That play. This game. Wow. Too much fun. #KUbball pulls ahead 14-12

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:25:17 PM
Some KU fans wanted a foul called in the backcourt. It's a play on and Newman attacks, feeds De Sousa for an alley-oop.
#KUbball up 14-12

Both teams are competing their asses off, making good plays and bad, giving a little and getting a little. Exactly what a conference title game should be. #KUbball leads 14-12, 11:50 1st half.

Obviously, the refs are determined to even up the foul calls from the last game regardless of how much we get bludgeoned.

Udoka didn't look very happy about Konate's antics.

Svi catch-and-shoot out of the timeout baseline out of bounds play puts KU up 17-12.
Amazing how often he gets open looks. #Kubball

SEveral teams have tried to rough us up. Bit we don't recognize punk.

Coach is onto some sort of defensive tendancy with the Svi plays.

Konate did a great job of using his off hand to prevent Silvio from challenging the shot. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:32:21 PM
In his first 5-minute stint De Sousa goes for 4 points and 4 boards.
#KUbball up 21-16

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/10/2018 11:33:25 PM
Lightfoot picks up 2nd foul with 8:11 left in 1st. De Sousa back in.

WVU speeding us up a bit

20 Kansas possessions, 5 turnovers in the first 12-plus minutes vs WVU.
6 points off turnovers for WVU.
#KUbball down 22-21

Konate blocks Graham #kubball @KUsports https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DX9vA-dX0AAwic1.jpg

Is this a situation like it used to be with Anderson's moo teams? They foul so often that eventually the refs just accept it as the new normal- The foul disparity in the last game might be in the back of these zebras' minds

WV into the back of Silvio, leading to the turnover. If refs won't call those WV will feast.

Konate's poise and experience is really paying off for WVU right now against the young #KUbball front line.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:41:21 PM
Late whistle. Looked like nothing there... #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:42:47 PM
Silvio with a hell of an effort on that rebound... Twice. As they waved it off, Silvio waved his arms and yelled, "Come on now, come on now." #KUbball down 26-21, 5:53 1st half. Fouls starting to mount.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:44:21 PM
Never seen De Sousa mad about anything but he was not a fan of that basket interference call on his tip-in. #KUbball down 26-21

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/10/2018 11:44:34 PM
KU has made 1 of its last 8 FGs and WVU is on a 13-3 run. #KUbball down 29-24
Jayhawks shooting 9 of 23 in the 1st half.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/10/2018 11:47:07 PM
Second foul on Konate. Moving screen. Pretty big break for #KUbball there. Lightfoot has 2 and so does Svi. Svi's checking back in after this timeout after that unnecessary 3-point jack by Vick after a good rebound. 29-24 WVU, 3:47 1st half.

Nice post, nice left

Great feed by Svi over the top. Smart seal by De Sousa to get position. Layup cuts WVU lead to 29-26. #KUbball
De Sousa with 6 points, 6 boards

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/10/2018 11:51:16 PM
So #KUbball has Lightfoot and Svi with 2 fouls and WVU has Konate and Ahmad with 2. Advantage Kansas.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:51:28 PM
I CANNOT STAND WVU AND THEIR FOULING NO-CALL STYLE!!!

Silvio De Sousa tip in at one end steal of a pass to cutter on the other. Has eight points and seven rebunds (five offensive) in 13 minutes off the bench. West Virginia 34, Kansas 31. #KUbball

by Tom Keegan via twitter 3/10/2018 11:54:12 PM
That's twice Carter has answered a big Newman 3 with one of his own. #Kubball had temporarily tied it but WVU jumps back in front with the 3 from Carter. 34-31, WVU. :48.7 to play in the half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/10/2018 11:54:21 PM
2 for 1 coming up

Our size limitations are showing. If we don't hit 3s, it'll be a quick tourney exit.

Sensational shot by Carter. WVU missing Konate- can we foul him out?

by Bill Dunn 3/10/2018 11:54:57 PM

Whoa.
Graham to De Sousa lob to finish the 1st half in transition and in style.
#KUbball down 34-33 at half.
10 points, 7 boards for the broad-shouldered freshman.
