 68 it's time to pick a player of the game and this feels like a Monday night a couple of weeks ago in lck when Bill self said don't even pick one he was so frustrated with that 29o loss in lck this one wasn't by nearly as much but it's a big deal when KU loses at home they've been 14 and0 at home heading into tonight but for just the 18th time in 21 years under self Kansas is on the wrong side of the final score and it's it's tough to pick a player of the game yeah it really is and let's not tell coach self that we did but I know we got to do it I think early on it would have been Johnny Fury but after starting out hot he really struggled four or 12 from the field Hunter Dickinson was a story of the night six or 15 from the free throw line so our player of the half was KJ Adams I guess we'll go with KJ Adams and second half I think he was what one of six in the most unenthusiastic endorsement by me for a player of the game so I apologize KJ four of seven in the first half one of six in the second but got to pick somebody it's a sponsored segment Club Car
