Lawrence – The Incoming Ball successfully and the basketball in Kansas is on its way to win.
This is about seven seconds in the first period of sequels on Saturday, at home against Houston. This is with Jayhawks, leading 79-76, and Cougars are trying desperately to finish late return without any significant mistake for a mistake.
And then not only did Houston’s Pressure Force A Turnover, As Ku Guard Zeke May Failed to Complete A Pass to One of His Teammates, But the Cougars Quickly Pounced On The Late in Pos 79-79 To send the game to double overtime.
This was not the only time No. 11, Kansas had the opportunity to close a victory within Alan Forthouse against No. 5 Houston. Jayhawks also led the last minute of regulation before turning the ball and later watching the couges tie the score at 66-66 to force overtime. But given the possibility of compensating for not making the necessary plays at the end of the second half, Kansas came out again and continued to lose 92-86.
“It’s like a bowel blow and feels awful,” said Kansas Dickinson center hunter. “I feel. “
Kansas completed the game with 12 rpm, which Houston scored 17 points of them, and the cougars allowed only eight points from their five turnover. Jayhawks eventually fired 17-30s of free throws, 56.7%, as they failed to take advantage of their visitors, shooting by 14 for 25, 56%, from the free throw line. Execute the way Kansas showed himself capable, and the coach’s team was the one who celebrates victory on Saturday.
Instead, Kansas (14-5, 5-3 in the big 12), again without ahead KJ Adams due to an injury, finds himself in more than just a challenging situation when it comes to the Big 12 Conference race. Houston (16-3, 8-0 in Big 12) is full of three matches from Jayhawks. It was an opportunity to make up the cougars and was wasted.
For the second time this season, Kansas lost a game at home that had his chances of winning. The one, because of the way he ends, will probably sting so much more. While Jayhawks can boast a list of so many talents and so much experience that combined with the crowd inside Alan Forthouse was not enough against a team in Houston, which has the same kind of aspiration this season Jayhawks.
“I feel like the way they squeezed the ball, the way they kept it, just – we didn’t open up in time,” said Ku Ralan Griffen’s guard, appreciating why his Jajoks fought some inbound situations against Houston.
“And it really happened right there.”
