3 PM CSTWhere: Frank Erwin Center, Austin TexasTV: CBSOnline: FirstRowSports
Welcome to Rock Chalk Talk and your open game thread for the Kansas Jayhawks vs the Texas Longhorns. There is something that feels very college basketball season like about playing on CBS. These are always fun games. As for the teams, Kansas is coming off of a HUGE emotional win on Monday night. Texas is coming off a narrow road loss in Manhattan. Bill Self's challenge is to keep his team motivated for this one. That's not an easy task but at least the name on the front of the jersey is something he should be able to sell.
Kansas v Texas has had some great moments. This year doesn't exactly set up to be one of those years that intensifies the rivalry, but let's hope the team doesn't allow the Longhorns relatively slow start fool them into thinking this isn't a difficult and very important game.

Watching Mizzou and Baylor…Baylor needs to pound it inside they’re too timid
It's an intersting matchup.
The size of Baylor against MU wanting to play 4 guards. You’d think Baylor would be able to overpower them, but MU has been rebounding fairly well so far.

Did they just say that
this Mizzou-Baylor game is the first to ever sell out in advance? Gotta think the KU return game will sell out, too, but seriously, that’s insane.

Baylor suffering from Drewitis currently.
bring goofy white guy off the bench to take wild shot then hack MU player. MU takes lead.

Anyone else not getting CBS in?
Where else does the game come in at, Its not working on direct tv. Free online anywhere?
Not quite sure what you're asking
but the KU game isn’t on until 3 central time on CBS.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 1:43 PM CST up reply actions
CBS is down for technical difficulties
The whole network has been down all morning on Direct Tv. Not sure if it will be up in time for the game and was wondering if the game will be viewable online anywhere

Anyone else see the link saying Chalmers just found out he has a 20 month
old daughter named….Queen Elizabeth.
Agreed to $2600 a month in child support. Just a little more than he pays a month for a bodyguard.

I may be the only one
but I have an irrational fear of playing on CBS. I feel like we struggle when we play on CBS.

Only nice part is this is a conference game.
Our last three OOC CBS games haven’t been very pretty.
Last conference game I remember on CBS
was Texas at home last season
by Connor Moylan on Jan 21, 2012 2:14 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
At Missouri last year was on CBS.
But I’ll admit to forgetting the Texas game was on CBS last year. I thought it was ESPN for some reason.
I was thinking of our Michigan game last year (Big lead that we ended up winning in OT), at Tennessee two years ago, and at Michigan State three years ago.
Owen's favorite hobbit
is 1-11 against KSU. Not quite sure why a slowish, short, not particularly good shooting guy like him gets 35 minutes a game.

Okie State's version of Rudy I guess.
Except he’s on scholarship and play’s 90% of the time. Ouch.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 2:42 PM CST up reply actions
On the bright side, he shoots FT's pretty well.
But it still blows my mind that he’s played 30+ MPG the last three years. They just don’t have any talent to put in front of him.
Yes, that 10 year contract they gave Travis Ford
a few years ago is going to start looking very bad.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 2:47 PM CST up reply actions
Does anyone outside the top 5 coaches
deserve a 10 year deal?
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Maybe makes sense for Butler
to give their coach that kind of deal. Of course he’s pretty damn close to being a top 5 coach.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 2:50 PM CST up reply actions
I think it already is.
They’ve gotten progressively worse under him, and this year doesn’t seem to be going any better.
And he's playing against
Another short, slow midget.
MU up 8 with 7:30 left

At least their version of a hobbit(Phil Pressey)
can actually play basketball. He’s been destroying Baylor the last 5 minutes.

Anyone still want to defend Drew
Most Talent in the conference, CLEAR advantage against Missouri that he can’t take advantage of and brutal defense. Worst coach in the big 12 and it’s not close.

Perry Jones really disappeared in that game.
Probably still shell shocked from TRob.

No touches. The entire gameplan should have been pj3

Hmmm, fill up your staff with former AAU ooaches
to get recruits, then wonder why you’re beaten strategically against good teams.
I'm shocked!

Okie State had a chance to get within 1 of KSU
but the hobbit bricks a 3 and then they miss a good look inside. KSU up by 6 with 1:16 left.

It's pretty ridiculous.
Granted, he never shoots from outside about 6 feet, but neither does Dwight Howard…

What is this magic?
We don’t miss the first 8 minutes of the game because of the previous game? Excellent.

Good post feed to Withey for a score.
We need that today.

Anyone think it will be possible for Withey to put on any weight?
Or will he be a twig forever?
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
elijah is so bad
what the hell happened to him
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
I sure thought he would have had much more development by now
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Time to bring back Boschee to coach the guards!

Two bricks by Releford at the line
Have to make the easy ones

F-ing CBS
Game not on here in DC. Not on their online site either. Fist row sports is better than nothing, but I WANT MY HD!
I always drink the Kool-Aid
i need to set up an open thread for tyshawn apologies

That was not good.
We got a good break on a loose ball and he can’t make a layup.

No kidding
He has some serious ups, no reason he can’t dunk that

Bailout foul call with 5 on the shot clock after a travel that was missed

Nice job TRob.
I think that was TRob on the held ball anyway.
300 K in the trust fund for T-Rob's sister.
That’s the first time I’ve heard a specific number for that. Much credit to all the KU fans that donated.

Is this teams ceiling higher than everyone expected to start the year? And if so, what single factor has made the biggest impact on that?
Questions, Comments? email me at denverjhawk@hotmail.com
3 Things for me
Robinson has been a monster. Expected but I didn’t think Player of the Year Material
Tyshawn has been a lot better, especially recently that I ever thought he could be
Withey has developed and played some very good minutes. Never expected that.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Agree with all those,
plus Releford has been solid all year.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:29 PM CST up reply actions
Definitely
I guess in summary everyone is playing a little better than I thought they would. And the lack of depth has not been a problem.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
the real key
will be what happens when Robinson picks up two cheapies in a second round or sweet 16 game
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
Robinson is going to have to do more with those double teams

I'd expect runs like this at the Fieldhouse...
But not on the road. I’m really impressed with our D today so far.

didn't mean that as a reply
by hawkinwichita on Jan 21, 2012 3:31 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Yes, that was a nice 6 minutes or so.
Texas scores 5 straight to tie it at 7, and we respond by scoring 15 straight.
someone get the film of that drive and make EJ watch it 10 times a day
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
anyone know we have two Robinsons on the team?
These announcers are horrible
by misterbrain on Jan 21, 2012 3:33 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Seems like the relative lack of basketball on CBS is the key to that.
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Good pass by T2 inside to Withey again.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:36 PM CST reply actions
Who would have thought Withey could hit 85% from the line
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
I don't think so.
Just warned them to cool it.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:40 PM CST up reply actions
Both coaches immediately yanked them both as well
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Not if ESPN's boxscore is correct.
T-Rob had 1 foul earlier in the game, and just picked up another. Did not see him given one after the incident.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:44 PM CST up reply actions
I don't remember the early foul, but I might have missed it.
And I’m pretty sure the ref gave the T signal and pointed to both of them. Guess I’ll rewind at half to check.
Ugh. Give up an offensive board
which leads to T-Rob getting his 2nd foul.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:42 PM CST reply actions
Strong finish to the half would be huge.
We’ve made a little rally ever since Texas blew that layup.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 3:50 PM CST reply actions
With how good he's been
In a close game do we give Withey the ball to get fouled and shoot FT’s?
Oh Withey.
Both of his fouls have been past the three point line.
Good end to the half there
Stopped their run and up by 12 going in
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Georgetown had only 12 field goals
in a 52-50 win against Rutgers. I bet that one was fun to watch
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
But there was at least 38 shot fakes
Since 2005: Royals win% = .4100, Chiefs win% = .4095
Mitt Romney is a serial killer.

Tyshawn showing up big again.
12 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, 0 turnovers.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 4:09 PM CST reply actions
Starts off the second half off well too.
Hopefully we can bury them early.
by hunter s. royal on Jan 21, 2012 4:14 PM CST up reply actions
Not sure how that was a foul on Robinson
Looked like a 50/50 ball
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
Thought we got a break on the other end
when Withey was fighting for a rebound and didn’t get called for a foul, but that was a nasty payback.

Hey Wesley... Don't let em score

Great drive and score by EJ.
Badly needed with T-Rob out.

Be nice if we could manage without him
for another few minutes. If we could keep a double digit lead until the next TV timeout would be great.

Can't let it get any closer
Big foul there on wang
It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.
T-Rob has managed to stay out of foul trouble pretty well
He’s earned my trust to not pick up a quick 4th
We're struggling on the boards with T-Rob out,
but Withey and Wesley have been having a block-a-rama the last few minutes.

Did they just say Jeff Withing? After calling EJ Elijah Robinson all during the first half.

Surprised there are still 9 minutes left.

And it looks like a free throw fest from here on out. Could be ugly.

Yep. And a FT fest is a major advantage for Texas.

I feel helpless right now
Feels like our offense can’t do anything right now, and we can’t grab an offensive board
This is just painful...
we’re just pissing this away

This feels just like the Texas game last year.
We came out on fire, then faded away.

Defense isn't much better. 37 points for them this half.
Although I suppose part of that is our offense.
