Wow. Wildcats just pouring it on. Another timeout by Bill Self.

Timeout Bill Self. #kubball is down 22-4. Villanova can't miss. KU can't stick with shooters.

Keep it under 20

Is 16 the biggest comeback this team has made so far this year?

Gillespie draws a charge on a Newman drive and KU has turned it over on 5 of 11 possessions.
Nova then goes down and nails 6th 3 of the first 7 minutes.
#KUbball down 22-4.

by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:13:54 AM
Villanova is 6 of 10 from the 3-point line; KU has yet to attempt a 3. #kubball is getting crushed 22-4.

by Bobby Nightengale via twitter 4/1/2018 1:13:59 AM
Another 3-pointer for Villanova forces another Self timeout... #KUbball in big trouble here, trailing 22-4 with 13:03 to play. The time left on the clock is the only good thing for KU right now... Unless it isn't. Nova 6-of-10 from behind the arc.

Villanova 22, Kansas 4, 13:03, 1st half. Villanova bench has outscored Kansas team, 6-4. #KUbball #FinalFour2018

by Tom Keegan via twitter 4/1/2018 1:14:22 AM
Bigger concern for #KUbball right now might be their inability to even get a 3-point look.

by Matt Tait via twitter 4/1/2018 1:14:49 AM
Spellman checks in. We'll see how De Sousa looks on defense.

Udoka Azubuike shaking his head in frustration on the bench. #kubball

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:15:16 AM
well that turned embarrassing really quickly.......forcing it into udoka every time has completely taken us out of our 3 point shooting, free, attacking guard offense...dok is being exposed...he's not guarding anyone right now.......we need to start gunning 3's and playing some defense

Kansas has 4 points in 7.5 minutes. Even if Nova wasn't hitting every shot, that won't get it done.

2-3 zone for #kubball on that possession it looked like.

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:17:12 AM
Nice putback by De Sousa. He's trying to jumpstart the offense.

Silvio De Sousa gets a tip in. KU cuts the deficit to 15. Let's see if things settle down.

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:17:46 AM
2nd off. reb. for De Sousa off the bench and he tips it in.
#KUbball with a much-needed hoop. Still down 22-7.

by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:17:55 AM
Nova going cold with 3 straight misses. De Sousa has 5 points.

Silvio De Sousa with another tip in. He is made for this game. Udoka Azubuike is not...... so far.

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:18:26 AM
Nova starting to miss. #KUbball trying to crawl back into it. Five straight points for Silvio. 22-9.

by Matt Tait via twitter 4/1/2018 1:18:36 AM
De Sousa putting in work on the offensive glass.
4 off. boards already and 2 tip-ins.
#KUbball still down 22-9 though.

by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:18:40 AM
Newman with a layup. Timeout Jay Wright. 7-0 run for KU.

Malik Newman to the rack. #kubball on a 7-0 run, with five points coming from De Sousa. Timeout Villanova. It's 22-11.

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:19:11 AM
This reminds me of Nova's win against OU a couple years ago in the Final Four in Houston. Got out to a fast start and never looked back.

Silvio De Sousa with 5 points/4 rebounds in 3 minutes.

De Sousa is our answer

Somewhere in there #KUbball loosened up and just started playing. Looked really tight in that first 5-7 minutes. Understandably so given Nova's hot start. 18-point lead down to 11. Timeout Nova. 22-11, 10:25 1st half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 4/1/2018 1:20:03 AM
Silvio De Sousa 5 points, 4 offensive rebounds in 3 minutes off bench. Kansas on 7-0 run. Jayhawk fans making themselves heard in massive Alamodome. Villanova 22, Kansas 11, 10:25. #KUbball #FinalFour

Have we gone a half this year without making a 3?

Is Svi sick? Not acting like he feels good.

And Nova exits the timeout with a 3 from Paschall. He's got 8 points.

Lagerald Vick with a quick answer. Svi Mykhailiuk is the only KU starter without a point.

What happened to the Newman of the past few weeks???

A little token full-court pressure from KU out of the timeout but Garrett doesn't get to Paschall in the left corner in time and Nova hits 7th 3. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:23:09 AM
Villanova has attempted 15 3s. KU has attempted 15 shots.

We can't trade 2's for 3's with them

Back to back 3s for Villanova. 15-point game.

by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:23:21 AM
Now 8 3's for Nova after Booth hits on ensuing possession. #KUbball trails 28-13 twitter.com/BentonASmith/s…

by Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:23:28 AM
Malik Newman with a strong layup with some contact. He's up to 4 points.
