What Fezzik?

I hope we win.

Worked for us last time, can't stop now.

Like many of you I'm sure, I'm trying to keep my emotions in check right now. I really, really want to win today. It's just time we got off the Big XII Tourney Championship shnide and I know losing to KU in the final game 3 years in row would just eat at me.

Then again, I'd gladly trade a conf. tourney title for a deep run in the Dance and a shot at the overall title.

Can't we have both...I hope so.

For those without cable but with AT&T DSL internet (or another cooperating high-speed provider), you can watch the game live on ESPN360.com.  You can also replay past games including yesteday's win over OU.

are killing clemson

I'm sitting in Washington-Reagan airport right now, with a 5:20 ET flight looming menacingly in front of me. I'm all but assured to miss the last bit of this game, as well as the entire selection show, which will surely make this upcoming flight the longest in the history of mankind.

Classy Jayhawk fans booing us as we come on the court.  Real nice...

Come on, Damion!

Hook 'em!

BIG XII CHAMPS!

god damn acc game refuses to end

Lots of blue in the crowd

Nice ticky-tack call on James.

as far as shooting

Barnes is NOT wearing a white shirt.

but missing the bunnies inside.  Any word on Johnson?  I'm assuming he won't play, but didn't see anything pregame due to the ACC game.

Kansas needs to get called for a foul.

This will be a long afternoon.

nice block!

is on fire!

Mason with good shooting, already 10 points in the first half.  We need to rotate a little better on D so Kansas doesn't keep getting these wide open 3 looks.

We have gotten a few nice turnovers and converted. AJ needs to hit a jumper.

the guy setting the pick is usually open (JAMES!!!) easy buckets....come on dj...

WEEE!

Connor takes that ogre off the dribble. Probably got bumped, too. Great shot.

Augustin!

again?

Great, great stretch of basketball from the 'Horns over the last 3-4 minutes. 24-21 good guys.

Kaun=ugliest human being alive

lost seventy lbs
i haven't heard that announced  yet today

god damn this has to stop!!!!

man defense is not good for texas...we might get into foul trouble in the second half

ku does not stay this hot from 3 for the rest of the game...

This game is frenetic. Both teams are firing on all cylinders.  Great basketball.

because going with man in the first half...we are just gonna rack up fouls...

georgia cannot win the SEC

effective the last game against UK. The way they are shooting you have to bet they will cool down.

we go to man...and rush misses!

losing mentality....#2 seed houston sounds tempting...but this team is built to play anyone!!!!

i think horns are playing a great defense...wow

in the house, greeted Rick on the way to the lockers.

Wow.  Excellent game.  Big XII rocks!  DAMION ROCKS THE MOST!!

HOOK 'EM!

There's my boy... What a half!!! He has what? like 12 points, block, steal... DJ with 18.. shhhhheeeezzzzzz I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

24-23 on ABC with under 12.

Horns lead 46-45. DJ is red hot from the field. Mason had his best offensive half of bball since the Tenn game.

Both teams shooting over 58% from the floor. This game is going to come down to the wire.  Even if we can get UK to come back to earth, it will be hard for us to maintain our shooting.

We need Connor to have a solid half and AJ to contribute offensivley.  Otherwise, just repeat the effort from the first half.

If I don't post a comment after the game, somebody call the paramedics...I am litteraly about to go through the roof. Can not believe we still have the lead after that 3pt onslought.

I guess Barnes stayed in zone to try to preserve our energy for the second half. Man I hope we have a repeat of the last two games...play it close in the first half and then unleash hell.

Little bit of trivia for ya...

"Did you know Bill Self was Ned Beatty's understudy in Deliverance?"

Did you know Sasha Kahn's middle name is Hussein?"

Let's go Horns!!!

nice block

is sasha's middle name seriously hussein??

needs to hit those shots

like Arthur had him around the neck!!

COLD

and refs need to call fouls on UK.

Finally!!! damn chalmers.. uggggggggghhhhh

Fuck Kansas.  They are such little bitches.

Horns are still in great position, but they have to take advantage of any more offensive rebounds. The refs have finally realized that UK is molesting us on every drive.

The 3 point onslaught continues.  Weather the storm.

 KU is Kansas

was fouled on two consecutive drives.

They can't miss from 3.

how did collins miss that. what a bitch.

It makes the refs hesistant to call some of the legit stuff on him.

AJ!!!!!

HELL YEAH!!!

That STF'ing crowd up.

about time he started heating it up!!! AJ

... Maybe I was right in my roundtable.  Until AJ woke up, we've been lucky to keep this close.  Plus, he's getting fouled on nearly every three attempt after the shot.  This will pay dividends.

UT up 67-64. AJ finding his stroke and Damion starting to take over the boards. Every time it looks like Kansas is going on a run we climb back into the game.

Our defense gets better and UK has their hands all over us. I think the fouls will start going our way. We may be in the best shape of any team in the country.

DJ is the man.

Best game of the year?

that sometimes you get beat
and have to let the bucket go
argh!

I hear Wabash!

were ALMOST as ugly as sasha

Its so refreshing to see two teams that always seem to play well against each other. I guess its because they are the top two basketball programs in the Big 12 and they dont try to junk things up and win ugly like Okie St and A&M.

How pro-KU this crowd is. They are obviously feeding off the crowd.

This is exactly why we need to be in Houston if we want to get to the Final Four.

Even if we lose today, I am proud of the team. To survive an onslaught of three after three after three.

We're like a cockroach who's getting smashed by a shoe but staying alive!

He is going to be the best PG in the draft. Top 5 pick at least.

Horns are still in it. Need to execute on the offensive end. Tough miss for AJ, but don't worry he'll get another look.

J Mason is having such a good game. We are only a Connor away from having a total game.

just handed them a possession.

And Chalmers is absolutely killing us. He is a Texas killer.

Too bad Kansas, you won't have this fan support in the tournament. If it takes a ridiculous 3pt shooting % to beat us, then it shows we're the better team on a true neutral court.

go on a fouling frenzy.

And they are getting alot of love from this pro-KU crowd

even if Rush really crossed that line, it's a really random call to make. How is the ref even paying attention to that at this point in the game?

Look at the clock. Almost a minute to go. We don't have to make up for the whole deficit now. One possession at a time. A two would've made it a one possession game.

not a very good time tto turn it over

I hate Kansas. This sucks. We are clearly the better team. I'm a poor sport.

as long as they have crazy depth. Remember that both teams are play the third game of a back-to-back-to-back. Clearly this favors Kansas.

14-3 run to end the game for KU. We couldn't finish the game. DJ looks exhausted.

hired Super Mario's dad just so he would come to school there?

Tough loss for the Horns. It should put us in Houston, but I wanted a win in the Big XII champ game. Next year.

He needs to be healthy and prepared for the tournament.

We were without our 6th man today, who could have made a solid impact.

They played well and run into a buzz saw today. I still think a 2 in the south is the perfect scenario for this team. I def didnt want them to be 1 in Detroit. Who in the world would ever wanna go to Detroit?

Not again, please tell we didn't just lose to them for the 3rd straight year.

I've got to believe Barnes stayed in the zone because his team just didn't have enough gas left to go man to man.

This team just wasn't built for 3 games in 3 days. We knew that coming in.

Let's hope it turns into a positive with a 2 seed in the south.

This just hurts.

Congrats to KU, they did what they had to do.

But you are right, three games in three days was a tough task.

A great game by two great teams.  I'll be perfectly satisfied with a 2 in the south.  Let's hope it happens!

Also, maybe this is Mason's offensive breakout game.  It's been a while, but it was nice to see him even looking for his shot a bit in this game.  If Atch could just get untracked again, watch out!

We should have won that game, but we just couldn't make a few wide open shots towards the end that would have kept us from having to foul.  I hope we make this hurt less with a deep tourney run, but until we win a Big XII title, this is going to sting.

but if we're #2 in Houston, everyone better be rejoicing.

Plus I really do think Memphis is ripe for the picking.

I'm just wondering who the #1 would be there.

not only is he pro-KU, all he basically says when he compliments Texas is how Connor is a matchup problem for other teams since he can take opponents' big man out with his great 3pt shooting.

Well today, Atchley did not hit a single three and was the only starter not to get into double figures.

DJ and Abrams combined for 34 of our 64 shots. Hopefully this changes if Johnson gets some shots.

UGA went 4-12 in conference, and is sewing up an automatic bid to the Dance.

Wow.

Watch ESPN or CBS at 5pm?

i cant stand them, and of course im gonna have to hear a bunch of shit from their obnoxious fans here in atlanta...

If ya gotta lose, that's the way to do it. Kansas played their best game of the year and we hung with them almost to the end. Of all the other Big 12 teams, they're the only one I can really root for. Let's hope we get to play them one more time for the big prize.
