#KUBBALL hoping to get to halftime not down 15 or more at this point.

foul

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:55:04 PM
Feels like one of those halftimes ahead where Self and/or someone else reminds Dedric Lawson that he's better than this... Will it matter? #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:55:13 PM
Showtime passes - seems like the logical choice

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:55:27 PM
Wow. Talk about not your day. Lawson misses the first FT after getting the call #KUbball fans have been begging for. He's now 2-of-11 from the floor and 1-2 from the FT line. KU trails 32-22 late 1H

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:56:23 PM
2-8 from the FT line.

TWO FOR EIGHT!!

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:56:35 PM
6:09 with a FG for #KUbball

That is hard to do

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:57:57 PM
#KUbball shooting numbers this half, with 25.9 seconds left...

FG: 10-35
3PT: 0-8
FT: 2-8

You're going to be down big with numbers like that.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:58:00 PM
#KUBBALL down 22-32 at the half.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 10:58:53 PM
Self pretty much hated that last possession. Lets Grimes and Moore hear about it on their way to the locker room.
ISU up 32-22 at the break. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 10:59:05 PM
Not today for Grimes before the halftime buzzer... Good for him to get it up. Didn't look like anyone else was going to. #KUbball finishes the half 0-of-9 from 3-point range, reminding people how quickly things can go south for this team. ISU leads 32-22 at the half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 10:59:17 PM
The Jayhawks did not make a shot outside the paint in the first half. They scored 22 points in 37 possessions #KUbball

by Shane Jackson via twitter 3/16/2019 10:59:21 PM
Too late - burned into my memory

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:03:07 PM
KU's last FG came with 6:34 left in the half.

Sad to see us go out this way. Maybe they can turn things around in the second half.

Geesh ...maybe they should have had a shoot around today instead of a walk through.

It's 1 big and 4 guards to start the 2nd half for KU.
Garrett in for McCormack. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 11:16:58 PM
This is going so well

#KUBBALL

Just so sloppy.

Dotson now with 3 fouls That is going to be rough.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:18:49 PM
Third foul on Dotson. Self's gotta stay with him. #KUbball too far behind to worry about that right now. 37-24, ISU, 18:26 to play.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 11:19:08 PM
Well Iowa State is winning the first 2 minutes of second half

Jump passes

they solve all the issues

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:19:44 PM
Just like that - #KUBBALL is down 15.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:20:01 PM
It is a 15-point deficit for KU 2 minutes into the 2nd half.
Timeout Self.

Iowa State up 15. Timeout #KUbball -- Not the start to the 2nd half KU was looking for. Still time, but the way these guys look today, three more halves might not be enough. 17:59 2H

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 11:20:22 PM
Bill Self has one timeout left with 18 minutes left to play #KUbball

by Shane Jackson via twitter 3/16/2019 11:22:04 PM
7-0 run for ISU over the last 1:34

#KUBBALL has 1 made FG since the 6:34 mark of the 1st half.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:22:22 PM
miss

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:22:55 PM
Excuses are always lame but that miss by Dotson looked like a 3 games in 3 days miss... #KUbball down 17 now.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 11:23:22 PM
Another 2 + minute stretch with scoring for #KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:23:23 PM

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:23:47 PM
Dedric finally gets a shot to fall and draws the foul. He's 3 for 13. And 1 makes it a 41-27 #KUbball deficit.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 11:24:22 PM
ISU shooting 80% so far in the 2nd half.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:24:43 PM
THIS IS A SCORING EXPLOSION FOR #KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:25:26 PM
and........ it's over

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:25:56 PM
#KUbball showing signs up life with a couple of defensive stops. Still down 12, but also still breathing. 43-31, 15:27 2H

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 11:27:25 PM
Get it down to 10 or less in the next 5:27 and we gotta game.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:27:38 PM
#KUBBALL is 0-10 from three.

KU is shooting the same percentage from 4.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:28:46 PM
Both teams have combined to hit 10 of their last 11 FG's

SCORING EXPLOSION!!!!

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 11:31:02 PM
