"Kansas struggled to finish around the rim against Kentucky on Nov. 15. The Jayhawks missed a season-high 21 of their layups and dunks"

1. Thought this was interesting considering this was only the 2nd game of the season for both teams.
2. Even after this terrible shooting performance by Kansas, and also great defense performance by Kentucky,... final score 75-65 Kentucky..
3. Kentucky only won by 10pts in that game??.. With the terrible offense Kansas had in that game to keep it within 10 is GREAT!


Todays game will be a lot different and much closer. I cant see Kansas going in and laying down in a championship game like they would have early in the season.
SHOULD BE A VERY CLOSE GAME TODAY FELLAS!!

BUT Ky had much less experience, freshman galore, so early game KU should have had an advantage.

and you think the experience factor wouldnt matter in a CHAMPIONSHIP game, its going to matter even more here

Excellent point from Serbone. That first matchup is almost meaningless. That was the 2nd college basketball game that Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, or Teague ever played. Just think about how much better they are as a team 30 games later.

not to mention the hours upon hours of time together in the gym.

No, not a good point. If anything, KU was at the disadvantage. Everyone on KU's roster had been career bench players other than Tyshawn Taylor prior to this year.

I would venture to say that most teams do worse around the basket when playing Kentucky than they do vs most other teams.

Well great game tonight fellas.. Thought it would be a little closer than it was..but Kansas really came back 2nd half... Still compared to earlier in the season' game..This was by far a,.. much better performance (in the 2nd HALF ALONE) by Kansas..than the first game and the 1st qtr of this game ever was...
