Ku V Cu 2-13-08

[Jimi]

Kansas leads 38-31 at the half. Both teams shooting well.

[YCN]

Pretty close except at the stripe, where KU shot 6-7 and CU 1-2.

KU's made one more bucket on two fewer chances for a 57% shooting percentage compared to CU's 50%.

[YCN]

Colorado scored the first 5 points of the second half to get within 36-38. Danielle McCray hit 1-2 free throws, and Cu failed to score. Catic hit a jumper, and it's gotten sloppy since then, with KU leading 41-36.

KU exchanged a 2 for a CU 2 and 3, and leads 43-41.

[YCN]

KU has stretched out into a lead and is keeping CU at arm's length, leading 57-47 with with 8:25 left.

[YCN]

KU leads 60-55 with 3:40 left, CU won't go away.

[YCN]

KU has opened up a 63-55 lead with 1:36 left. This one's almost in the bag for KU. I think they still have a legitimate shot at an NCAA bid this year, they are almost done with their hardest games.

[35TangoTango]

I can't figure Colorado out.

[YCN]

CU is clinging to life in this game, trailing 59-65 with 54 seconds left. Just two three pointers could tie the game. CU has possession out of the 30 second timeout.

[YCN]

CU turned the ball over, leading to two points for KU. KU now leads 67-59 with 40 seconds left.

Now 70-59 with 29 seconds left. I'll call it, and this will be my last post.

CU ran into a buzz saw in conference play, one they never saw coming. I'm as suprised as anyone by their downfall.
