Magic Number 51!!!

So here is the thing about today's regular season finale; it was a great game and a great learning experience before tournament play! Why you might ask? "We had a fifteen point lead man what are you talking about" you may say. Well let's see why we blew a fifteen point lead and the problem was the reffing. The referees of today's game decided to not let there be any flow to the game. By that I mean, it was hard for the Jayhawks to get a rhythm because every five seconds or so there would be a foul called, either on KU or Mizzou. The referees called a total of 51 fouls in today's game!!! 51!!!!!! Now let's put that into perspective. There is a total of 40 minutes played in a college basketball. Has it clicked yet? That's right that means there was an average of 1.27 fouls called for every minute of game play. When the clock stops that much, even the best basketball player in the world can't get into a good game rhythm. So why was this a learning experience? We found out how to overcome the lack of flow and still pull out a tremendous win! We shot poorly, compared to our season average but the other team shot much worse! Trent Tucker once had a infamous line, "If the (input team name here Jake Smith) scores more points than the other team, they will win this game". That is exactly what the Jayhawks found out to do today. They realized that since their shooting was not up to par, they made sure that the other team shot much worse! I am excited for next week as ya'll should be too! Let's go Jayhawks!
