1 Oklahoma @ 2 Kansas

We can only hope UK gets this whistle. This is RARE people!

Lol at the T on Self

 

[MdWIldcat55]

One way to judge the quality of a basketball game is the average amount of open space on shots. The gap between shooter and defender in this game is very often quite generous.

 

[bucsrule8872]

I was wondering if either team would ever guard the 3 point line?

These teams are making our Cats look like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens on defense.

 

[TIE543]

I hope self doesn't lose his toupee

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Looks like Self gained weight in his head without getting his hairpiece adjusted.

 

[catfaninsc]

OK hitting the 3 ball now. Kansas has not shown that they can handle guards with speed yet.

 

[UKDC80]

Funny as hell, but Self had every right

 

[JerseyCat84]

kansas has too many whites dudes on the bench. Yeah that might not be "PC" but I'm not seeing the likes of witcha state, Stanford, Utah, byu, or duke certain years cutting down the nets. It will be the demise of Kansas this yr lol you watch. Bill self has an unfair advantage with never having to get his hair cut that can be a distraction

So key to success= More black dudes on the bench?

 

[WildcatDJ]

12-0 run to close the half...44-40 OU.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Gotta admit, I had already given up on OU. They battled back.

 

[jedwar]

Self wasn't only gnashing his teeth, he was gnashing his gums.

Wow at the Ok comeback.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

John Higgins was calming Self down. He will earn his thirty pieces of silver in the 2nd half.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Meh. Slow, stop, or contest every kickout for a perimeter shot against Kansas and they're very beatable. They're a one trick pony. UNC on the other hand, is not the team we want any part of. ie: 2 quality bigs.

 

[JerseyCat84]

That was a BS call on Mason. Even I will admit.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Funny as hell, but Self had every right

Make up call for the missed interference.

 

[PenetrateAndScore]

Kansas is loaded with very good players, but there's not a kid on their roster who looks or plays the part of a true leader for a title team. Collectively, maybe they put it together and win the whole thing like Louisville did in 2013 or Duke in 2010 (good teams without the prototypical transcendent player).

That said...

Imagine Wayne Selden at a political debate, comparing himself to Kemba Walker (in order to create a narrative of why he's capable of leading his team to a title).

Brandon Knight, his counterpart, responds (ala Senator Bentsen to Dan Quayle in 1988):

"Wayne, I played Kemba Walker in the Final Four. I knew Kemba Walker. Kemba Walker was a friend of mine. Wayne, you're no Kemba Walker."

What the hell are you talking about.

 

[JFCats22]

KU was rolling and then Oklahoma went on a total tear. Last 5:00 they have looked unstoppable.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

1. We won't.
2. This won't last. Watch the 2nd half magic for KU.

 

[JFCats22]

Also, Buddy Hield is crazy good. Wow

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

Perry Ellis has been at Kansas sense the ancient days of Sparta

Since

 

[Tannerdad]

There is absolutely no substitute for good shooting.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Yeah I likely spoke too soon. Kind of like last year's Wisconsin vs Duke final.

 

[Icecoldbrewdoggy]

Kansas fans are so cheesy.

 

[The_Answer1313]

These two teams are really good

 

[KnowsAllTellsAll]

Checking in at half time and can't believe you all can't see the disparity in the way this game is being called 12 fouls against KU to only 5 for OU. They drive and the whistle. We drive and get mugged. If I were Self, I'd have thrown my chair on the floor a la Bobby Knight.

 

[Kybluedude]

Kansas fell victim to jacking up threes and for some reason taking Ellis out

 

[BoulderCat]

Didn't go as I expected. The Sooner's answered the call. Still there are few things in life that mean less than the score at halftime. If their on top at the end I'll be back to sing their praises, but I'm not expecting that. Still going with the KU by double digits.

That bad call got Self fired up. I expect he'll have his team loaded for bear the 2nd half.

Wahhhhhhh. Now you know what UK deals with every road game.

 

[Ugoff]

The interference was more blatant than that foul.

 

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Both of these teams can shoot the 3...must be nice.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Hmmm looks like it was an actual foul.

[KY Long Rifle]

Oklahoma got hot from outside towards the end of the half. They can't cool off if they want to win.

Your average whiny fan cries about the calls on the road. The real Crybaby Connoiseurs whine about calls at home.

 

[Stonewall12]

Hand is part of the ball

Ah, now you know how every team that plays you feels.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Hand is part of the ball

A forearm is not a hand.
