Kansas vs BYU | 2024.2.27 | NCAAB Game

[Applause] 367 sellout in a row and Kansas wins the opening tap Nick Timberlake will run the show here's Dewan Harris their floor General second in the Big 12 an assist per game these are the top two assist teams in college basketball each averaging over 19 a night top five in assisted baskets as well well so that means they pass they move they cut they share and they Harris got a hurry Scoops it up and in for the first [Applause] deuce the number 50 who's one of the best passing big men in the country we got two really good decision makers playing the five position and Kansas will switch in manto man that's what BYU likes to do is shoot the three ball Trev now missed his first look and here comes Harris the other way he's the guy who steers this ship at 14 points in a blowout win over Texas over the weekend they're 33 and two when he's in double figures Dickson missed it from the midrange now the rebound they go naked two man side and it's a short Roll by Hunter Dickson that's the shot by wants him to take here's Khalifa Waits and gets fouled the freshman Fury tagged with the first foul of the game there's Mark Pope who wears a suit when they're playing at home at Marriot center because he says a that's a special building and B I look good in the suit they wear the quarter zips on the road this is a road trip for the Cougars they've got their sunflower swing they lost to Kansas State on Saturday 84-74 making their first trips to both those buildings since the early 1970s you know they were going to stay in Kansas but because the game was so early against K State they decided to go back to Provo and Mark po has an incredible personality what an engaging conversation today at Sharon just a likable guy who loves his team well we asked him who would you compare Ali Khalifa to he said yic first word out of his mouth a great passing big KJ Adams contact Pop's counterpart tonight is Bill South who's as consistent as they come more than two at the helmet Kansas 14 consecutive Big 12 regular season titles from 05 he loves KJ Adams and this the top of this rot outstanding shoot around we watched today and he got after his guys I mean they're going through shoot around at game speed so it wasn't seems like he's joking around with them but he's really imparting a lesson every time D Hall is the point guard for BYU draws a foul on his counterpart Dean Harris D Hall leaves the team in assists he's got a better than two to one assist turnover ratio he's going to be challenged by one of the best defensive point guards in the country in Dean Harris Harris on the top 10 list for the bzi award which goes to the best point guard in America the more switched on to Adams now Dickson big on little good take and Hall takes him right to the rack smart nice take by Hall he went one for 10 in the K State game Mark Pope said he didn't shoot it well but he played the rest of the game well he has a excellent floor game for BYU and eight assists in that loss to the wild cats Adams they will sag off him not a threat to shoot from the perimeter here's a money match up Dickson against khif they bring help skips it to Harris on the blow by five to Shi Timberlake left the three-pointer short Spencer Johnson skies for the rebound you got a no Personnel against Kansas and you got to come with a shorter close out on those that don't shoot it well so you don't get the drive by KU not a team that loves to Chuck threes the Cougars are now missed his second three-point attempt now here's Adams you see how much room Noah Waterman's giving him deep position for Dickson against Lea swirls in plus the foul 72 in a foot fight on the Block watch this right here he gets deep position and he just buries Khalifa in the rim excellent footwork terrific finish nice soft touch when he can get over that right shoulder forget about it it's two points Hunter Dickinson 20 points in the win over Texas over 2100 for his career between Michigan and Kansas and it's an early five-point lead for the home team approaching 3 minutes in Kansas has won 19 straight home games tied for the third longest streak in the country swatted by Adams Return to sender on Spencer Johnson he's one of the most athletic players in the country steps through kicks it out Fury into the calm hands of Harris red shirt senior point guard out of Columbia Missouri they like the high low action out of this look right here floats it in Adams in the paint Dickson Taps it can't score and Khalifa starts it the other way okay Kansas has done a good job of not giving up a transition three yet Johnson a tough look Timberlake all over him nobody touched it air ball Kansas ball I'll tell you what this is our first time in here for a guys game man this is awesome fantastic kind of a pinch yourself type atmosphere right we just keep smiling the two of us looking at each other smiling this isn't bad huh pretty good match up too two teams that move it and shoot it really well Timberlake lost his footing BYU bench wanted to travel KU keeps to attend to shoot Dickinson screens for Adams tries to take Khalifa kicks it out Timberlake his three-pointer rattles out FY the offensive rebound [Applause] Harris Dickson ripped down by Waterman using his size to his Advantage Waterman hit with the foul on the floor and that takes us to our first media timeout Kansas leads by five another sellout here at the far see in the Big 12 now the teams are are combined 0 for five from downtown BYU for two Kansas for three so Debbie as we talk about two teams who kind of resemble each other what do you think is the difference in tonight's game well I think Hunter Dickinson is the difference at 72 the All-American candidate can do so many things offensively and he is a challenge for everyone and we'll see if they can get a bucket here out of the Zone but it's a good change by BYU to go Zone on the out of bounds play a great call by Mark Pope leads to the turnover Jackson Robinson in Off the Bench he's their leading scorer but he turned on his first touch I mean excited about being in sure the fog isn't everyone it's a lot like the announcers we come out screaming because we're so excited to be here I mean I didn't even leave today I stayed here the whole [Applause] afternoon Dickson trying to post up and draws the foul it'll be another on Noah Waterman that's his second Waterman really battling down there he is 6'1 but only 220 giving up 40 pounds in that match up not surpris surprised to see BYU go to some Zone especially early knowing that Kansas doesn't shoot the three as much also Bill self worked on Zone today in shoo around and according to Synergy BYU only played five posss of Zone in the last game against K State didn't play any against Baylor in the two previous games Waterman sits with those two fouls in debut it's something we talked about earlier today one of the best things a coach can do is change things up in the midst of a game yeah I'm a big believer in changing the Rhythm Drew you got to change the Rhythm and there's multiple ways you can do it you can change up your defense you can change up your ball screen coverage you can change the pace of how you sprint the floor offensively and you also can call timeout Dickinson by the way missing both free throws to 69% from the line this year's career 74% just a wide open man Trev had it's a switch under the basket but they hit the trip first three tonight they lead the Big 12 in three-pointers made and attempted top three in the country in both fury on the kick to the corner good ball movement ends up with Adams back to Fury the Freshman can't hit the three and Richie Saunders with the [Applause] rebound so three three possession to Zone Drew for three by Kansas good call Saunders the other way missed the triple and FY up top for the rebound Dickson ahead of the Pack Mr inevitable with a two plus that's one way to beat the zone eight of the j-hawks 10 points in the paint Hall tries to take the mismatch in Dickson gets it to feni trior Good Luck Good Luck Good hands from Adams it stayed there for Dickson that's literally building a wall at the rim that's exactly what Hunter Dickinson does Adam skies for it and gets fouled it's just a great find when you look up and you advance pass a little basket hanging maybe and the crowd's response is fantastic look at the students this place is amazing you got students on both ends of the floor they were screaming for like 15 straight minutes before tip off Parker Brown is in the game tried to get it to Marco Jackson The Freshman who also just checked in it'll stay here with 17 to [Applause] shoot on the Baseline out of bounds they get it into Brown nice curl good decision three Subs here Jamar McDow also in the game under five to shoot Al Marco knocks it down the Freshman from Jersey got his first two you know that's the big question for KU without having the services of Kevin mcculler who's still out with that bone bruise on his knee their bench has to provide some numbers for them that's a good on Marco Jackson hadn't scored in the last two games scores right off the bench here Hall tries another leaves it short trior the rebound and a foul on the deck is now went flying Parker Brown just totally put two hands on his back and shoved him out of the way you're not allowed to do that no you can't do that Parker Brown of course A Familiar name here in Lawrence's older brother Christian was a star here won a national championship also won an NBA title with the Denver Nuggets for dad Danny played here as well now looking to get himself going flips it up and in yeah Bill self trying to steal some minutes right here with his three bench players that get the most time Kansas doesn't average very many points Off the Bench there's a great transition opportunity early offense for FY yeah Kansas last in the Big 12 and bench points per game at just over 11 a night that's 344th in division n missed the three but he's fouled by Adams and three free throws coming up for the Junior from North Salt Lake nice Advanced pass and then watch the change of speed and the Sprint cut and a scoring cut by Johnny Fury high off the glass Beautiful Finish Debbie I think we've got 22 NBA Scouts here tonight I'm sure a lot of them are looking at number 10 do you count as a member of the BS Celtics I think Nicholas Timberlake might count from brain free Massachusetts he loves the Celtics he told us before the game yeah hoping they get Banner 18 this year now a 75% free throw shooter this [Applause] year Trey Stewart checks in and D Hall takes a seat Hall leads them in minutes at under 29 per game Mark Pope has a deep bench and he's not afraid to use it well and he's going really small with this lineup on the floor right here and this small lineup he can bring some pressure this would be his pressure package right here on the court here they go again changing up the defense this is a patino ask coaching performance by Mark Pope that's who coached him at Kentucky when he was a player he was a captain on the 1996 national championship team for Rick patino at Kentucky Adams trying to put n in the wait it off the window and trior the rebound Cino just picked up a big win at St John's in the all white the all white white out against kraton there's a three-pointer for Jackson Robinson that's the last thing Kansas fans want to see he can heat up in a hurry down to a one-point lead for The Jayhawks well was a three possession game and Bill self has his his bench out there now he's going back at the next dead ball that's a great find by Jackson to Parker Brown underneath you want go plus minus with this group on the floor with Kansas right these three players that come off the bench for Coach self if they can just stay positive in the plus minus Saunders had it poke free by Adams Murphy on the pickup and they'll call for the foul and he is unsure about that whistle BYU starting to find the stroke from Downs Robinson their Le mostly over 20 point points all year coach self told us his numbers did drop when he started to have the knee issue I mean we all want to see him back and Kansas is obviously much better when he's on the floor and they're pretty good yes I mean they're top six or seven as good as anybody in the country Harris missed it off glass Dickson back in the game could not secure the rebound they've still got McDon and Jackson in there from that bench unit Timberlake and Dickson they along with Harris from the starting group both coaches counter with their bigs on the floor let's see if Khalifa can get going he really good on the short pop or the pop short roll there he is big number 50 out of Alexandria Egypt Saunders tries to turn the corner against Timberlake under five to shoot flips it up left hand can't finish and Timberlake the rebound good defense in a quarter [Music] Khalifa can be the fulcrum of this offense averaging over four assists per game he's got the best assist to turnover ratio in the Big 12 he's 6' 11 Robinson on the set up Saunders again down low turns missed it Dickson boards it approaching the Midway point of this first half Kansas by three here's Jamar McDow all kinds of space knock down a triple you have to be a confident shooter wide open mcdow's just eight for 24 on three here CIFA comes back with three of his own yeah Khalifa very capable of shooting the three he's been solid all year that's his 23rd made triple of the Season almost 35% on the year Timberlake drives rebounded by Spencer Johnson but just to put a bow on that mullor conversation Debbie you know how tough is it for a player if he misses weeks at a time to come back in March it's tough because then you get out of rhythm a little bit your team has moved on to a certain space but they need him for their depth and he's so good of a player he's a veteran player he's experienced he's doing everything he can to get his body right keep it right when he can come back he can immediately step on the floor and be productive Elite on both ends of the floor he was involved in practice yesterday not full speed they're up to have mull back for hopefully a long run in March for Kansas as Robinson it from the elbow rebound byar Kansas has done a decent job of running BYU off the three-point line get it back to Dickson he's double swarm by blue jerseys JW ball when he catches it on the Block not only does he deliver a double but he demands a double and that's where his passing is going to be tested like he's so good at throwing the skip to the other side of the floor in the double you got to take his vision away load your defense up to the strong side not let him throw that skip over the [Applause] top every jhawk on the floor gets a touch Timber L enters it for Dickinson there's the double again and the skip out to Fury goes by Hall great defense better offense that's a 69 player scoring against a smaller player really good pass by Hunter Dickson Fury has really stepped up his game in conference averaging over 12 points per game against Big 12 there's your mismatch kifa with the find Waterman denied by Fury but a foul will send number zero to the line really nice cut on the 45° slice to the bucket really good find by Khalifa Mark PP told us today Debbie that Khalifa has changed everything for their offense he said he's probably added about 30% to our offense cuz guys are always cutting knowing that he can find them well it's good ball movement [Applause] it's Waterman 83% stri this year senior out of Savannah New York up there near Syracuse on his third school started at Niagara then Detroit Mercy and now at [Music] BYU lead back to one possession as we approach 8 minutes until halftime Harrison Adams run the Twan KJ Adams like a free train another and one for KJ KJ Adams so good in the middle third the quality of the catch matters for him they run looks like a weave on the top of the floor a lot of misdirection but then look where he catches the ball and he catches it there with his athleticism he's going to finish well you probably heard the story if you're a big Kansas fan about how KJ Adams was a standout lacrosse player in high school at West Lake in Austin Texas which is a school known for its football products think Adams could play any sport he wants Miss the free throw but it stays [Applause] here eight minutes even left in the first half Kansas by five and it's their ball when we come back yeah BYU is on Pace W to be just the fourth High major team ever to take more threes than twos and the reason why that's important is because Kansas is a two-point shooting team right they score most of their points on twos they're very very highly efficient team at the at the in the paint and at the rim and here comes a change defensively when it results in the steal another one from the Cougars but they give it right back Spencer Johnson couldn't connect with Jackson Robinson there's a change of Rhythm an unexpected double team right across [Applause] midcourt so how many different defenses have we seen from Mark Pope tonight well we've seen 221 we've seen the zone and the man now we just saw trapping half court so that's four Adams good positioning down low and KJ Adams is feasting down low he's got seven tonight B on the kick three-pointer drops for Johnson really nice shot F by Johnson and a good job by D Paul to get downhill Cougar's now four of nine from downtown Adams playing Bully ball and a tie up good defense from Richie Saunders Arrow belongs to the Cougars you know it was 72 de at shoot around for Kansas today it is 39° outside right now that's 30 it has dropped 33° and it's hot in here that's right a few places in the country got to worry about the weather outside before you come inside to play they might need some AC in here that's right no air conditioning in this building and the Sun Peaks Through the Windows it gets hot in a hurry another triple for the Cougars this time it's Richie Saunders back to back threes good ball movement they get two sides the third side results in a triple they run a lot of action on offense Harris hooks it to Dickson he's missed a couple mid-range jumpers already Adams doesn't typically shoot that left at Short Johns in the rebound by will let that shot cougs with a chance to take the lead here Saunders again f for the board Timberlake went down hard and you could hear that from over here well Timberlake and KJ Adams both slow to get up [Applause] big cheer as Nicholas Timberlake stands up Brad student from brain tree Massachusetts 5 years at talson well he's not okay yeah and he's a key contributor for them a starter that timberlay coming off one of his best games with 13 against Texas on Saturday matched His Highest output as a jhawk and we hope he's okay they're going to take him straight to the locker room now that bench gets more important and a little thinner for a b self no Kevin mcculler tonight Nicholas Timberlake going back to the locker room [Applause] it's a good call Da remember Kansas 14th out of 14 teams in the Big 12 and 345th in division one in bench scoring there without mcculler and now without Timberlake who steps up for KU under six to play in the first half Harris caught in the air and another turnover Johnson with a quick hands Cougar's looking for their first lead tonight Hall probes out to Saunders for three doesn't get the roll Adams emerges with it for Kansas and the flush from The Freshman gets the crowd back and pumping trior could not move Adams another offensive rebound for Johnson Hall Waits fires swirls out offensive rebound Saunders and he cleans it up what great extra effort by BYU especially after the dunk to come right back down and look to attack it's a good Jump by Hall he's had really good floor game so far he has managed the tempo of his [Applause] team Jackson in trouble B go BYU had 19 offensive rebounds in the loss to Kansas State Saturday three already today Jackson under sized against trior you don't want to bring a screen to that because you got the switch you want Hall way outside Fury with the rebound bodied up by Hall I like the three and that's a good foul foul that would have been definitely a two-point bucket for Kansas make Fury earn it at the line if you had brought a screen to Hall they would have reswitched that was the right [Music] decision eight fouls against BYU in the first half so one and one coming here for Fury Johny F shooting 75% on the season well he has been good maybe better than avertised maybe at 69 what an incredible second half of the season this freshman has had 64% of the shots he takes are outside the ark but he's doing a good job of attacking he's on the glass he's coming up with extra possessions he's going to have a tough decision to make after this season Deb got a nice wait room here at Outfield Johnson missed it all he's going to hear about it from the fans Kansas ball up three 415 left in the first cougars just one for their last seven this the top scoring offense in the Big 12 averaging almost 83 points per game they're top 10 in K pal effici Harris to Adams BRS it in I so quick off so good in the middle third it's a game high n for KJ Adams you see the passing of Khalifa and the athleticism of Adams another rejection for [Applause] two4 Fury against Khalifa got the mismatch floater won't go and Khalifa corer Brown matched up with Khalifa outside now he gets try Stewart Khalifa going to try to take Adams Brown good positioning for the board Paris slows things down with three minutes left floater Bulls up beautiful patient composed a veteran play by a veteran point guard time out BYU a 60 Kansas run they've got their largest lead [Applause] tonight you just saw that's great news Nicholas Timberlake back in the game he took a big spill like his tailbone and he could barely walk off the floor went to the locker room that was only a few minutes ago 25 is tough and he's back out there for KU this is the big lineup on the floor when you got brown and Hutcherson on the floor and BYU tries to shoot over Dickson sorry Dickson excuse me thank you I knew what you were saying partner I got Hunter and Dickson together it's quicker that way runs the dribble hand off here with Jamari McDow McDow The Freshman from Houston pulls it out against Khalifa he's got the speed Advantage here Dickinson's got the size against Nell but could not handle the pass you got to move the ball even though he had the matchup he wanted what happens is when you Telegraph that everyone loads to the ball and loads their defense up that would not have been a good position for Dickson to catch the ball well his reason Kansas works a lot on clearing out the side for Dickson and the entry pass to the post they do such job got the match up against Parker Brown Khalifa quick trigger Dickinson contested the shot rebounded by Hall in the good save back to him in the corner takes McDow off the bounce and peels back around Khalifa slips the screen now he's got Dickson in the post shot clock winds down to five Khalifa keeps the his paw on it for a second and McDow steadies it for K here's El Marco Jackson quick as a hiccup one of the fastest players in the league BYU scoring drought is coming up on four minutes and M cell takes a timeout a buck 12 to play in the first half Harrison Adams getting set to check back in think it's as much to get the right Personnel on the floor right here and it's that time out if you don't use it you'll lose it in Kansas history you're 126 for this program I got him at 586 wins at Kansas and fog Allen has 590 yeah he's coming up on he certainly is Dickson in the post poetry in the post from Dickson it's just a great use of the timeout now they got a two for one opportunity here for BYU can they score quickly if not Bill self gave him a second set that they're going to run next time down Dickinson switched on to Stewart oneon-one here skip pass so wide open Jackson Robinson Bullseye what a great skip over the top a huge defensive Mistake by Kansas that ends a scoring drought of over four minutes for BYU they had been one for their last 12 gets him back within six as the shot clock is off they're going to go high ball screen right here and then look for the high low game inside to Hunter now flashes around the Adam screen 5 seconds left there it is Dickinson bad pass from Harris Stewart off the scoreboard when you throw the high low you got to throw it from inside the middle third when you're outside the lane line that allows them to bring help good defense by BYU coach s has a six-point lead at half timee but he's got some uh room for improvement I'm sure he thinks with 300 this is 16,300 the 7,000 difference I can feel it it vibrates through your body yeah they're almost twice as many and they're just as crazy as they are Cameron KU ball out of the break Nicholas Timberlake who took that big fall on his back in the first half and return finds Dickson turns and hits with the right hand I mean Bill self is the master at clearing out one side going ISO for Hunter Dickinson dicks it up to nine points to match Adams for a game high tend to shoot as Noah Waterman catches in the corner steps back on Fury miss the triple Dickson board it Fury ahead of the pack count it assist Dickson that would be his first of the game he's a really good passer right Debbie he only averages about two assists per game but you just watch him play Khalifa missed the three Hall got the rebound but called for the foul eyes to the rim on the other side look at Dickenson with a two hand overhead throws it to the rim right where Fury can just catch it and lay it in perfect pass amount of arc on it here's dwan Harris again the entry for Dickinson good hands from Khalifa they were bringing the double again from the weak side Hall on the kick Waterman on the three rattles out now had it for a second timberl streaks in with the rebound he is a blur in the open floor and he's fouled by Spencer Johnson cougars cannot believe the whistle but Nicholas Timberlake will shoot two great Hustle by Nicholas Timberlake pick up that loose ball and then Sprint down the middle of the floor putting all kinds of pressure on B 's transition D 11-point lead the largest tonight for Kansas those are the first two points for Nicholas Timberlake how can BYU avoid letting this get out of hand Debbie well they got to score right here that would be one thing they got to move the ball get Kansas in rotation they run their stuff now took a peek at the basket mat up with Dickinson here when Hunter dickson's done a good job on the switches drops it for Khalifa draws the foul that's the first on Dickinson both these teams accelerate through their action so well you got to really jump to the ball if you're not going to switch you got to guard the ball not the action because it feels like Dickinson I mean he seems like a guy teams would try to exploit on the switch right he does a good job of coring they have been a little bit of of softer cover in their ball screen not like the Texas game where they were hard hedging they were bringing two to the ball here comes uh some extended [Music] pressure Timberlake missed the triple look at Dickson just a beast on the boards thre a double team he rebounded that helps to be 72 Harris a little strong Waterman the rebound not sure that was a rhythm shot for [Applause] Kansas another rebound for Dickinson that's his ninth to go with nine points leading the Big 12 and rebounding at almost 11 per game entry feed Adams and he's fouled by Hall this is where the IQ of Hunter Dickinson comes in I'm watching him he's calling for the ball on the trail look out [Applause] Dickson Khalifa In the Mix as well well the officials are going to send both teams to their [Applause] benches oh Dickson kind of cut through the team huddle right there and oh gosh that n took exception to him because dickon kind of bumped into him he walked right into him of course Tran's not going to like that this is a this is a dead ball situation there was no whistle on the play so they're going to go over and look at it so there's a potential opportunity to upgrade this and put a foul on Dickson a technical foul what do you think Debbie I I don't think it's an F1 I think it would be a like a class a technical penalty would be two free throws point of interruption or it could be boys being boys yeah let him play by the way the foul on D Hall was his fourth he's their floor General so that's something to keep an eye out watch Dickson [Applause] here they might go uh equal gravity and cancel them both out and give them both technicals you know the retaliation could also get a tech we go get the explanation from Jeb [Applause] [Music] Hartness yeah and we got a double dead ball contact tle that's what I thought it it would be a dead ball situation but once you saw the retaliation by nil that nullifies the it nullifies and they fouls of equal gravity right back to the point of interruption well Debbie maybe that gets BYU going a little bit my question is uh what do you want trevan Nell to do make some threes is what you want to be do sure that would work he's 0 for three from distance has been the master of antagonizing the opponent while maintaining a straight face and seeming confused when the other guy gets upset so because it was the double technical as Debbie said nullifying any free throws or anything extra so Dickson will stand eye to eye with Ali Khalifa all right so after that 10-point game early second half and a foul against Spencer Johnson of BYU that's already five against the Cougars not even three minutes into the second [Applause] half we'll try that again on the inbound Fury his three-pointer just rattled out see if Robinson can get going again I thought he played well in the first half there it is you know BYU is going to go back and look at the shot selection and they're going to like it they just haven't been able to connect Robinson now two of five from distance he's taken at least eight threes in three consecutive G one Fury mid-ranger goes Johnson I love that twist action by he's so good at setting the screens on a correct angles and what a find by Khalifa for Robinson 11 or taller averages the second most assist per game in the country only Max Fiedler of rice averages more Jayhawks over for their last four it's been almost three minutes since they've made a bucket Waterman really fighting Dickinson inside Timberlake Springs free Dickinson is down in a heap Adams missed [Applause] it they're going to take a look at this one right here and now they're going to review this play y Terry Oglesby blew the whistle and they will take a peek starting to get choppy and Chippy nothing on the replay so we play on that's uh that's two reviews in the first four minutes and change of the second half starting to get a little extra physical here we a double TCH on Dickson and Nell and then nothing added there I mean that is a term get getting around the screen [Applause] right Waterman fires it off of Timberlake yeah n trying to get skinny there is like me trying to take a diet around the holidays just didn't get skinny enough collided with Dickinson that's a big play right there by Waterman because even if he did catch it there was nowhere to go with it it's tough place to give him the ball seemed like he had a little extra mustard on the the pass off of Timberlake Too tror Waits scores good patience really good execution by Mark Pope's team off the timeout that's the first two points for frusen trior we saw a few possessions of Zone in the first half we haven't seen any here in the second and while they Trail I think they're going to stay in their man although I would like to see a little bit of change in Rhythm which I I think coach Pope has done an excellent job of doing so in this game Harris draws contact now BYU racking up the fouls that's six already in the second half this one goes on trevan Nell keep in mind D Hall has committed four fouls already their point guard and that's now four on Trevon [Applause] Nell so BYU's back court getting thin in a hurry we'll now expect the ball handling responsibility is to go to Jackson Robinson one of the things that Mark Pope's team does really well is they accelerate through their action they move the ball switch sides of the floor I think they need to keep doing that right here trying to get Kansas in rotation CU when they have done that they have been able to take advantage Harris with a quick hands Dean Harris gives it up Dickinson fou that's why with Robinson handling the ball it's much than having D Hall on the floor quick Hands by Harris that's why he's one of the top defensive players in the country he's on the nsmith watch list for Defensive Player of the [Applause] Year Dickinson struggling at the line tonight now one for [Applause] four [Applause] BYU shooting just 30% from the floor that'll help Spencer Johnson job clearing some space and that hard roll to the rim by tayori clearing a little space for him to be able to get into the rhythm of his jump shot BYU hanging here only down by six Adams Dickinson great find and they draw another foul this one goes on Noah Waterman his [Applause] third Hunter Dickinson with his 7 foot2 frame I I I've got him drawing two fouls in a row right there personal fouls he's done a nice job of putting pressure on the front front line players and he's done a good job of helping in that second level defensively also when they rotate he's got stuck guarding some guards [Applause] tonight here on both those free throws Kansas is a team now 10 for 15 they only average about 18 attempts per game at the line which was 12th in the Big 12 but they racking up the fouls drawn tonight Jackson Robinson Harris good hands again stays with the Cougars 19 to shoot [Music] Robinson Waterman who's the foul on it goes against KJ Adams kjams this is the third team foul in the second half against Kansas no n no hall for BYU both those guys have four fouls so it's Jackson Robinson show Switched on Dickson enters a trii back out Robinson for three really good relocation on the perimeter by Robinson very unself displayed by trayor cougars have made four their last five look at TR trying to use his leverage and he's going to get caught for a foul so he's trying to push Hunter Dickson up the Lane off the [Applause] lane trayor does a nice job Robinson gets his hands and his feet ready Dickinson late didn't need the help in the post there right he didn't need any help he overh helped tayori on the foul and post positioning it'll send Dickinson to the line BYU has already committed nine fouls in the second half Kansas is in the double bonus the rest of the way on the next foul 1335 on the clock and Dickinson has switched three in a [Music] [Applause] row getting hot from the free throw line looking like Debbie Antonelli and her 24-hour fundraiser for Special Olympics that's right Dickinson takes a seat Kansas a little bit smaller now Parker Brown at the [Applause] five up here with trior and before the shot I mean foul on Brown trayor plays a game low to High I mean he dribbles to the midline like he's going there and you're not going to stop him he uses his leverage and he pounds it yeah he's a load down there 66240 right back to him against Brown trying to take him to school and he BS it there he goes that's slow man [Applause] win back to a five-point game Fury hounded by Johnson here's Marco Jackson Jamari McDow another freshman in the back court little disjointed here with no Harrison no Dickinson where does Kansas get the offense Adams Kansas ball Jayhawks have not made a field goal in over 6 and a half minutes they're 0 for their last six but they've gotten to the free throw line so they have been punishing in the paint and remember Bill self talked to us about threes versus two entry to Adams missed it wildly and a shot clock violation so how about B country and Ken palom defensive efficiency but they have really locked it down in the second half aside from the fouls i' go right back to tryi there he is short roll the middle of the floor Good Help by Adams great hands from Adams BYU's bench thought he bounced it on the Baseline he did not and the Cougars take it right back Johnson stepped in the passing Lane Robinson pulls it hits it for three two-point Game Time Out Bill [Applause] self we were asking for him to get going and he has responded and then treor I think has given some incredibly positive possessions and work on the on the paint and in the glass on the glass he's played The Leverage game but now Dickinson's back in yeah Bill sou making a couple key Subs Harris and Dickinson both back in the game McDow on the entry it's Dickinson versus Waterman he left it short again clear it out really nice throw throwback pass over the top two and blue has been the guy in the second half pulls it again Dickinson contested the shot Richie Saunders had the rebound it's a fight for it right on top of the jhawk beak and they'll call Saunders for the foul which will send Nicholas timberlay to the line for two Under 12 minutes to play here at the far two point Kansas League by on the comeback tra gu a microwave averages 14 points in just 26 minutes off the bench is their top scorer on a deep BYU team with a lot of dudes who can shoot the lights out Nicholas Timberlake at the line KU in the double bonus as they have been since really the 1330 Mark and you see D Hall on the bench and Trevon 21 in blue Halls on the bench as well both when Mark Pope want to bring those guys back in Debbie well as long as it's a one or two possession game I think he can keep him there and if you can get it to the under eight and you're still within a possession I think you wait till you get to the under four ride with what got you here Trey Ari has been a beast inside nice kick to the corner Waterman for three the Waterman with a wet ball and it's a onepoint [Applause] game nine triples for BYU terrific ball move [Applause] Harris for game on point but this is why BYU is never out of a game they can shoot their way right back in it they top three in the country and makes ands from down Robinson thought about the three Dickson did well defensively he sure has I mean they're switching on that one and five screen in the middle third he's been in drop [Applause] cover away from the ball foul against BYU it goes against Waterman his fourth [Applause] foul so Waterman's got four Hall's got four Nell's got four this I mean this could be the story of the game debut down the stretch if one of those guys fouls out if KU continues to go back to the line well keep in mind remember the bench play is experienced and it looks like n and and Hall are going to come back in the game and this is really this is really interesting a point in the game that he that Mark pop would decide to bring them back but he must sense that he's got to get his guys back on a court a starting back court and give Robinson arrest so Robinson out werman out with the four fouls Tori excuse me he has been much more effective than Khalifa yeah good call Khalifa's been playing extremely well lately Dickson missed them both now six of 11 at the line tonight still a one possession game all back out there with the four foul same for Trevon Nell smoke him if you got him if you're Mark Pope it's Dickson switched on the hall good five Johnson from the corner too strong on the three Harris Corrals the rebound you don't need two feet in the paint on the weak side against BYU you better only have one or maybe a half Timberlake steps through left it short Dickinson the rebound missed the bunny BYU basketball Dickson frustrated and Nicholas Timberlake 0 for five he's not made a field goal but he has been able to get to the free throw line wonder if he's affected by that fall good call he took a hard fall in the first half he left went to the locker room then he came [Applause] back Harris picking up Full Court Jackson Robinson quickly back in the game that 30 second breather now Hall great guard match up with Harris Nell takes Dickson off the bouns missed it Point Blank rage Khalifa back in the game another foul against BYU this one against Jackson Robinson Robinson anticipates the entry coming to the block and you know they want a double Hunter Dickinson when he catches that low he has made some plays out of the double team but mostly he's been going to the free throw line six of 11 at the stripe Dickinson just miss two by the way that's a third foul against Robinson I I don't think it's what they're trying to do Debbie but this hacka Hunter is sort of effective defense for [Applause] BYU I mean he's a 69% free throw shooter miss four in a row here still a one- score game checks khif on the perimeter good denial by Adams just two different guys there's another switch Hall has Dickinson Khalifa has Harris they enter it to him Dickson on the recovery you got to D that that credit Hunter Dickson he's missed four free throws in Ro staying engaged defensively now with it on the perimeter Adams against Hall hooks it out Fury Robinson saved it still in bounds jump ball and the Cougars have the arrow I mean the Hustle by KJ [Applause] Adams you got to throw that one down right there Dickson does a good job coming from behind and then the hustle not just by Adams but by BYU as well can't believe that didn't go out of bounds over there this game has come to a screeching halt Kansas has made just one of its last 12 field goals BYU for its last four both teams on a scoring drought longer than two and a half minutes good slip there's a switch robinsson you back 16 off the pine for Jackson Robinson back to a one-point game you can switch to contain or you can switch to steal right now Kansas is switching to Steel Harris Khalifa got a piece more free throws coming for the J Hawks this will be 24 and 25 for the team tonight good slip Saunders sets that up and then a nice finish around the other side of the rim fouls on Khalifa his second about this debut Kansas averages 18.3 free throw attempts per game which is 12th in the Big 12 they're going to shoot their 25th here but they're struggling to make them now 14 of 24 is a team 58% for the game I think it's a not a problem here I think it's an epidemic in college basketball why don't players make free throws what do you think the problem is I don't know if you're a shooter you're a shooter fans rise to their feet sellout crowd here at the fog under eight minutes to play Kansas by two tror right through Brown offensive foul for Kansas Class a technical then you go to the point of interruption it'll be Kansas ball underneath the basket underneath BYU's basket to tell if he even said anything I mean it looked like a big scene because the assistants ran to stop him from talking to the officials but I'm not sure what Mark po actually said it's his first game here at Allen Fieldhouse as either a player or a coach we we talked to him at shot around today he said what we want to have is a healthy dose of respect for our opponent and the atmosphere without being in awe or afraid he said he was traveling through and he popped his head in but he's never been there to participate in a game or watch a game or coach again he's part of a good one here four-point lead for Kansas 730 to play good twist action on the top of the floor nice great Harris puts it on a platter for Brown and Hall all playing with four fouls for the Cougars Robinson tries it Hall the offensive [Applause] rebound Murphy called for the foul [Applause] at the rim and you're right Harris puts it right in two hands so he just has to finish it nice pass I love that twist action in the middle third Debbie when you say twist action what do you mean by that screen rescreen you just change the angle Brown is good at it but hunter Dickinson is really good at it these teams Run High Level stuff don't they yeah they do they they are very connected offensively here comes some extended pressure Fury the Freshman feels the double floats it for Adams they get it to Dean Harris he's got 10 points when he's in double figures Kansas is 33 and two trce Waterman on the switch Harris tough shot Hall fouled by [Applause] Brown talking about that twist action now watch Brown he's going to go on the top of the floor okay he goes one angle then he twists his body to the other and no high hands on Harris he has Clear Vision to the rim that's so good on the slip by Brown too it's almost like he comes from a basketball family feeling the game that Danny played here older brother Christian did as well Timberlake got a piece BYU basketball Dickson back in the game for Parker Brown bill self's got his starters out [Applause] there for Mark Pope trior and Robinson stay in from the bench unit Hall on the dribble Drive he's been attacking the lane the last couple possessions he's been really good downhill he's been Fearless under six minutes to play back to a two-point game it's hard to stay aggressive when you got four fouls but he has great call three cougars playing with four fouls right now tend to shoot Harris curls hits so good with that Runner 12 points and five assists for KU scores here this place is going to pop tror boards it Hall wants to push the tempo drops it for now his three-pointer good how about n coming right back after [Applause] shooting five minutes to play onepoint [Applause] game T toer Timberlake couldn't touch it who's the foul on it's against Fury in Kansas and that's one and one for the Cougars they've got a chance to take their fourth foul against Johnny [Applause] [Music] Fury [Applause] looks like Bill s is going to keep his freshman in there with four D Hall only a 59% free throw shooter this season but he is three for three tonight and we've got a tie game what a bounce back game for Hall after going one for 10 on the road at Kate didn't shoit it well but Mark Pope told us the rest of his game on the right side of the box was good assist steals rebounds he has been in charge all night for BYU's offense and D Hall has given BYU its first lead tonight with under 5 minutes to play KU led by 12 in the second half Harris attacks hangs missed it Adams CS it back in jwks back in front fans to their feet Saunders fouled by Timberlake now we've got conflicting calls Jeb har has had the foul on theim everybody kept playing it goes against Timberlake and it's more free throws coming up for the Cs because you can't hear the whistle in [Applause] here rich saers 71% this year missed the front out got to go ISO to the block hunter Dickinson working against treor inside there it is right there Timberlake on the entry dickon fires it out Fury's three rattles out great skip over the top and Johnny Fury's been close a couple of times now 0 for four from outside the arc Hall pulls it sticks it BYU by two it's their largest leag tonight time out Kansas D Hall playing with four fouls saying they've won 71 in a row in this building they had a Sixpoint lead in half Bingo BYU have a lead in this game until they were under five minutes to play Harris pocket pass KJ Adams missed and Noah wman with the rebound and a foul against Adams will Waterman to the line third foul against KJ Adams one and one coming for Waterman and 83% foul shooter I think Bill Seth works really hard with his staff to get KJ Adams shots in that middle he makes so Kansas 63% from the line BYU 80% splits him three-point cougars lead strap in folks got good on good here for three minutes look at Trey fighting Dickinson inside it forces him all the way out about 18 ft from the basket here's Adams skips it out timberwick drills the three we're tied with three minutes to play [Applause] Waterman a ER for this sellout crowd here at the fog that's 12 triples for BYU 12-2 Debbie Dickson oh yes sir a Three-Point Shootout has broken out here in Lawrence we're tied again Paul's got the switch he wants Jackson Robinson he's been a beast in the second half a balance draws the [Applause] foul it's not how many you make sometimes it's when you make them Timberlake had not had a bucket until then Waterman responds and then look who's next are you kidding me Hunter Dickinson sticks it from outside the [Music] AR the foul was on KJ Adams that's his forth Jackson Robinson at the line is an 88% foul shooter the best one on the team uiu back in front by two but how about Kansas they had one three-pointer all night until those backto back possessions I think you go right back to Dickson on a block here he's in the corner now they spread it out for Adams missed it Waterman great defense and a great rebound a big pointy play from Noah Waterman cougars can stretch it here what a game Drew what a game and what an atmosphere switch on the hall steps back yes sir time largest lead tonight for the cougar they have stunned the crowd here in [Applause] Lawrence they going to extend their pressure this will be to try to take some time off the clock but they're going to back off Harris the right guy to break it he's picked up by Spencer Johnson under 90 seconds to play good recovery by Hall on Fury Harris driving out to Timberlake quickness missed it Waterman the rebound into the hands of dhaal will'll cross a minute to play got to play good D here good D here you don't need a foul yet Mark Pope barking out instructions this is BYU's first trip here since 1971 they haven't beaten Kansas since 1960 gives the foul with 8 seconds on the shot clock not the time to do it no that is not what Bill self wanted and it sends D Hall to the line he is only a 59% foul shooter on the season but he's four for four [Applause] tonight that would have matched his season high with 18 it's still a two possession game here regardless of make or Miss I think Kansas's got to push Timberlake s a three I look for FY as well in transition Jackson Robinson gets right on Timberlake they run that Chris Jenkins Villanova play to Fury still looking for a good look Timberlake's got it left it short Harris the offensive rebound Timberlake te again missed it again Waterman fighting for the rebound Adams has it now you got to have a three they got to go under 30 seconds to play and a foul is called on D Hall that's his fifth he is done for the night but not the worst thing in the world Kansas will go to the line shooting two and it it is Dickson who six of 13 and it it's the fifth on D Hall who has 13 points in the second half Deb on three of three shooting he's been a catalyst for this comeback has she's been aggressive playing with those four fouls now Robinson's got point guard responsibility handle the ball watch Harris get over over him oh Dickson can't buy one six of 14 at the [Applause] strike kissed every inch of the iron Kansas has to foul you got to be kidding that's I'm sure what's running through Hunter dickson's mind right now I had a game earlier this year where Virginia won going 1 for 11 from the free throw line I'd never seen that before I think I know what they're going to be practicing here in Lawrence this week you have to have the ability to self-correct but you have to be a shooter to be able to self correct and BYU on the other side hits the free throw Kansas in the second half is 13 of 22 at the line BYU in the second half 11 of 14 that's a big free throw cuz now it's a possession game keep in mind for Kansas no Kevin mcculler again missing his fifth game of the season got to have a three Harris not looking for his shot and Johnson fouls Timberlake so two more free throws coming up you can't foul there it's the last thing you want to do right stop the clock and they can score exactly Timberlake 70% at the stripe this season he's four for four tonight some fans heading to the exits here at Allen Fieldhouse I mean this is a stunner Debbie not that BYU is going to win they're a good team but the fact that Kansas had a 12-point lead in the second half at home and they coughed it [Applause] up not over yet a two possession game with 18.7 to play so you go quick steal quick trap and then foul they can run the Baseline and now Burns a timeout B will have one remaining I didn't see BYU cutting to the basketball you can run the Baseline you got to cut away and then come back to the ball quick foul believe it's alarco Jackson it is Spencer Johnson will shoot his first free throws tonight he's 79% for the year theu is a team 73.4% it's fourth in the big 12n you would have gone for the steal there first well I mean I think they tried you got a foul right the [Applause] way col and cool collected the fifth year senior Spencer Johnson Bill self brings in Patrick Cassidy the 61 Jr and a former manager for this KU basketball program stun faces here at Allen Fieldhouse pitch 21 furphy missed it all that's all she wrote what a game what a game and what a for BYU in their first year in the Big 12 they pick up their first win ever in Lawrence Kansas snap the j-hawks 19 game home win streak and win this game by eight
