The KSU game

I didn't get to see the MU loss Monday, which I am glad of, because I know this team can win in tough environments, even despite their youth. And they did, somehow, against KSU. KU was greatly helped in this game by Pullen and Clemente being so hot in the first half. Admittedly, they almost shot us out of the game, and had KSU not pulled off the gas late in the first half, maybe the game would have been a different story, but the entire second half the whole KSU team was just standing around hoping that those two could create, which they couldn't because the triangle in two allowed easy help on those guys anywhere on the court. KSU needed more guys involved in the first half, and it was too late to get them involved in the second half after the flow had been established. The other difference was of course defense. KU is not getting steals this year, but they always make you shoot over the top, unless you get an offensive rebound. If you look at the highlights, KU probably had 10 dunks and KSU 3. This is a statistic I would like to see kept more often - easy buckets. KU always gets more than their opponents, so even when they are less athletic, they still find a way to win. Anybody think we can beat Oklahoma? Can we please get some help from someone in the South to stand up to the Sooners??? Rock Chalk! +m
