What a game!! KU Jayhawks went back and forth on the lead about 6 times. KU set a record for 26 field goals and 24 assists. They also had 15 3 pointers!! Player of this game was Mario Chalmers leading all scorers with a career high of 30 points!! Brandon Rush was named tournament MVP and he scored 19. All three games that the Hawks played in Rush had a total of 56 points. They were sizzling in 3 point shooting! At the half, I was so sure if the 'Hawks would win as they trailed Texas by one point by a score of 46--45. The second half was very exciting with each 3 point we cheered loudly and our dog, Mario became frightened by our cheers. Our cat Sasha, slept right through it, guess he is used to us by now. Mario Chalmers found his mark as did Brandon Rush. Darrell Arthur finally racked in some points scoring 16. Darnell Jackson got all of his points on the free throw line, Russell Robinson didn't score but was very good on defense. Sasha Kaun score 7 points, Sherron Collins had 9 and Cole Aldrich didn't score but had some excellent defensive moves! KU beat Texas 84--74!!
The next game for the Jayhawks will be on Thursday, at 11:25 AM, early start in Omaha! They will be playing the 16th seed in the Midwest Regional, Portland State University (Portland, OR). My niece and nephew in-law graduated from this college and we've driven by it several times while in Oregon.

In the NCAA tourney, the number 1 seeds were UNC (Roy's team), Memphis, UCLA, and Kansas. Good luck to the 'Hawks in their next game. Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

During the game I would text S about the game when they went on commercial break. She is coming back from snow camp today, so she missed seeing the game. But we DVR'd it and she can see the replay when she gets home.

That was quite the exciting game! Several of the "experts" are picking KU to go all the way. I'm not so sure, although I won't complain if they do!
