KU Basketball: Jayhawks Score 123 Points in Win Over Chaminade

The number went up to 46.8 percent by game’s end.

After defeating Chaminade, UCLA and Vanderbilt, it is safe to assume that the Jayhawks restored their confidence after letting that Michigan State game get away and creating some fresh doubts about a team that has all the tools to win a national championship this season. It didn’t happen until the second half but when they got it they extended it to as many as 13 points.

“This is a test, the eight teams walking out of here, no matter what, in three days are getting tested”, Crean said. We defended them well.

KU trailed by as many as 10 points the first half. Seven Jayhawks scored in double figures against Chaminade. The technical knockout was in progress.

It was the worst loss in the 32 years of the tournament for the Silverswords.

Perry Ellis scored 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting for the Jayhawks (3-1).

The Jayhawks’ play on Maui indicates they are certainly a contender to become the fifth team on that list.

“Didn’t think we started the game well against UNLV and we didn’t start the game well tonight”, UCLA coach Steve Alford said. Three guys that had been a part of KU’s basketball program.

“They do a good job of dictating the pace”. Christian Jones (Arlington, Texas) finished with career-highs in both scoring (17) and rebounding (11) for his first double-double.

When it all comes down to it, IN is still loaded with talent and it is so early IN the season that there is no doubt that they can recover from their 1-2 trip to Maui.

-Vanderbilt is outscoring opponents by an average of 28.2 points and is coming off of an 88-64 victory over Wake Forest in the semifinals.

Domas Sabonis added 17 points and nine rebounds, and Przemek Karnowski accounted for 12 points and six rebounds.

In the opening half Tuesday, Kansas offered a master class in breaking down the UCLA zone.

Senior guard Nick Zeisloft scored 17 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead IN (4-2). In one sequence, Mason assisted on three straight three-pointers. The Red Storm made 10-of-19 3-pointers (52.6 percent) in the contest and dished out 21 assists. Over the years, his offense has evolved from a stationary high-low to a system that relies on ball screens. Just four other players made Wednesday night’s scoresheet.

As for the free throw shooting, that seems like such a simple thing for such a good shooting team like IN, but for some reason it has been an issue and quite a costly one with the Hoosiers being IN such close contests. We used to be a team that scores off the catch. “We’ve never had a team that’s had more turnovers than assists”.

The school announced the 6-foot-7 Yakwe was cleared on Wednesday, during the Johnnies’ seventh-place game against Chaminade in the Maui Invitational. The Commodores, though, offer their own intrigue. With a blue-tinted crowd behind them, their backcourt gave Vanderbilt the challenge they’d lacked all season.

With three victories this week, Kansas is now 13-6 all-time in the Maui Invitational, while Vanderbilt moved its tournament record to 10-5. “So I’ll just leave it at that”. “In the second half, we played better, but the first half was so lopsided that we just couldn’t recover from it”.
