Game blog from Sprint Center: Kansas vs. West Virginia - Big 12 semifinal

3rd & 7 37yd

#kubball has hit 1 of their last 11 FG attempts.

They just don't want to get too hot too early

Bold strategy.

I was actually surprised that didn't go in.

All hands team will not have any #kubball players on it.

Curly Neal has checked in

Both teams shooting 50% from 3.

One team has made 5 of them though

Great patience by McCormack, both on the post, waiting for the ball and once he got it. #Kubball

Grimes #BANG #KUBBALL is alive

Knapper is the most West Virginia last name ever.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:19:56 AM
That wasn't strong - that was the ball going right to him off the block.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:22:39 AM
With just one hot 3 point shooter on the floor the #KUBBALL offense would look so much better just because of spacing.

Confidence is rising

What an amazing pass by Dotson... Big time shot by Grimes, too, but the pass was next-level. Wow. #KUbball climbs in front of WVU, 38-36, on a 4-point play with 2:29 to play in the half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 2:25:39 AM
Dotson and Grimes were on the same page from the moment McCormack secured the defensive board. Dotson caught the outlet ready to push and knowing Grimes was ahead and ready to fire a 3. #KUbball up 38-36 after foul and 4-point play.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:25:47 AM
Rhythm, heat check 3 for Grimes on the very next break and he drains it. #KUbball up 41-36

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:26:31 AM
Grimes again

#BANG

Lets not ignore the hot hand

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:27:06 AM
Grimes was trying to get the ball for the heat check there... And his teammates were looking for him. Couldn't find the right spot or spacing and Ochai misses and Garrett fouls. Still, #KUbball leads 41-36 late 1H

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 2:27:23 AM
Quentin Grimes now has 16 3-pointers over his last 5.5 games, for the record.

by Shane Jackson via twitter 3/16/2019 2:27:33 AM
Garrett bucket

They went for the lob first

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:28:01 AM
13-2 #kubball run

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:28:27 AM
Just. Like. That. #KUbball leads 43-36 with 1:03 to play in the half. Timeout WVU. Shades of KU-Michigan State. Dotson and Grimes have combined for 24 points this half to lead Kansas.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 2:28:35 AM
Marcus Garrett looking more comfortable on that ankle by the day. Has driven in and finished difficult layups twice in the 1st half. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:29:31 AM
Make that 3 times. Garrett gets another. KU up 45-38 #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:30:15 AM
#KUBBALL up 48-40 at the half after another Grimes

#BANG

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:30:55 AM
WVU = 5 three point buckets

Quentin Grimes = 5 three point buckets

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:31:29 AM
Amazing to see Grimes confidence as a 3-point shooter here. He has really struggled at times this season but is obviously feeling it now. And wants to fire every time.
5 for 5 from 3 in the half. #KUbball up 48-40

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:31:33 AM
Grimes with a DEEEEP 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer puts #KUbball up 48-40 at the break. It took 'em a while, but KU found a little offensive rhythm late. Grimes has 16 at the break. Dotson with 11 and Garrett with 8.

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 2:31:33 AM
Both Grimes and Dotson in double figures.

Lawson double double coming soon

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:33:09 AM
Hell of a way to finish the half for KU. Jayhawks made 11 of final 15 shots from the floor.
6 were layups, 4 were 3-pointers (all the 3s by Grimes). #KUbball up 48-40 at the break.

by Benton Smith via twitter 3/16/2019 2:33:58 AM
Marcus Garrett will start the second half in place of Ochai Agbaji.

by Shane Jackson via twitter 3/16/2019 2:47:28 AM
How does that go in?

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:51:49 AM
Grimes - Ballin

I don't think this dude knows what 'pinned' means in basketball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:55:12 AM
West Virginia hasn't hit a FG since they were in East Virginia.

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:56:20 AM
Pretty obvious that Quentin Grimes doesn't think Matthews can guard him at all.

#KUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:59:19 AM
Dedric Lawson is just messing with WVU

#KUBBALL

#BANG

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 2:59:36 AM
Marcus Garrett now in double digits with 10

#kubball

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 3:00:44 AM
Garrett has been so good going to the rim today... #KUbball has really exploited WVU's half-court D in that way, between Garrett and Dotson. 64-48, Kansas. 13:40 to play

by Matt Tait via twitter 3/16/2019 3:01:30 AM
Dotson went And1 mixtape for a second - and it was about to be glorious.

Stupid ref

#kUBBALL

by Matt Scott via twitter 3/16/2019 3:03:11 AM
Ochai needed that to fall. Badly. #KUbball leads 66-48 mid-2nd half.
