Tonight 2/23 at 8pm CST The last time, we roasted the hapless Jayhawks and knocked them off their lofty #3 in the nation perch. Expect another Horn victory, though the lopsided margin of the last match will be difficult to achieve. The thing about the Jayhawks, is that their scoring is spread out, with five players averaging double digit points. Ochai Agbaji (G) 13.7 ppg 3.6 reb David McCormack (F) 13.0 ppg 6.1 reb - 6'10" 265 lbs Jalen Wilson (F) 12.7 ppg 8.0 reb Christian Braun (G) 10.3 ppg 5.1 reb Marcus Garrett (G) 10.3 ppg 4.4 reb Kansas is on a win streak and bring a #17 national ranking into the Frank Erwin Center. The Jayhawks are coming off a win against Texas Tech, and have won 5 in a row. They capitalize on the many turnovers they force, so let's have none of this passing the ball to nowhere stuff that has recently plagued us. In addition to good shooting, we've got to play good D and dominate their big guys inside. Brown had a good game for us last time, and our guards shot lights out. Anything remotely close to a repeat on those front should have us posting the 'W'. Shoot well, play tough inside, minimize turnovers, and we win.

I am worried that this game could be a reversal of the first. Embarrassing KU at home was great, but since so much of college sports is about emotion, I think it will come back to bite us in the butt tonight.
In the highlights, it looked like Kansas has developed a strong inside game with McCormack. Sims will defend him.
That’s right announcer! Shaka “has more than answered” any job security questions. It’s good to have some smart announcers.
KU up by 12, Five min left in the 1st. Horns offense not working very hard for shots--tossing up threes which aren't dropping so far. Not good at all.
Looks like we're ahead in the turnover department. So sloppy. A frenetic approach to offense. Looks so bad when the threes aren't dropping.
Donovan Williams came in and hit the only 3. When we’re ice cold from the outside, gotta rotate in some guys like Williams, Hepa, and Febres to jump start our outside shooting.
Some. And plenty of driving and working it inside. Kai and Sims have come alive in the second half. And lots of good D. All those “3”s above was just my celebration of one three point shot.
Gotta hit some outside shots and penetrate and kick to bust this zone they’re throwing at us now. McCormack with four fouls now... Yeah! Sims for two and KU with the dreaded pass to nowhere.
Here we go........ Down to the wire. Strange ticky tack foul calls late. Rugby refs for most of the game. Go figure.
