MBB G3 Final: Louisiana 76, Kansas 89

No hate of Miller from me...He's aggressive and I've always liked it. I do think that he gets ahead of himself sometime with the 3 as far as knowing when to pull back. He definitely was rolling in the 1st...I'm looking forward to watching these guys in the upcoming tournament.

He's aggressive offensively.

The plan before the game was to shoot more than usual from three point range, which made sense considering their inside game.

Justin was red hot in the first half. Most of his 3 point attempts were either straight on or just to the left of the key. With about two minutes left in the first half, he took one from the left wing and missed badly. He didn't make another one the rest of the night.

As good as Vick (#24) was and as good as Azubuike (#35) is, the guy who killed us was Lawson #1. He had most of his points in the second half and second chance points as well. He's the transfer from Memphis who probably was the biggest reason Kansas was preseason #1.

Also, remember DeSouza is not playing right now while they rule on his eligibility. He's the player in question that has Self in the FBI crosshairs.

Right now, I think Tennessee is actually better than Kansas. I make that observation based on Kansas starting two freshmen in the back court while UT has veterans. In March it might be different.

And, to answer someone's question. This was the first time Marlin has faced Self. He did play Texas when Barnes was there.

It was remarked after VT stayed with KU that the reason they did was because they had a coach.

Gee, maybe we do, too.

You are right. There's a first time for everything. Now lets go out and build on recent performances.
