#KUbball takes the floor for the Big 12 title game. Iowa State followed and got a louder roar. Self appears to have been right. Maybe not 70-30 but 60-40. Tip coming up...

"LET'S GO, STATE!!" chant breaks out with Big 12 title game about to tip-off.
It's litty. #KUbball

Yet - not the Big 12 POY

Which is absolutely ridiculous.

Tip-off coming up here at Sprint Center... #KUbball and Iowa State for the tourney title.

Kansas opened -2.5 in Vegas but that has been bet down to Pick 'Em in some places, KU -1 at others.

foul

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:11:34 PM
4-2 #kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:12:30 PM
Keep going to the rim there. Likely going to get fouled. No reason to stop and take a tougher shot

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:13:55 PM
Short on that lob

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:14:20 PM
Jacobson anticipates the lob for Agbaji and knocks it away. Then scores on the other end. #KUbball and ISU tied at 4.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 10:14:28 PM
Wow - just lazy passing right now.

#kubball should be up 8 or 10-4

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:15:05 PM
IIRC - ISU couldn't stop Garrett driving to the rim in Lawrence.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:15:47 PM
Not the kind of start Ochai was hoping for after a strong finish on Friday night... He sits early and Garrett checks in. #KUbball trails 8-6

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:16:01 PM
3:55 of game time - 3 #kubball turnovers.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:16:36 PM
Instead of throwing it inside when it's open - KU forces so many bad passes inside the lane

Ball finds Dedric

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:17:34 PM
Wow. Dedric Lawson head fake behind the arc sets him up for the drive and he follows up his own miss with a putback. 4 early points for him. #KUbball

Missed opportunity leads to an easy ISU jumper

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:18:38 PM
#kubball has missed their last 4 FG's

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:18:56 PM
#KUBBALL has now hit only 1 of their last 7 FG's

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:19:20 PM
Hell of a pace to open the Big 12 title game... Prohm telling his guys to get out and run whenever possible, #KUbball trying to keep pace. Cyclones lead 13-8 at the 13:40 mark of the first half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:20:12 PM
Self kind of laughing, saying something to Dedric as the big man heads to the bench for timeout. Presumably about the wide-open layup he somehow shortarmed a minute ago. #KUbball down 13-8 early.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 10:20:38 PM
If it takes you 45 minutes to get to Lawrence from KCMO

You're not driving fast enough

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:22:50 PM
#KUBBALL SCORED

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:23:12 PM
Another short shot that is missed by #KUbball

and then they give up the and1

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:24:00 PM
Dedric Lawson's 2-of-7 to open this game... Some have been tough, most have been shots he should make. #KUbball will need that to change to win this one. 15-10, ISU, 12:22 1H

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:24:20 PM
Dedric missing some shots he should be converting early on. Now 2 for 7. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 10:24:22 PM
Grimes with a big time block against Wigginton who went 1-on-3... #baddecision #goodblock #Kubball

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:24:58 PM
Just ignore the wide open guy in the corner. It's cool

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:25:05 PM
3 turnovers on KU's first 15 possessions, along with 4 missed layups. Taking some time to settle in and ISU is up 15-10. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 10:26:42 PM
#kubball is 4-8 on lay-ups

ISU is 1-3
