Kansas Vs. Northern Iowan

Oh, that was a tough game for KU. I watched the whole thing and was for them, but, hey, you can't play like Grandma and hope to win. Still, it turned out close. If they would've played with some of that intensity the whole time, they could've done it.

It was tough that so many of the three pointers wouldn't go through. And the front end of free throw shots. You add up a few of those, like 2 (as it turned out) and it would've made a big difference.

I had the sense all the way through that something would kick into gear for them. That at some point they'd turn it and end up winning by 9 or 10 points. But it wasn't to be.

I was talking to someone a couple hours before the game that this could happen, since anyone can have a bad day ... and anyone can have a great day, like UNI had. They were a very impressive team, with some real standout players. I was impressed. While disappointed in the Jayhawks.
