have been pled since 1907 and tonight is the 236th meeting and none of them have been friendly Larry as far as Kansas is concerned the sheriff is back in town Jack Juan well it's nice to have him back I know for Kansas he missed 10 games with the right wrist injury it's nice to have him back because they're getting ready to start Big 12 Conference play and the one thing you want to have is senior Guard Leadership and I think this guy may be the best in the country they have got some great salty folks inside as well Ma your concern tonight for K State and also their star inside AER yeah Gerald aer's got his hands full he's going up against two of the better players on the inside for Kansas obviously with Scott Pard and Rafe LEF frence he's got his hands full as does this whole K State Defense so it's Kansas and K State coming your way right after we pause for [Applause] [Music] this do you have what it takes to win the game I need an ace you already have all the aces yeah but I

a fun one as uh they come over the interstate number 70 head coach Roy Williams and his guys and of course as you look at the starters right there the forward number 45 the junior rafle friends he may be the most improved player in this conference in fact he may be the most improved player in America for that matter he is really a force inside and for the Home Folks Tom Asbury the head coach in his third year here coming over here from Pepperdine Schwarz and drooper gets a start at guard tonight he's had problems with the hamstring and Larry he's got to start shooting a little bit better because the cold shooting for K State has really been costly to them as of late well the two guys that have really hurt them Aaron Schwartz and Gro and also on the other end Manny D are the two guys are shooting under 35% when you got two guys in your starting line of shooting around that you've got problems and as Tom Asbury told us today we have really got to pick our shooting up against this club but then who doesn't against Kansas well that's true Tom Harrington the referee David marisic and Ali Prescott of the umpires inside knocked Away by akre it will stay with KU looks like Kansas state is going to open up Zone on this out of- bounds play Let's see if they stay in it I don't think they will because Asbury said they normally Zone their inbound plays as you see a great move by Pard inside taking it very strong to the hoop that's what I was talking about acre really has his hands full of par and fr in there schwarts and drooper goes inside to akre reverses the move and it's blocked by po acre one of the leading shot blockers in the Big 12 getting a little of his own medicine there here's back to B well it looks to me like the wrist is darn close to being 100% doesn't it to you that's about as pretty a three-point shot as I've seen all year wow look at his defense vau just to the complete basketball player great leadership inside taken away by vau on the floor gets the bounce pass over to Pard and the j-hawks will push it up again they'll get a new clock as it was kicked by Bay BR one of the things I like about Jo not only his leadership I mean he's got the ability look at this outside shot now you got to remember this is only his third game back having missed the first 10 but this Kansas team did not miss a beat while he was out of there Ryan Robertson which we will talk more about in the course of the evening just did a tremendous job replacing ja B and Kansas Stakes back in a two3 matchup Zone B for three and look inside and the friends rever cses it up he'll go to the line and it's AER who gets the foul this is a Kansas team that's averaging rebounding 44 rebounds a game to their opponent's 29 and they get a lot of offensive rebounds and this guy is the leader when it comes to the offensive glass look at ra Le frence go up pieres with him par on the other side this is a strong front Court off that back cour you see averaging just over eight rebounds at ball game he really attacks the glass that is one of the things that he has learned plus time in the waight room has made a difference with him you know often times when you got a club that is as good an offensive rebounding team as what we're seeing in Kansas they're vulnerable to the run out but they've got such quick guards that get back both H and Von they make it very difficult for you to come out and run on them full part pressure by Kansas a state pressured as they just get it across start to D back out on top and this time is matched up against tears as bom is on the wing right now look at that defense May pulls up he was fouled by Pierce Pierce thought he walked but he's going to go to the line for a couple first foul on KU on the First on Pierce well there was an interesting situation defensively there because C went out tried to make the steel missed it when he missed it Pierce goes over and helps his man who's getting ready to take the shot that's the type of Defense Roy Williams is teaching in Kansas you know Larry I think that the defense this league has gotten better and better uh particularly with a couple of coaching changes uh that have have come in like at Oklahoma and in Iowa State you always got it from Norm stor and his guys up at Missouri we get it here at K K State and also Kansas well the league has just gotten better and obviously it's gotten bigger well the folks out of Texas will really pressure you as well also out on the south plane to Texas Tech how about their win today Texas and Texas Tech both were big wins thing 7 to one one of the things that coach Asbury told us today is I worry about the runs is Pard going to go to the line for a couple he said you look up at the clock and you were asking him about this and he said all of a sudden it's an 18 to1 an 18-3 run yeah they just make serious runs at you look at this screen here by Pard just got there in time otherwise it's illegal but look at him flash to the ball catch it and go strong to the bask two good plays there offensively the screen and then the flash catch and run to the basket plus he's got the greatest chops in college basketball those suckers are all the way down to the jawline Shawn rhods is going to have to come in and Larry this is a a situation they did not want to have happen early as Aker picks up his second foul and we still have 1804 to play in this first half and they have to go with a much smaller lineup now obviously acre at 611 the transfer from Ohio State the biggest player on this Wildcat Club that's four points now for Pard early rhs who just came in the ball game a good shooter and actually had a very good game against KU last year in the big eight tournament came off the bench for 11 points and seven rebounds young pulls up from 15 to pass a little hard inside rhs retrieves it Schwarz and Grier just off the mark pierce with the crossover dribble and look who comes back with the rebound LEF France you see why he's averaging over eight a ball game look at the movement underneath good rebound by Young that time Mark Young best offensive player K State has they compared him to Blackman when he was signed here was the most outstanding recruit since then Look Away pass and it's Pierce Ron that was great communication that time tremendous communication Pierce and vau vaugh and midcourt turned and looked at Pierce Pierce put the one finger in the air said let her go and he did he stage got to be careful here just what we were talking about we've only played three minutes there you go May knocks it down the sophomore out of Lancaster Texas they call him Paco aumi is his first name but you're right that's what he wants to go by it's going to be travel go back and take a look see the right side now watch the hand it went up great catch by Pierce great toss by vaugh you think his timing's off forget it look up into the 18th row and deliver the [Applause] pass turn around young lost the handle Pierce comes up with it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jared has May with the push it'll be the first on him and the 1 foul on the cats quickly Off the Bench is Dax Jones a 7-footer junior transfer right down the road to Junction City Kansas Kansas 21 Nick 22 BJ Williams Bradford is in BJ Williams is in Tas uses a lot of players 10 of them averaging 10 or more minutes a game p State somewhat limited they only have 11 on the roster misses PJ Williams misses on the tap and I believe it's going to be Pard who picks up the foul his first second team foul of KU second team foul well around one of the things Kansas has done they have come out and really attacked Kansas State I mean right from the beginning they put four court pressure on them they've attacked the offensive glass but then they've had a lot of success here in brand for trooper and he misses the layup knocked out of bounds I thought Williams touched it last there's a Timeout on the floor we'll take it with him KU 113 we we had a chance to talk with him just how tough was it heavy to sit on the bench during the injury and watch it was tough uh I'll be lying if I said it was easy but at the same time it was a learning experience for me I think that at the same time I was continuing to get better as a uh as an athlete because I was able to analytically see things on the court that I I wouldn't have saw that if I was playing on the court at the same time lar I know that tonight you and I did the GW game over at lawren though he was so much a part of the team even in Street closed not just physically but mentally wasn't he well I you know the physical part of his play is pretty well documented but I think he is such a great leader maybe one of the finest I've ever seen in my covering college basketball and that's been a while tried to get it inside Bard got covered up quickly P of Stadium a straight man-to-man defense bradrick dished it off 6 seconds and down to five of the shot clock so H with a three-pointer won't go it's young who rebounds well Kansas gets back on defense so well dies fronts up to the hoop unlucky on the shot that thing ran ATT handed in and out we have now played 5 minutes 113 KU on top har really battling for position in there working against D D knocked it away nice pass what a great bounce pass has made that time to Pard Bradford will pick up the foul Nick The Freshman out of faithful Arkansas 66197 look at H look at this nice pass down inside realizing the dies that come over to help he knows the man has to be open Pard rolls makes himself available catches and scores that's the way you run the game well that is pretty ball great basketball Chris Griffin is in the game Larry number 13 transfer from Washington State actually looks more to pass and not to score is the book on [Applause] here young double team is the bouncer inside and he stepped on the line Schwarz and der but couldn't control it and as he went after the ball stepped on the end line to Tom Asbury anding guys we got three points in about 6 minutes that's not going to cut it Kansas defense has out been outstanding in their off def has been very patient it's pretty tough to be patient against the defense that just keeps coming at you keep coming at [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you TJ Q number 32 in the ball game sophomore out of Omaha [Applause] Nebraska a reset it shot clock is at [Applause] five b and a foul on BJ Williams inside that's four fouls on KU and the First on BJ one of the team captains Ron you see more and more of this in college basketball if you got an outstanding point guard and you're under 8 seconds on the shot clock put in the hands of the guy that can get do the most with it and that's jock vongh let him create he got his shot off but the foul was committed on the missed shot [Applause] [Music] offensive foul called in Schwarz and grouper F's called number 21 Aaron schwarzen grer his first first 14 first foul on him give you an idea of what kind of stats these clubs have got 86 points a game they're averaging 15 more than their opponents Kansas state level only five above their opponents Pierce in the LW pass he couldn't hang on to it and he knocked it out of bounds in the turnover so right now defensively K stage is holding their on but they got to get something on the offensive end but Ry the one thing Tom Asbury was talking about it to us today he say I got to have somebody can step up and do something and he says I haven't found that guy yet Ro against the France see right now they need a basket desperately somebody's got to step up there's RH mentioned that road had a good game against KU in the big eight tournament kind of earned the nickname of uh roads Warrior last year against both Colorado and Nebraska had great games on the road inside you see him go up and get the block and a foul is called on TJ Pew of KU all right backto back plays by somebody who stepped up Sean Road the offensive roll underneath look at the Block B roads inside good offensive play good defensive play maybe that'll get the wild cats motivated Tom long time at Pepperdine as we mentioned in his third season here at Manhattan that ball is stripped great quick Hands by Billy Thomas and he'd be the recipient well he couldn't score it but he gets it back to Paul Pierce nice pass inside BL again rhs rhs is really stepped [Applause] up foul before the shot that's going to be AJ vaugh and now KU is within one of putting K State in the bonus at 16 fouls Illinois the big win over Ohio state Alabama up on or Bandy up on Alabama number Max Jones L Krueger an okay State guy doing well over in Illinois you going have to call timeout that is a great job defensively as Josh Reed looked around and said hey I'm a freshman out of high school from Brewster Kansas and I didn't see Zone defenses on inbound pass like that well subscribe today to ESPN's full court basketball package you'll see over 500 men's college basketball games and it cost is only $79 for the season don't miss your favorite teams feature and call your local cable operator or Direct TV 236th meeting it all started back in 1907 you see KU Le at 147 to 88 well theyve won 13 straight here at this Coliseum and you can bet the folks from K State are well aware of it they don't like it very much around here got a full house that's what you expect when these two get together May too hard up the back iron but Billy Thomas but he almost lost it and got it [Applause] again vaugh with a spin move inside count the two well that's got to be pleasant news anytime you can see your point guard who's missed 10 games playing as well as he has he's got already look at that defense by [Applause] V roads against Lance tried to get it to the cutter then WS up putting up a shot would have missed the Pacific on that one and that's a long way away from here turnover against KU as Von and Pierce did not communicate properly timeout 15 to 5 KU just under 12 until half time Ryan Robertson checks in the ball game for KU you know jacqu vaugh talked to us about this young man and what the wonderful job he did while Jack was on the bench after I came back in the wash bur game I I pulled Ryan to the side and actually hugged him and told him that I appreciated what he had done the first 10 games and that uh the state of Kansas really didn't give him his his due because he had done a lot for this team with the scrutiny that he was under and he's a special person very special person now there you look at Ryan Robertson a sophomore out of St Charles Missouri he did a terrific job for this Kansas Club they went undefeated and stayed number [Music] one has to back it back out he tries to reset him tell you a funny story in a minute when he came out of the game that he relayed to somebody earlier it's it's a cute story Rose rhs has got four points Off the Bench Ryan's dad played football here at K [Applause] State good triple down that time not double but Trier pass for three too hard off the back iron but Pierce is right there back Jones and the friends had a pretty good collision and that's going to be on Robertson and that is 17 fouls on Kansas down underneath Kansas State starting to get on the backboard as Jones kind of nails ra lefrance lefrance tried to go back a second time and got smart P the chin away Mark Young Josh Reed ZX Jones in there doing some work seven-footer actually the biggest player on this club doesn't start for Kansas State but AB they going to need him tonight with AER on the bench with those fouls Aker if you just joined us got two very early and was on the bench 2 minutes into the ball game what R let me go tell you that story real quickly about it's a wonderful story about Ryan Robertson when they took him out of the game the other night when Dr Bond came in the Kansas crowd stood and gave joh Bond a standing ovation he told the guy later on he says boy are those fans great they gave me a standing ovation when I came out of the game after 6 minutes that's uh Larry that's that's like the old joke there's a pony in here somewhere that's total optimism has his shot partially blocked can't get the follow and I'll tell you this this baby is beginning to get physical just like you expect Kansas and K State to be it's 15 to8 Kansas got a little bit of a drought offensively Kansas State's picked up their defense and they're starting to rebound a lot better Pierce Way outside and he's well Off the Mark Jones comes down with the rebound now they score here now this place is going to really come up on their feet this is what K State needs to ship the momentum [Applause] hands is not going to make it easy on them good manto man defense overplay the passing Lane deny the ball into the post all easier said than done4 alignment by K State Four Guys low on the Baseline hak May drives the lane gets it he's got five may can handle has out front he's got good quickness puts it on the floor well see if Kanas State can still keep it up there nice move Pard missed it the foul will be on Dax Jones it's his first and the fifth team foul against K State foul number 34es look at this number at home against number one since 1988 knocked off Missouri and lost to uh get you and also to ow you at both pretty close ball games back last year these teams played three times and all were darn close yeah one was 10 one was by 11 and the other one was by six in the in the big eight tournament Roy Williams having a conversation right now with the officials I'm not sure what this is about and he's asked Tom Asbury to join the meeting well obviously we will we will uh get a translation on exactly what's happening but he went straight to the officials and also motion for Tom to come over I'm not sure what that was about because I didn't see anything going on obviously they involved several officials so it has to be something to involve the timer or [Music] [Applause] score oh I see what was here is it's a missed shot if the ball hits the rim and it did and they should have reset the shot clock and he says it was not [Applause] reset well gets a little smity in there too maybe a little posturing you think well it was time to posture that's the first point that his team has scored in a while or they haven't scored much in the last 5 minutes [Music] anyway H comes right back with that full court [Applause] pressure nice job by May to beat it very quick down the floor he lost it tried to Dish it off and the friende comes away with it four onone on the break and now akr's got three fouls and a really hard foul against Jared half did AER Griffin picked that up oh you're right it was Griffin oh we're going to get an intentional foul [Applause] here the official causing intentional foul on the other end of the floor look at the FR come up with this ball good kick out pass to Robertson across I'm not sure about that Ron I think maybe it's a hard foul but I'm not sure I would have called this an offal foul he got a lot of the ball first point for Jared H and it comes at the 919 Mark of this first half hash took a bad spill underneath there and it was a hard foul and it was definitely contact not sure I would have called it an intentional foul there though fact I think he hit the ball as well as his body I think you're right probably if anything Larry it's the way he came across his body R kind of Cho the only thing I could figure so they get the ball as well Kanas had led 15 to5 then K State came back in scored five unanswered points but now it's 19- 10 double down on the FL good kick out to [Applause] hat nice pass great [Music] pass here made a great move they had missed seven shots in a row from the field prior to that dunk here's handling the wing to the Baseline and a nice drop pass inside the [Applause] PO [Music] [Applause] guys this is B and he was fouled by H watch piled underneath now he's trying to get position he knows the double team's coming look at himself right there makes himself available Pierce gets him the ball and he knows they're going to double when they bring it down the Baseline like that and very wisely just takes a step back and he's ready to same as a give and go well the first thing you got to do you've got to realize if you're a postman and you see your guy make a move defensively to go pick up somebody get your hands up get your eyes open and get ready to catch him and po having a great first half [Applause] GW winning big today Road Island over day 21-2 10 points now for Pard May with seven those are the two leading scorers so far in our ball game piis not a very good selection there on the shot by Pierce good defense but hey State they got a chance to get back in this ball game if they can get a couple here Pierce has only got a couple of points I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a breather here shortly yep in fact here come three substitutions in the ball game Billy Thomas comes in V is back in the lineup and BJ Williams Pierce Le friend and pass will get a breather about to go under 8 minutes until halftime on the way Kansas plays they almost it's almost dictated that they have to play 10 guys you cannot play that style of play up and down with all that pressure with just six or seven people Roy waves is fortunate enough to be able to go down the 10 guys and lose very little when they reach down and grab those guys off the bench how many people could lose an all American Guard and still be undefeated shot clock is at five three on the way bomon hard off the front iron Schwarz and rer comes away with it Kansas State's done an awfully good job the last 8 minutes on defense they've really made Kansas suffer sparts and dble got poked in the eye so let's take a break 7:26 until halftime we'll take a timeout and back with more Kansas leads at 21 to 12 don't forget on Monday at ESPN it's the debut of big Monday starting in the Big East vovan freshman sensation Tim Thomas travel to take on a red hot Providence team then it's a big 12 clash as Reggie Freeman leads Texas into Kansas to face off against the j-hawks and their leader Jac BAU it's the big Monday triple header on the ESPN presented by Bud Light unlb and TCU coming up at midnight Texas Kansas set up well with a Texas win today and Kansas playing as well as they are Reggie had what 33 points a net ball game for Tom Pender's Group Kansas 6 of 22 so far from the field not their typical shooting shooting 51% for the year D has it blocked by Pard that's two blocks for him in the first half he's now got 35 for the [Music] year Billy Thomas hanging can't get it to go tries to follow and it'll come back with K State Schwartz and [Applause] trer Philly Thomas had six three-pointers in that game last week Pard with another block May continues to fight dies inside and he'll score what a battle by the wild cat two offensive rebounds and finally a stick back little charged up right now Tom Asbury up over on the sideline he's a little fired up as well always is his whole [Applause] team Thomas misses on the long range jumper it looks like BJ Williams will pick up his second foul nice block inside by par2 the watch the battle by K State they go right back again guys gets it goes back strong gets it into the bottom of the net that's good offensive rebounding good look at Pard no one's ever called him a conformist he's got 181 career blocked shots got a chance if they go all the way to the final four and keeps up this average maybe to be the number one shot blocker all time at [Applause] cany Five Points now for rhs Roy Williams looking very pensive on the bench over there hey anytime you play the biggest rival you got on your schedule it's going to be a war that's exactly we're not we're not talking about Marcus of Queensbury rules here I mean these folks are after each other when you talk about last year KU was Heavy favorite this just D picks up the foul and dies is first but last year's game's 1110 and six points his first person 16 Charlotte winning big against BMI Memphis finally getting a win against Detroit struggle out into rainbow classic Houston a winner by two line number 31 shooting1 Houston a new member of the Conference USA Basketball package Pard puts up the shot can't get it to go dies Skies what did they do to d man oh man is he getting up he really is he's working hard the thing is when you take it inside as you watch Road fouled by Pard you can't hesitate and be head faking take it strong to the hoop cuz these guys are going to be on you br let me tell you another thing when you're playing against Kansas if you beat their press and you've got a wide openen 12 or 14t shot I think you've got to take that shot when they come after you on defense if they double on you if not they're going to make you take a bad shot if you get an open shot take it two fouls on Scott Pard and the 10th team foul against KU and coming in for The Jayhawks is a has Robertson will go back to the bench I know that Tom Asbury preaches shot selection poison patience and I'm going to tell you what I think anytime you get an open shot against a club that plays the way Kansas does you've got to go ahead and do it you know the great thing about Robertson not only did he come and gained such unbelievable experience early on in the absence of vau but he can play the two guard which he did just a minute ago very very well he was a point in high school what's hurting Kansas right now is what's been hurting Kansas State all year they're just not shooting the ball very well they are one of their last 11 shots Larry that's not shooting well nice pass inside that's where they ought to go fourpoint game and dies picks up the foul two on him one of the things that Kansas has really greatly reduced is the number of three-point attempts that they've had from last year theyve decided they wanted to go inside much like this pass went from Bon to Pard Roy Williams has really said we want to go more to the inside get the ball to the FR get it to Pard get it to pierce higher percentage shots and that's why they're shooting 51% this year Scott par Scott Pard at the line has a 1969 Cadillac convertible to the name Marvin after Marvin the Martian you know he proposed to his girlfriend on the The Midnight Madness night and I heard he was in costume too oh boy painted fingernails and and lips a glow and he and and Jac Baugh are roommates it kind of seems like The Odd Couple doesn't it Jack Lemon and Jack lugman that's a pair yeah rrific saved it roads dishes too hard to Young and going to call him for an offensive foul yeah that's a Von was there to take the charge yeah Von Von did a terrific job of taking that foul every time he goes down there's a little bit of a shutter over on that bench well he took one the other night and he said I was a little apprehensive but I was glad when it was over and it let me know that you know I am 100% again or darn close to it there's something else too in looking at him last year I think he has filled out a little more this year I think his shoulders and his arms are a bit little bit larger we'll see right here as he takes the blow and goes down for Kansas state is number four Manny D for sha Rose L is Ja shooting one [Applause] one B swishes it that's six points for him here in the first half the Difference Maker as far as K State is concerned in this ball game is roads coming off the bench seven points great hustle and I think Larry he's the one to helped turn this thing around for them well he has and the rest of the guys have kind of picked up the slack good steal by Pierce B unlucky on the [Music] shot job was to try to do a little selling right there it didn't work Tom Harry say no no no and so Jacques smiled at Tom and went running on down the floor to pick up [Applause] Griffin about to go under five minutes in this first half 25 17 as it's knocked out of bounds by [Applause] H I tell you what I don't know of a play that I have seen this year where I've watched Gerald H not go full full charge 100% every minute every second you know they started the stat at KU floor burns because of him but it's because he spends so much time there just whatever it takes good defensive work that time by him on the Baseline B drives the middle has wide [Music] open I don't need to tell you that was not a call that was agreed with here here by the Kate faithful watch has this is his third three-point attempt that goes a ride Well he kind of felt like Tom Asbury felt like he had got in behind him Griffith gets called for the foul though and that's two on Griffith both teams now have committed 10 team fouls state is number 12 for Chris 23% of 26 tonight on the season K State is or Kansas I should say averaging 51% Kansas State hasn't been able to make up any ground run in the last 8 minutes simply because of Kansas defense they just won't let them get any closer they're up by [Applause] nine I'll tell you they have been unlucky on about four or five shots Point Blank Range either ratted in and out or like that one right there just missed [Applause] Jones back to May and he will take it in for the easy two and he missed that boy lot of missed opportunities schwartzon drier picks up the foul K State is shooting 26% here's an interesting number as you look at the replay well what may go strong to the B look at vau all the way from the other side and he really kind of threw May off just a little bit enough to cause him to miss the shot now watch Von the other little crossover dribble dribble no way schwarzen drible can keep up with that the foul as he reaches out and pushes swartson D's got to go to the bench now I think that was his third foul two two foul yeah you know an interesting number defensively on this group of seniors this class with ja B after 3 years and now as far as they are into this season in a 112 games K State or Kansas has only allowed five opponents to shoot over 50% 112 games that's incredible that is absolutely incredible but you you know what it tells me it's a club that takes a great deal of pride in their defense I mean they work hard at it a lot of teams like to do it when you take pride in it and guys go out there with a lot of motivation to play it sure makes it tough on the other club 4:15 it's a halftime Robertson against may as May goes down the bouncer underneath and here's AER first two points of the game for Acer came almost 16 minutes into the half two desperation passes that time the last one by Mark Young eight-point ball game R Le nice move to the baset nobody there from Kansas State to help the friendch now with [Music] Four's pass with another floor bur at a three-point young the first three for him the mark gun burn them back to a seven-point ball game the largest lead was 10 by KU and they get another defensive stop two-pointer he was inside the [Applause] line nice pass and he lost it oh you had an easy layup out on the floor timeout 3:5 until halftime and they're standing and cheering here in Manhattan it is back to a seven-point game led by as many as 10 K State has cut it back to seven [Applause] you know usually you think of Kansas with a stronger bench coming into a game with Kans state but it's a wildcast tonight that are having a success well Billy Thomas normally has got a hot hand roads with seven really fine shooter BJ Williams neither of them well obviously nobody has scored off the bench at TJ Pew missed that layup earlier Kansas with a three guard lineup in there right now young with the turnar around he got it go Robertson and may got tied up underneath and it's stolen young will take it the [Music] distance they're Ling it seven points for young now Kanas need something positive here State making a serious run I'll tell you what anytime you've got a senior guard that can play like Jack Von does it'll take he'll take over a game they needed something to happen right there and jock Bond did something positive he made him come after him that's three fouls on Griffith so he's going to have to go to the bench Schwarz and will come back in got his contact taken care of Schwarz and dver had been out messed up that hamstring against uh Michigan State he's been bothered by that as you look at the free throw shooting tonight Kansas 14 of 17 Roy Williams decides to stay with a smaller lineup he replaced Pard that time with LEF fren course PJ Williams on the other side in that three guard line of Ryan Robertson he's got B in has into the guard positions returning for Kansas state number that's a little different look for the jwks you know it's interesting it it's not like K State has gotten a late wake up call offensively but it's almost they were a little intimidated from the beginning just tight and now all of a sudden they're playing looser the crowd's more into it and uh they've got this thing at a five-point margin Tom Hasbury has gone with a little bigger lineup forer can't get it to go dies did he touch it last no knocked out by KU coming up at the halftime the Delta faucet Halftime Report with Carl ravit wake in North Carolina big upset in the Big 10 at Stanford and Arizona and a jump ball is going to be called as Robertson with a good job of hustle Bo I don't know a team anywhere in America that does a better job of defending the out of bounds than does Kansas here comes the double team out front [Applause] may had the open shot and it was partially blocked I think the frch got just a little bit of it but Jones steals it back he had D wide open underneath and didn't [Applause] see minute and a half to play until halftime count it all of a sudden Mark Young is hot he's got nine I I think the student B has been sitting the whole game no they they've been standing the whole time young has made K State's last four field goals as lefrance drives the middle and from Point Blank Range knocks it down just nothing that Manny D can do about that well daer Jones need the one can keep up on the prin he's just too quick to the B [Applause] [Music] nice help by [Applause] Williams May wavs off the screen he's going to take him one-on-one Ryan Robertson 6 seconds on the shot clock and Robertson or BJ Williams I believe they're pointing at him and that's going to be three fouls on bjjs third person you get down to the final eight seconds put the ball in the hands of the guy they'll get it done for you oh you know what I thought maybe Robertson was the one that got him I did too but they called they called a foul on Williams his third DJ shaking his head same thing you did Larry I thought Ryan got [Applause] him seven points two of seven from the field tonight for May well I'm not sure it's poer Ed turn to the official and say it was my partner that did it [Applause] that's not good team stuffler no it's not ready Taco may had the best field goal percentage among freshman players the big eight last year pick up L where he left off shot clock is off game clock under 22 under 21 and [Applause] counted zone defense for Kansas State for matching up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they got it cleared for Jac Bon inside to the pran and he blows a layup from 2 feet away Mark Young signals for the crowd to stand and do they ever it's halftime can you 33 and K State 29 Carl rabbit we got a Manhattan 332 to score at a halftime and uh Larry I can't remember the last time that I saw a KU team shoot 26% and they just now got back out on the floor I think there's a little warmth emanating from that locker room a little heat yeah I'd say so let's take a look at the halftime statistics very quickly we'll show you the field goal percentage shooting only 27% for Kansas Kansas State not much better at 37% here's what's keeping Kansas in the game 16 of 19 from the free throw line that's the reason they have this four-point lead at halftime three point field goal you can see The Jayhawks very inefficient from Beyond The Arc tonight KU will open it up on offense here in the second half they jumped out to a 10-1 lead they led by as many as 15 to5 inside and this is just the way they started the ball game taking it inside the Pard and LEF friend and just like that we start also with acre getting a foul it's his third yeah Ron this is very reminiscent of the Cincinnati game when they really struggled in the first half did not shoot the ball well but turned it around in the second half and I think it was the fire and brimstone delivery of Halftime by Roy Williams that got that club turned around against Cincinnati I think maybe he may have delivered the same sermon just now I think you're exactly right Acer has to come out of the ball game he only played 6 minutes and 7 seconds in the first half because of foul problems and now he's on the bench after 10 seconds Hollard with a good first half 12 points four rebounds and three blocks acre only two points no rebounds no blocks and poer just missed the first two free throws the start the second half for [Music] Kansas that's hold yeah called for the foul his third I beg you Parton his second very important that somebody establish some sort of momentum to start this second half for the Kansas they they have really wrapped up the first half the things going their way Kanas needs to turn it around rhs his pass tipped by Pard and almost stolen by hats you know all this passing from east and west doesn't help you got to go north and south in your passing look underneath and find somebody because Kansas double team they force you to go wide with the ball I think the first look is down inside he PS up can't get it to go dice battles inside can't get the follow but once again Kansas State doing a nice job on that backboard guys was all over it he has a habit of bringing the ball down in losing it but this time when he puts it down there's nobody there to grab it kind of released it prematurely and that's the result didn't go in but he drew the foul from Pard he gets a couple so Scott with three personal fouls is guys misses the first free throw guys not a good free throw shooter only shooting 56% for the [Applause] year three-point game there's where they need to go holler they flash him in the middle he gets his own follow misses that and he'll get still another knocked Away by Schwarz and grber and the follow in the the score by beers the ball's on the floor I'll guarantee you there are a couple of j-hawks down there around it nice [Applause] pickup [Applause] Le B misses po has it taken away by Rose how about rose with a good strength power Move Young good turn out of control the costum Larry offensive foul yeah here first he had a chance to pull up and take a little 10-ft jump shot decided to take that one extra step and it cost him spin move into traffic not wise when you're playing a team that does as good a job in transition defense is Ku do you talked about the excellent performance in the first half of Shawn Rose it looks like he's going to pick up right where he left off Pearson side missed knocked away and it'll stay with Kansas [Applause] canas state in the matchup Zone let's see if they go back inside nice L and it didn't work v f too L must effect roads had done a nice job as that one is blocked right back over here to us by pass pass and vaugh is right down on the floor in front of us you could hear the noise as he hit the table right here in front of us watch has hustling back right side of your screen watch him come across and block this shot oh what a defensive play Jared has and then B came diving into our table trying to save the ball Di has it taken away not a not a good pass by Mark Young pass along the Baseline can't get it to go Here Comes P St Tom Asbury is up and saying guys slow it down we can't run with these folks that's exactly right well is he animated when he made that decision huh yeah he said we don't have this kind of numbers our rotation is a lot [Applause] smaller I think Von might have gotten a piece of that I think you're right because young didn't even draw Iron on it again it's one of those constant things Larry that you brought up in the first half they make you work on everything you do Pard he gets hammered that's Mark [Applause] Young obviously one of the messages that Kansas got was getting the ball back inside look at par maneuver here he turns got him on the hip nice pass inside and the foul two things there one is You' got to make the maneuver to get to the inside and once you get there you got to have confidence enough that the guards are going to deliver the pass they did Josh Reed comes into the lineup number 22 he's a a true freshman right out of high school Brewster K as I mentioned him back in the first half nice touch on the ball and as his teammates say he is not afraid to shoot even though he is a freshman and it probably comes from the fact that he's one of six kids got to make your own way now the shooting does not improve e clock Pard knocks it through and Scott now has 14 37- 30 Kan is in his zone defense now looks like a 131 matchup nice pass di hollered again boy you don't have time to stop and put it on the floor you got to take it up strong I think grien just picked up his fourth foul [Applause] yep he did so that's four on him he'll have to go to the bench Acres already sitting on the bench with three fouls look at Pard he actually jumped up over the top of another player CB mcrath kicked it out F got it go to the other end H with a Follow by Griffin and H will get a couple goes back to that point of made it you know dies again checked it for Air instead of just taking it straight up to the hoop 70% free throw shooting team it's the first Club I've seen this year that was above 70% and now they're struggling from the free throw line so akre comes back into the lineup playing with three fouls at the 1654 Mark 0 for seven for has tonight from the [Applause] field some nights those those things happen the stroke is just not there but what you don't get offensively from him you get defensively as the France comes away with a steel and Schwarz and GBA causes a turnover as the FR didn't see him from behind look at Bond swipe that ball away Ash almost has a steal blocked by par that's four blocks for him in the ball hand five I beg your pardon and R Le picks up the foul once again the turn to the inside par with his fifth block shot of the evening AER gets it back kicks it out says I want no more of Mr Po the line will be Shan RH Scot po one of his better games of the year on both ends of the floor [Applause] gets two of them 38 32 about to go under 16 to play in the ball game Kansas continues to look inside nice double down that [Applause] time almost stolen by Schwarz and groer vaugh misses on the layup Josh Reed and they're right the freshman's not afraid to put it up Anor wants it against [Applause] Pard good flont by Pard that time has to screen twice Schwartz and drooper for three he has struggled all night with this shot and gets the biggest one to get K stay within three his first points for him tonight Pard with the easy shot because AER went for the steel and went down on the floor Paul Pierce with a nice look inside once AER hit the deck he saw his man was wide open Pard roll to the basket yep 40 to 35 offense Tom Hasbury a little upset so SW and grber and about 13,000 other people 15 Timeout on the floor Timeout on the floor 15 and left in the ball game it is Ku by [Music] five which the charge was called and a technical has been assessed well the question is was Pard set and was he set before schwarzen grber got in the air if he was then the call is correct obviously Tom Asbury disagreed and it cos him it cost him a technical foul [Music] second half Kansas two of eight K State only one of eight in the second half this is exactly the way they started off the first part of the game and Kansas State continues to be overwhelming with the bench scoring 10 points and Kansas has yet to have a single player off of the bench score incredible so now the foul situation Griffin on the bench with four akre with three and Schwarz and grer also with three for K State Williams with three and pollen for three for the j-hawks seven-point ball game Kansas TJ PE with the lineup number 22 Pierce for three big buck that's huge he was cold in the first half and they need for him or somebody to step up he was one of seven in the first half now he's got eight points at a 10-point margin again for Kansas blocked by has well he has made two terrific defensive plays down on that end like I said even when he's not getting a done offensively defensively he still leaves such a mark doesn't he Larry well he makes things happen I mean he makes other guys better too good block no go tending PE with his first two points of the night AER charged with the goas that's the first bench points for KU tonight so 1410 in the second half now consider they get two on the technical foul Pierce is three right here and then a goal tending call Seven Points points and now Kansas with a 12-point lead Kansas State needs to [Applause] regroup May and Robertson way outside as that shot clock is about to go inside of 10 m trying to take Robertson one one they spread it out for him Robertson got a little piece of it and he's still scoring you know what I think Robertson might have gotten him on the elbow yeah I think think maybe you're right Larry back to 10-point game double figures for him on the follow BJ Williams first two for Williams now all of a sudden the bench is coming through for Kansas Kanas doing a nice job on the interior defense [Music] that's two big baskets for K State SW grer with that one there tells me that they haven't panicked when Kan just got after that 12-point lead they stayed with her nitting TJ Pew got it well that's a nice catch almost lost it he just reversed it good athleticism he's gained almost 25 lbs since last year a lot lot bigger and stronger than he was [Applause] off the mark on that one can't help but think that that hamstring is still bothering him Larry he didn't shoot that one very cleanly it's going to be [Music] [Applause] May 2wz oh Schwarz bet your part he's third and the seventh team foul no Schwarz and D that's his fourth cuz he got his third just a moment ago so now griin and Schwarz and with four fouls each Jared Kan starting to put a little daylight between they and the wild cats they continue to make these free throws and continue their good offensive game along with their defense could be on their way Bo Hass has really struggled from the free throw line what what's hass's work here and he is all over this floor I don't think there's a single square inch of the scor that he hasn't been on tonight either with his backside or his belly four people coming in for KU Pard Billy Thomas will check in ra Le France back in the ball game Pierce is there Robertson will stay and you like to be the opposing team and every time you look up you've been out there just laying it on the line and here comes a fresh set of legs about every five or six minutes a new wave it's like hockey it's an entire group comes over the [Applause] boards and they're all just as good as the ones who are leing are better that's going to be a foul on Pierce Schwarz and d and you can see him favoring that leg as though it that hamstring is really bothering him now second personal foul against Pierce scoreboard says three but our official stat gu says it's two here just picked up another foul on the Baseline move so now it's three they were just trying to catch up 12 minutes left in our ball game 523 another one for [Music] Pierce what is that three fouls and 30 seconds [Applause] now they are saying that that is his fifth foul we're double checking let's go back and take a look at this foul I know there's been three fouls in the last 30 seconds that was the last one I we just don't know if it's four or five right now but we'll tell you when we come back 5239 [Music] 10 5239 our score and Paul Pierce has four we were right the official stat man during the timeout the KU assistant coaches went over and said wait a minute he only had one at halftime he just picked up three but that counts that's four and they were correct he has three fouls and 19 seconds I knew it was fast that may be a conference record but it is in the Big 12 put that in your book hey by the way Jerry green head coach out in Oregon an Old Roy Williams assistant coach doing a great job out [Applause] there Radford for three oh that thing went all the way around and back out here comes May going to go up Tipp by Schwarz and D not there [Applause] well does he have a patent on that shot I'm tell you that little Baseline turn around left-handed jump shot from about 8 ft that is nice nice touch 5439 that's exactly where you want to get in the basketball just out on the side there [Applause] young couldn't get it and young very foolishly just ran over lefrance that's three on hand fou number five Mark Young his third personal eight team foul how about that pacific team you know some people we were talking last week during some of the bowl games and several people who had seen them those late night guys that stand and watch his games on the coach and one guy commented he said watch that pacific team they are a very very good basketball team it's always about this time of the year we start seeing those little teams that nobody has heard about start to prop up they're usually five or six of them out there Kanas continues to struggle the second half from the free throw line saw Nick Bradford had a shot of tipping that up was off The Mark with it 5439 it continues and about to go under 10 minutes left in the ball game Schwarz and D lost to his footing and a 2 second time out is called by K State 22 timeout well at 5:00 Eastern time tomorrow the Memphis women are bolting to the bio where they take on toan in a carage USA battle Memphis is last in the car's last season's car's champion and they look to forward Lan Johnson to take it to the hoop womena tomorrow on the deuce now Jack Bon has uh been awfully good for this Kansas Club 10 points three assists three turnovers in fact he had those 10 points at half time 24 minutes of play it's unusual for him to have three turnovers you know Roy told him it actually he wanted Jack to make up his mind but boy the last thing he wanted to do was rushing and it's something that they really have tried to guard against with dies takes it up strong inside scores with the left hand this is a 16 a six run now by KU with that last [Applause] hoop holler trying to work free inside nice switch by D Billy Thomas way outside he had six three-pointers in their last game against brown but he is not on target tonight re just re and the Freshman knocks down his first two Mr basketball in Kansas last year nice move Billy Thomas Josh Reed skies for the rebound well he can't find it from three-point range so far tonight Schwarz and Dy are they coming back ninepoint game and quickly jck on and hasser off the B [Applause] Schwarz and gr looks like he's ready for bed right now he looks like he is worn out he really does you know when you're playing with an injury like that it plus the tension of this rivalry it'll take it out of you 903 left in the game K State has cut it to nine play number number one Kansas tonight they face number one Kansas and it's a nine-point ball game Larry what do they have to do to stop the bleeding well right now may got to score some baskets he's not getting a done outside look at that inside play the and he walked with the basketball good play by Josh Reed Kansas right now had gotten out to a big lead and Kansas state has started to come back on one thing they don't want to do and Roy Williams knows this is get this crowd back in the game [Applause] exactly Kansas needs to continue to look inside look for Prince the bounce pass from H BJ Williams couldn't get to it Williams actually trying to back his Defender away and as he was pushing him away the ball was dropped in there and they just continued to go right on out of bounds 10 turnovers now Against The [Applause] Jayhawks 16 against K State in the game and akre almost made at [Applause] 17 re for thr I bet you party that man is back sea rhs seven in the first half and a big three [Applause] there foul on May is second how about that first hit by jarald has he saw May coming toward him and he went right to the floor with it terrific move by has but go back and look at this point there's rhs hitting a big one Bond went right by and trying to swat it the ball and he still got it to go in foul on May BJ Williams comes out Scott Pard will come back into the lineup May F May picks up his second and he's to come out of the ball game to get a breather Kansas State Larry's on a 90 [Applause] run pass with another Miss at the free throw line second half free throw shooting has really spelled Doom for Kansas so [Applause] far rhs is going to go to the line and it could be anyone of three people but it looks like 31 Scott Pard that's his for so the foul situation for Kansas now Pierce and Pard with four Williams with three good La pass the roads inside a little bit of a fake you see LEF FR and Par there to try to stop him and it could have been either one of them yeah [Applause] you know what we talked about the first half Tom Asbury trying to find somebody who's going to step up this is the guy that has stepped up tonight for Kansas State you know what they did change it to the friend and it sure looked like it didn't it it did so inside Jared H with a great Baseline move so Pard still with only three fouls [Music] pass now over the 1,000 point mark in K as Road hits again it's only two he got a foot on the [Applause] line AER blocked on The Fringe can't get the follow it's on the floor and it's going to stay with KU sha rhods has been down this road before watching catch nice little push off on the France got him free got the bottom of the net here's the block AER from the backside Ball's out of bounds has is laying down there actually it was off of Reed who was laying on the floor pass with 1,1 points the 34th player in KU history to join that 1 th000 point mark As Robertson hustles for the rebound fou call number 45 Gerald aner his fourth aner with his fourth side well this is the type of foul you don't want to make in this situation loose ball down there you can see the battle going on Robertson comes up with it and then AER just jumps on his back he did he just ran over him C by the way now joins Scott Po and ra lefrance and actually soon to be 1,000 Point member Jac [Applause] B Ryan Robson they've had a few thousand Point scores in the history of that program 34 they sure have [Applause] 34 there and you've also got to consider pass has done it he had one year at Cal so he hasn't been at KU for the entire time well Kansas still struggling with a strike there's one Robertson with his first point of the night 5751 6 and 1/2 minutes left in this one and I think Roy Williams is thinking I don't want Tom asbury's Club any closer than they are right now Acer blocked by Pard Schwarz and D gets it back [Applause] there are no easy passes to be made against this Kansas defense nice got it that was under 35 has his third person go back and watchs the play by D he knows PD's coming he goes to the other side gets it up away from H and Pard Buck it chance for a three-point play nice laot pass over Pard and has came across hit him across the forehead he has three fouls now that's 18 fouls on [Applause] [Music] KU K Dave had an opportunity to get it back and you can see Mark Young upset with himself but just went right through his hands four-point game and just what Larry said K you didn't want to happen the crowd is back in it Kansas wants to go inside they want Pard they got it blocked by AER pass in the follow not there and a foul on BJ Williams I believe number look at dies on defense on the back side holl's got a wide open shot and AER comes all the way across the lane great defensive help look at this AER with a good rejection now at the free throw line in the second half K State is four of eight Kansas by the way is seven of 14 [Applause] KU 57 K State 55 5 1/2 minutes left great Hustle by Young it'll stay with the Jayhawks though well if you're Mark Young and you got that kind of leaving ability you can afford a play by behind and he does against Pierce but once the ball goes to the right side he hooks it away tell you watch that's a lot of confidence by that young man Mark Young to play defense behind Paul Pierce who is very strong with his back to the basket shot ball out front passes inside thigh almost took it away from Pard and acre with another block Pard and he was fouled if it's against AER he's gone if it's against dice number 45 Lakers watch again Pard spread out good job by dice to slap it away block again by AER look at Le FR and Pard that's walking when both guys on the same team are holding the basketball we had no whistle that's five fouls on acre he leaves with two points barely played over 6 minutes in the first half and Larry you can see that graphic he leaves with no rebounds in the ball game officially but I'm going tell you in the second half he was a defensive presence he really caused Kansas to readjust their shots he also had them thinking about where they were going to go if the ball came inside [Applause] what has happened to the free throw shooting of the j-hawks in this second half for the ball game they are 23 of 34 PD now with 17 [Applause] dis it to dice he's going to bring it back out they get a fresh 35 that was probably a pretty good idea he was staring down a double Gun Barrel The Prince and po were waiting on him there's the hot man roads right now for and grooper falling the away can't get it PO with a huge rebound for the [Applause] j-hawks Kansas State doing a much better job helping on defense this half made a tough one Kansas they're not making that extra pass LR from 17 not there rebound grabbed by D and a jump ball because out to the hustle of hands I tell you what many dies was celebrating too much he really was he had the rebound could have gotten the ball out once he got it he wanted to let everybody know he had it look at him get rid of the ball and what that does is give Kansas the next possession nice double team by Hassen Baugh foul by Pierce he's gone that'll do it for him Pierce leaves with eight points f caller number 34 Paul Pierce his fifth personal foul you know R and the fouls he made were were the types of fouls you wouldn't expect a player of his quality to make I mean this is not a foul that he really needs to make I mean that's just a reach in foul and he knows he's got four on him so Billy Thomas comes in Thomas tonight 0 of two from the field Aaron schwar rber shooting two got them both take a timeout 345 to play a one-point game from Manhattan Kansas Larry this is an 184 run by Kansas State it interestingly it was after KU had their largest lead of 5439 you think that old bramley's Jinx is over well they're sure trying for it and the frch who do you go to can't get it po is on the tip and here comes K State as young grabs down the rebound I tell you something Kansas state has done awfully well in the second half as rebound they have not allowed Kansas to get on that back for young blocked by Pard six blocks tonight for Scott [Applause] poen Billy Thomas has took one dbel too many had him open on the wing wanted to get him the really open shot well the last win is that highlight you saw just a moment ago the flashback and KU was number one at that time that was 1994 in January at Lawrence and that was blocked by the friend two good defensive plays in a row by Kansas one by Pard and one by Le France look to the inside Thomas for three look at l oh big great lece put an asterisk by that one at the 224 Mark in the second half in rebounds KU 20 kstate 19 that one was a big one though for Kansas Turn Around by roach not there par grabs it off lran now 10 points and 11 rebounds as dice on the steal and he score what a great steal by Mark Young Scott parer did not see cver at his beckoning call 60 to 59 you see the clock we under 2 [Applause] minutes LEF fr's unlucky and again Mark Young to from back R grabs off the rebound and this crowd is absolutely at a frenzy so are Le Kansas State remember has never LED in this basketball game they Trail by one right now and the roof may come off if they take the lead roads is open Jon gets the car May the legs right there 2 22 timeout called by [Music] KU watch Pard here that's a terrific play smart heads up play by Mark Young he drops it inside mny d goes straight up Pard avoids his foul po knew he made a bad pass as soon as he let it go Sports Center coming up immediately following our game the NFL playoffs and another shocker today Carolina against number two wake and those streaking Flyers that and more coming up on Sports Center with Gary Miller and Linda Cohen you think Gary and Linder are watching this one I know they are praying that we don't go into overtime they're both shaking their heads right now here we go final minute and 5 Seconds KU got the play in let's see if they can get it to work pass picked up the dribble now back out to Billy Thomas they want PD or they want l r pass with a hand in his face not a good shot drier comes away with it that was a very poor selection was Kansas State it's a b timeout we'll take it with a 40 seconds left and a one-point [Applause] game well here's the situation you see the clock running down a one-point game 60 to 59 rhs will retrieve it dice oh he had Mark Young open road tip ins side won't go and KU has the basketball as BJ Williams comes away with it and a foul against K State the way they've been shooting free throws in the second half that might not be all bad yeah Kansas state had a couple of opportunities there let's go back and take a look D gets to the roads who's been the hot man for Beyond The Arc shoot adjusted a little long good tip Williams comes down with a rebound and there's the foul line by the way ja Baugh and looking back of the numbers don't forget Sports Center coming up next Jack vaugh has been shut out in the second half he has not scored big free throws here obviously for BJ Williams who's pretty consistent oh that was bad he never even Drew iron not even close Tom Asbury you can see him telling his folks on the floor called a 20 at the end of this and he missed them both but the tip back out and vaugh will get it under 15 seconds to play and the foul now against K State Maron how many times do you see it guy jumps in there quickly and gets that rebound he doesn't have the inside position on a free throw that was a costly rebound from Kansas State and an excellent play by Kansas and Asbury looks on helplessly knowing that KU was going to either get the ball back or go to the free throw line after the foul by Mark Young who is fouled out of the game young with 11 points they're waiting for a replacement right now they were getting ready to shoot the free throw and Kansas state only had four players out [Music] there Josh Reed will come in KU is eight of 18 shooting free throws in the second half sh two well I said he hadn't scored in the second half until now and can you think of anybody you'd rather have at the line as far as handling pressure and this is what senior leadership is all about blitzed them both nothing but cor timeout Kansas so Kansas calls a timeout with 133 1/2 seconds left left at our ball game and their lead is back to three we'll be right 259 with 13 and 1/2 seconds left and Jac BAU steps to the line as you look at the the timeouts remaining in the ball game and lar as we said you couldn't think of anybody you'd rather have in that situation at the free throw line all right let's talk about the final 13 and 1/2 seconds we've got here Kansas State needs a three-point field goal where do you look Shawn Rose has been the hot three-point shooter for them tonight Schwarz and Dro has to be the other consideration those are the only two guys that can go outside and shoot that three ku's going to pick him up full court not let him Breeze it down they'll give him some resistance Griffin swarz and drer for three didn't touch anything oh now here's the question KU is called a timeout K State trying to say it did touch iron but it didn't full timeout canas it is a full timeout look at it on the replay well Schwarz and gr tried to get rid of this ball before Barn got to him you can see the launch look like it didn't hit anything like it went went straight underneath let's get it from underneath a little better angle no I don't think it got anything Sports Center coming up next immediately following this one and we have 4.9 seconds left Gary M and Linda Kong standing by right right now in this situation and thank you for the promo right there letting everybody know around the country by putting the sign up you know we don't need to say that anymore they've got all the signs for us these kids you know the the pep bands play the uh the sports center music they hold up the [Music] signs couple of the things they'll be talking about tonight other than uh than college basketball huge win for dick finnett and that was joh team over Indiana today also the NFL playoffs a shocker in the mile high city today who would have ever thought hey and they were huge underdogs nobody gave them a [Applause] [Music] chance here's a look at that cansas huddle and there's the man right now who's putting that who's putting Kansas ahead 32 minutes of play tonight 12 points three assists three turnovers right now if your cans as you go for the long one I would run out right now hard out there goes Robertson but he gets it away to H May fouls in FS on number 12 p b third personal [Applause] line is Jared M shooting two six of nine tonight at the free throw line those misses have come into second half just amazing to me a man has been so consistent from the free throw line at 76% and for some reason that basket's going to lit on it for him tonight from the charity SC they
