I had high hopes that perhaps the Jayhawks could beat Texas. However, Texas had their home crowd behind them. Some of the calls were questionable. But the 'Hawks did make some mistakes and nothing seemed to go down for them. Granted they had more 3 pointers than the previous game but fouls pretty much got to the Hawks. The rebounds also got to the 'Hawks, not enough of them in the second half.
Darrell Arthur had 22 points, Darnell Jackson scored 13 as well as Mario Chalmers. Mario Chalmers nearly got that last shot to go down. But there just wasn't enough time to get that last three attempt to go down the basket. Brandon Rush scored 10, then Sasha Kaun got 4, Russell Robinson 3, and Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich each got in 2 points.
Darnell Jackson's mom was behind the KU bench cheering for her son. That was nice to see her after all that she had been through. There was a great Sports Illustrated article in last week's issue about Darnell. If you haven't read it you should. We have met Darnell (the autograph session after the game) and he is one of the nicest guys to take picture with and to talk with. He is very tall and very handsom. Hopefully he will have a career in the NBA and get a good draft pick. He has worked very hard to get where he is. I am so glad that he stayed all 4 years at KU and didn't take off his Senior year in order to go to the NBA, like many of college players do anymore.
The next game for the Hawks will be in Lawrence against Colorado. Now, K-State is ahead in the Big 12. Yuk!! Michael Beasley and the 'Cats already have a big head because they beat KU. I just hope Texas Tech will beat K-State, that would be satisfaction!
Practice at Lawrence this week is going to be tough on the players, but it needs to be so they can win games at the end of the season and in the tournament. That's when things will really count even more.
