00:00:00Halves.
00:00:01Reynolds only two points in the first half but 13 in the second pf butler has not scored in the second half after a 12 point first half.
00:00:15>> Your lead guard.
00:00:19>> Sean: reynolds at the line.
00:00:24Makes it a seven point game.
00:00:27 they have answered the call every time west virginia has made a run to get within a possession.
00:00:36>> Bill: tough kids.
00:00:40 jay wright thought they would be good.
00:00:42He wasn't sure they would be this good.
00:00:43They have played a favorable schedule.
00:00:46They have a lot of their toughest games in conference still to come.
00:00:53 mixing the guys up with great confidence, too.
00:00:57>> Sean: tough shot.
00:00:59King bailed him out.
00:01:00King defended well until fouling, as butler took a very tough shot near the arc, drifting away.
00:01:06 that's the third jump shot that this team has fouled on.
00:01:10Little pushoff there.
00:01:11Contact right on the arm by taylor king, trying to recover.
00:01:16Didn't call the initial push, which is difficult to call.
00:01:24Gonna have that on the dvd, so i can play it back.
00:01:30Difficult, not impossible.
00:01:32>> Bill: butler to step up.
00:01:34Now with a little enthusiasm lackincomes in.
00:01:41Maybe 1-3-1 or extended a little bit.
00:01:45 he's a character, isn't he?
00:01:47 he's got a great personality.
00:01:49Even if they play man to man, he puts great pressure on the ball.
00:01:53 seven point game under 3:00 to go.
00:01:57And mazzulla will put a little pressure on fisher.
00:02:01Three-quarter court.
00:02:06Wide open middle.
00:02:10Tight man to man all over the floor for west virginia.
00:02:1430 to go.
00:02:18Villanova leading by seven.
00:02:21 four dribble drive guys on the floor.
00:02:23 west virginia switching every exchange.
00:02:26 and redding gets the bounce with the shot clock running out.
00:02:29Great possession for villanova.
00:02:32 that's that experience jay was talking about, eluding to today.
00:02:36Guys need him to provide a lift.
00:02:39 just got that old man game.
00:02:41Plays below the rim but always in the right spot.
00:02:44 why are you looking at me when you said that?
00:02:49 really need any explanation.
00:02:53 how about the soft, feathery touch.
00:02:58 you're gonna go with the full 40 minutes.
00:03:02>> Jay: I can't say contact.
00:03:03 you've been remarkably cranky by your standards tonight.
00:03:11Reggie redding.
00:03:12Makes some key plays.
00:03:13That's been the story of the season for reynolds and redding.
00:03:17>> Bill: big-time opportunities.
00:03:21All of a sudden the three, the free throws, mitchell's on fire.
00:03:25Here's the one you love the best.
00:03:28 unbelievable play by scottie reynolds to get both of those defenders into the air, able to make that delivery.
00:03:35That one sequence that we saw with the tip-in that was ruled basket interference, and then the foul, three-point play that could have been a seven-point swing, wound up being a six point swing.
00:03:46That was a huge play.
00:03:48Villanova's answered the call.
00:03:51 noit's been a west virginia team that's had trouble scoring particularly quickly.
00:03:57Tough to watch their half court offense from time to time tonight.
00:04:00They have to score quickly.
00:04:02Down by 9.
00:04:042:08 To go.
00:04:06Ebanks with the ball.
00:04:07 not a team that attacks off the dribble.
00:04:12Oh.
00:04:12>> Sean: fouled.
00:04:15Chance for four!
00:04:16Fouled another shooter in the act.
00:04:19 the other one I can understand.
00:04:23The discharge on butler and now you're attacking.
00:04:25This one, you jump out.
00:04:27But you never go into the man.
00:04:33 how many time doss they have to do this?
00:04:35That's the third point shooter villanova has fouled.
00:04:38The fourth jump shooter.
00:04:43>> Sean: mitchell at the line.
00:04:4877%.
00:04:48Shot just 13 all year.
00:04:50Mazzulla back in for defense.
00:04:52What a turn of events that is.
00:04:55Nine down to five.
00:04:58>> Jay: huge momentum swing.
00:05:01 very much still in this game.
00:05:04Fisher guarded by mazzulla.
00:05:06Again, villanova trying to spread the half court.
00:05:10>> Bill: ebanks is on reynolds.
00:05:12If he can get it out far enough, might be able to do some damage.
00:05:20>> Sean: 15 on the clock.
00:05:21Another driving layup for corey stokes.
00:05:24>> Bill: boy, that dribble.
00:05:26Perfect co compliment to your offense.
00:05:32>> Sean: avoids the charge.
00:05:35Mazzulla came over.
00:05:36 butler little frustrated.
00:05:38>> Sean: reynolds the rebound.
00:05:431:10 To go.
00:05:45lead for vil fo va, as they have defeated west virginia.
00:05:52Small lineup.
00:05:56Villanova's about 12 on the glass.
00:05:58 such a tough competitive group.
00:06:00They don't mind taking it on the chin.
00:06:02They overcome mistakes, closeouts, fouls, body control as you eluded to.
00:06:07Mazzulla trying to offer it up.
00:06:09So many times, they do damage, by creating.
00:06:14 now reynolds and many of the fans heading for the exits here at the wvu coliseum.
00:06:23 scottie reynolds came up with 36.
00:06:26Struggled mightedly against west virginia throughout his career.
00:06:30Two points in the first half.
00:06:3216 Thus far with another free throw to go in the second half.
00:06:39We were with jay wright.
00:06:40He rattled off four games in which reynolds faced huge plays in the final second.
00:06:46Said without scottie reynolds we would have lost all four of those games.
00:06:51>> Sean: he provides the lift.
00:06:52Anything necessary.
00:06:59Mitchell takes a very tough three.
00:07:00Very well defended by armwood.
00:07:03Foul on the reboungd action on reggie redding of villanova.
00:07:09Let's take a look at who delivered, brought to you by tela flora.
00:07:15Scottie reynolds delivered again after the difficult first half.
00:07:1817 Second half points to help hold off a couple of west virginia rallies.
00:07:25 when you're there a few years like he, is you understand it's a long time.
00:07:30You play under control.
00:07:31First half, didn't force any issues.
00:07:33Let the flow dictate what he was going to do.
00:07:37That relationship there certainly has blossomed into what jay wants to do.
00:07:44>> Jay: trustworthy player.
00:07:46Somebody jay wright can put on the floor.
00:07:47Knows exactly what he wants.
00:07:49So much more under control.
00:07:51When was the last time we saw him take a bad shot?
00:07:56 I remember the first couple years.
00:07:58Get in the lane, try to get a foul.
00:08:00Chris wouldn't get the whistle.
00:08:01Just checking on who is shooting, I'm sure.
00:08:06Looks like ebanks to me.
00:08:08 redding right in the middle there, called for the shove.
00:08:16>> Jay: they called redding.
00:08:18Could have called a lot of pushes.
00:08:21Sutton pushed ebanks right under the basket.
00:08:24 this game tells you a lot about villanova.
00:08:27>> Bill: lot of mistakes.
00:08:29Got the other team into the flow.
00:08:31Still resilient enough, tough enough to combat it.
00:08:36 couple mints away from kansas at texas.
00:08:48Kevin jones a 70% free-throw shooter.
00:08:52 you mentioned it, the fans were terrific here.
00:08:56>> Jay: to be commended.
00:08:58 maybe something good comes out of a terrible situation.
00:09:08Nobody wants to see anybody hurt.
00:09:10Support your team.
00:09:13Do it in a classy fashion.
00:09:15They will be delighted.
00:09:17 with everything except the result.
00:09:18 powers in for the offensive rebound.
00:09:21Typical west virginia team.
00:09:23They're going battle all the way to the end.
00:09:257 to go.
00:09:32One of the best free throw shooting teams.
00:09:34 the clock ran on them at home.
00:09:4175% Come crunch time the better ones, this keeps running on the clock.
00:09:52We'll see.
00:09:54 should be around 45 perhaps.
00:10:04 this is a really tough stretch villanova's got.
00:10:07Game at georgetown, obviously very difficult to win because tla got blown out.
00:10:11This is a tough place to win.
00:10:14To come away with a win here.
00:10:16To be 1-1 on this very difficult road trip with all the snow and all the difficulty.
00:10:21Wouldn't you call that a success?
00:10:25 great weekend, no question.
00:10:29 nothing wrong with that.
00:10:30You mentioned some very tough games left.
00:10:32They have connecticut on the next big monday.
00:10:38Pittsburgh, syracuse, cincinnati.
00:10:41Then west virginia the last saturday of the regular season.
00:10:44They know they have a lot of their toughest games still to come.
00:10:48This will keep them in that first prays tie with syracuse.
00:10:52They will both with 10-1 assuming this seven point lead is protected.
00:10:57 do you know what makes them so tough?
00:10:59There are so many guys who can respond and be part of the ammunition.
00:11:05They can lay off, when you need them to step up, they can step up.
00:11:14 seven different players averaging 8 points or better.
00:11:17Plenty of depth.
00:11:17Lot of depth that includes young players that are getting ber and better and better as the year goes along, including that young man, isaiah armwood.
00:11:26Particularly the first half.
00:11:28Was outstanding off the bench.
00:11:29 I think there's a lot of responsibility on antonio pena this season.
00:11:32He has to stay in games because he's one of the only guys that is a reliable interior scorer that is a really reliable interior defender.
00:11:41I think he is a vital cog in this villanova wheel going into the ncaa tournament.
00:11:55 reynolds trying to get the call.
00:11:57Bodies deflected.
00:11:58Didn't get it.
00:11:59Eight point game.
00:12:0030 Seconds to go.
00:12:05After having their 11 game winning streak snapped saturday at washington against georgetown, very impressive win tone for villanova, barring catastrophe here in the final half minute.
00:12:18Truck bryant slipped a little bit as he hoisted that shot from the free-throw line.
00:12:23And ebanks the bucket.
00:12:24Time-out called by west virginia.
00:12:27 using the clock, doing it wisely, quick scorers, offensive rebounding.
00:12:33You mentioned earlier off air, not the type of game for him.
00:12:40As the kids call him.
00:12:44 both teams have used ten players tonight.
00:12:47We showed you the upcoming schedule for villanova.
00:12:51Let's take a look at what's ahead for west virginia.
00:12:55They go back into pittsburgh.
00:12:57They had that game with all the controversy of the fan behavior here last wednesday.
00:13:02At pittsburgh.
00:13:03At providence.
00:13:05That won't be be an easy one.
00:13:07Seton hall, uconn.
00:13:09Cincinnati.
00:13:10Georgetown right here in morgantown.
00:13:13Mentioned at villanova to close out the regular season.
00:13:16We say they're tough, too.
00:13:18Every schedule you look at tough because there's so many good teams in the league.
00:13:22>> Jay: no question.
00:13:23Sometimes the way the games fall, if you have two on the road.
00:13:27Wine up losing to both.
00:13:28This stretch for villanova.
00:13:30If they lose these two, that can put you in a funk as you go forward.
00:13:34All of a sudden a two game streak becomes a three or four if you're not careful.
00:13:40This is a more resilient team so you wouldn't worry about that.
00:13:45>> Bill: that was easy.
00:13:46We didn't have sean.
00:13:48Some are easier than others.
00:13:49By the way, villanova, a mistake away here.
00:13:52They've got to be very careful inboungd the ball.
00:13:54Make sure you step to it.
00:13:58 kansas and texas are just under way.
00:14:00We'll get you there fully for that game as soon as we're finished here in morgantown with 23 seconds to go.
00:14:07Jay, I know you've wanted to commentate on two games at once.
00:14:11Tell us what's going in on austin.
00:14:15 if I could get a word in, I would.
00:14:18>> Sean: reynolds.
00:14:22Fouled fisher.
00:14:23Really no good options.
00:14:26With the ball handlers that villanova has on the floor.
00:14:30Fisher 79%, reynolds just over 80%, stokes is 88% plus.
00:14:39 looking over to bob huggins saying your guy pulled him down.
00:14:47Said okay.
00:14:52He charged.
00:14:54 he's missed the last couple.
00:14:59Fisher.
00:15:03Alongside.
00:15:04Ronning time assistant to gary williams with maryland.
00:15:08 how about bob huggins a win saturday, 22nd all time.
00:15:16658.
00:15:16Six more to tie john wooten.
00:15:20When you move past john you get the chills.
00:15:31Here's bryant.
00:15:33Desperately needed.
00:15:34There is a foul.
00:15:39Wow.
00:15:39 bob huggins is hall of famer.
00:15:45One chance he had kenyon martin broke that leg in the semis.
00:15:51Went to that final four with cincinnati back in the early '90s.
00:15:55Only final four huggins has coached in.
00:15:58Among active coaches, only coach k, jim boeheim, jim calhoun have more than his 658 wins.
00:16:07 you mentioned ralph miller.
00:16:10I lost to him in this building.
00:16:13Great passing team with lonnie shelton at oregon state.
00:16:18 they really used to press.
00:16:20His best teams I thought were in the early '80s when he had johnson, bloom.
00:16:29 you've been around bill too long now.
00:16:37Mazzulla called for the foul.
00:16:42Kansas and texas up next.
00:16:45And reality has set in on west virginia bench.
00:16:48Their six game winning streak is gonna come to an end.
00:16:52 what would you call that?
00:16:56>> Sean: towel on his head.
00:16:57 I would call that a guy with gigantic hands.
00:17:04>> Sean: turkish towel.
00:17:08The fine radio announcer nicknamed kilicli the istan-bulk.
00:17:22 talking to kilicli one day in practice and he was using something called the big ball.
00:17:26It's a larger ball used for shooting drills.
00:17:29He said the kid was palming it.
00:17:31He didn't really notice.
00:17:32His hands are so big, that he can palm the big ball.
00:17:36Doesn't look like he's too happy about anything right now.
00:17:39That young man's got a lot of potential.
00:17:42Going to be really good.
00:17:46>> Sean: sign of a great player.
00:17:48Tonight when he didn't have much going with him, still winds up with 21.
00:17:52Armwood comes in.
00:17:54Right off the bench.
00:17:5519 Of the 21 in this half.
00:17:56More importantly, he's been the team leader again tonight as villanova goes to 21-2 overall, 10-1 in the big east.
00:18:04Tied with syracuse atop the conference.
00:18:07Now they have a two game spread over everybody else in the big east.
00:18:15>> Bill: they prepare for him.
00:18:16Still able to achieve.
00:18:18>> Sean: 82-75 is the final.
00:18:21Coming up next in seconds.
00:18:25Captions paid for by espn captions by captionmax >> Bob: I think that collins obviously made it.
00:18:57I also think it was tipped up on the glass.
00:19:01>> Brent: The official ruled that.
00:19:04No question about that.
00:19:057-5.
00:19:06You can take a look at the standings as you do of course the jayhawks ranked number one in the nation.
00:19:11Texas has lost four of its last six games.
00:19:13That came after they were ranked number one.
00:19:16Now, the story of the longhorns, johnson for a start instead of mason.
00:19:24Mason started 58 consecutive games.
00:19:27Pittman has the ball knocked away and out of bounds.
00:19:29To the jayhawks.
00:19:32>> Bob: There was an example of the kansas double team really working well.
00:19:35They got in to pittman, they blocked his vision.
00:19:37They didn't really give him a chance to get the ball anywhere.
00:19:40So the kansas double team right now is 1-1.
00:19:49>> Brent: Mason 17 consecutive starts.
00:19:54He was just not producing.
00:19:57Al bitch first hook shot is short.
00:19:58Here is collins with the jayhawks off the dribble drive.
00:20:02Pull up j.
00:20:11>> Bob: At this point I'm really impressed with the approach that texas has.
00:20:20How tough they're playing defensively.
00:20:24And the ball and player movement they have.
00:20:26This is the best I've seen texas play.
00:20:29At least in this kind of game.
00:20:32It has been a really good start.
00:20:39>> Brent: They get pittman an early break here.
00:20:4128 mark in the first half.
00:20:43Marcus morris and one.
00:20:56>> Bob: Morris gets the ball all alone on the post.
00:20:59The help is moving but he goes up with the shot.
00:21:03That results in the foul.
00:21:15Completes the three-point play.
00:21:16Let's take a look at what happened to pill man as he was going out of bounds.
00:21:22May have run in to a chair over there on that side.
00:21:26Looked like -- very awkward step as he goes off the sideline here in the early going.
00:21:32Bradley the freshman handling the ball for the horns.
00:21:38James fronted, bradley coming in is fouled.
00:21:41Our officials here tonight, scott, tom and doug.
00:21:48>> Bob: Bradley took advantage that have open lane along the baseline.
00:21:51That is the absolute best play to attack the bucket on a drive.
00:22:06Watching the number one team in the nation.
00:22:08The jayhawks after losing to tennessee they won eight in a row.
00:22:16>> Bob: Brown is a kid that rick barnes really likes.
00:22:18He can bring himself adjust to the athletic ability and the strength of college players.
00:22:27>> Brent: Again, james' second three of the night off to a hot start and morning regain the lead.
00:22:35>> Bob: James is open on both of THE 3s.
00:22:37He had really good footwork.
00:22:48>> Brent: Sherron collins on top.
00:22:53Damion james, the leader for the horns.
00:22:58..............

00:24:58>> Brent: We welcome you to the espn's big monday presented by bud light.
00:25:01Part of rivalry week presented by cisco on espn, texas with an early lead on the number one team in the country, the kansas jayhawks.
00:25:09Welcome everybody with bob knight and holly rowe.
00:25:11Here is the truth, folks.
00:25:12When I used to cover indiana basketball and coach knight was there, I always made sure that billy packer or dick vitale went in to see the coach before the game.
00:25:21I wasn't an easy conversation.
00:25:23I sent you in to see bill self, did you see any difference, mr. knight?
00:25:27>> Bob: I was lot more impressed with how calm bill was yet how much he was in to the preparation of the game.
00:25:33But how relaxed he was as opposed to my calmness and relaxation prior to a game.
00:25:39Far more impressed with self than I was with me.
00:25:43>> Brent: Good job, coach.
00:25:43We're making him a journalist.
00:25:45Holly rowe, what's the story about johnson starting tonight instead of mason?
00:25:51>> Holly: You know, gary johnson is getting his first start of the season, rick barnes says, i was reluctant to do this.
00:25:56But.
00:25:57>> Jessica: On the bench to start the game because of everything he has meant for texas basketball.
00:26:01He's a senior and our heartbeat.
00:26:03Problems he just wasn't scoring, he was shooting 18% from the three-point line.
00:26:07And just about three points a game.
00:26:10Allowing teams to sag off him and not pay attention to him defensively they insert gary johnson who already seen him be aggressive on offense.
00:26:18They need to make him be guarded by kansas and occupy a defender.
00:26:23>> Brent: He stays out there, this texas zone right now.
00:26:26And firing against it is the freshman.
00:26:31Johnson posted his second double-double of the year on saturday at oklahoma.
00:26:37>> Bob: When you set up in a zone like texas did, if they don't score against it the first time it's not a bad idea to use it the second time and make them score against it.
00:26:46Make them find a way to get inside against it before you go out of it.
00:26:54>> Brent: Ma key morris joined 22 jumps out that's a two.
00:26:59One foot on the line.
00:27:01>> Bob: As we mentioned earlier, brown is a guy that rick barnes expects to be a tremendous contributor to basketball here at texas.
00:27:11>> Brent: Swatted out of bounds.
00:27:14Pittman back on the floor after taking that little bit of misstep as he goes out of bounds.
00:27:19Let's watch pittman here, coach.
00:27:22>> Bob: Pittman does really good job going up after the ball without committing a foul.
00:27:27Texas back in the zone.
00:27:31>> Brent: Sherron collins triggerman out on top.
00:27:33Taylor on the floor for the first time for the jayhawks.
00:27:40Collins looking for a seam.
00:27:41Comes across to the left side.
00:27:44Morningstar misses the runner.
00:27:46>> Bob: Pittman did a very good job in the middle that have zone making it tough for morningstar to get to the buc the kansas bench.
00:28:13Time out.w back at your man.
00:28:16Now back to me.
00:28:17Sadly, he isn't me.
00:28:18But if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to old spice, he could smell like he's me.
00:28:23Look down. back up.
00:28:23Where are you?
00:28:24You're on a boat, with a man your man could smell like.
00:28:27What's in your hand?
00:28:28Back at me. I have it.
00:28:29It's a oyster with 2 tickets to that thing you love.
00:28:32Look again.
00:28:33The tickets are now diamonds.
00:28:35Anything is possible when your man smells like old spice and not a lady.
00:28:39I'm on a horse.
00:28:40♪♪ ♪♪
00:28:54>> Brent: Marcus appeared to injury his hand, bob, underneath the basket.
00:28:56>> Bob: I don't know.
00:28:56Did he catch it on the backboard when he went up for the rebound?
00:28:59We didn't get a clear picture.
00:29:01Here we might.
00:29:10Looks like he came back away with his hand upped underneath the back cord.
00:29:13I think you're right.
00:29:15May have jammed a finger or thumb.
00:29:18>> Bob: That looks like thumb or finger that he hurt there.
00:29:21>> Brent: He is still receiving attention over there in the corner.
00:29:24Marcus morris, once conference play started he became the jayhawks' leading scorer, this team has stayed healthy throughout the year.
00:29:33As you know if you follow the college game so critical now as we approach march madness.
00:29:42>> Bob: That's a mistake trying to dribble the ball over on the baseline against a zone.
00:29:47You just can't do.
00:29:48That you have two guys you got to beat.
00:29:50There we see a freshman mistake made by bradley in losing e ball what was going to be a good break away situation for him.
00:29:59>> Brent: As marcus heads back to the locker room.
00:30:02With that hand injury, holly, of course, will keep us up to date with what that situation is.
00:30:10Taylor loads the block.
00:30:13Here isal bitch, been quiet so far.
00:30:15Inside-outside, morningstar's three ball isood.
00:30:36Markieff still on the floor.
00:30:38Knocked away, johnson turns it over.
00:30:40Head man, bad pass.
00:30:41Gave it back.
00:30:42Here is bradley.
00:31:08Morningstar down, james the j.
00:31:09Not there.
00:31:10It will go over.
00:31:11Ball out of bounds.
00:31:21His hand appeared to hit the backboard.
00:31:25Holly, what is the prognosis?
00:31:28>> Holly: Guys, I didn't get chance to talk with bill, their trainer, but I'll check on the way back.
00:31:33What I observed on the bench is that he has a dislocated finger.
00:31:37Several teammates tried to hold him as he winced in great pain as they tried to fix the finger.
00:31:42But it wasn't working.
00:31:43They have taken him to the locker room a place where they can work easier and not put him through such a public display of pain.
00:31:52>> Brent: The jayhawks turn it over.
00:32:02Offensive foul.
00:32:03Used his forearm.
00:32:15>> Bob: He and bradley sometimes have the ball too much on the dribble.
00:32:19That slows down their offense a little bit.
00:32:26>> Brent: You saw the look at marcus morris, dislocating the finger as holly reported.
00:32:34And aldrich spins, tap, no.
00:32:39Battle for the ball out of bounds.
00:32:41It will be kansas basketball.
00:32:44We will take a break.
00:32:47The longhorns with a promising start lead number one team in THE NATION.all day here.
00:33:20It doesn't come with peppers.
00:33:21Ya' know you told me you wanted mustard...
00:33:23You! Back of the line!
00:33:25Hey, excuse me...
00:33:26What!?
00:33:27Great sandwich... Thanks!
00:33:29♪ You didn't have to beso nice ♪
00:35:03>> Brent: All this week on the espn family of networks, just some wonderful matchups.
00:35:05Tomorrow night the sec ten continue against vanderbilt at nashville.
00:35:09Purdue and michigan state up in east lansing.
00:35:13Connecticut and syracuse on wednesday.
00:35:15Duke and north carolina, boy, the tarheels have gone on retreat.
00:35:21And tennessee and kentucky saturday.
00:35:23Of course you think big street, these two teams since the founding of this conference back IN THE '90s HAVE TRULY BEEN The most dominant rivalry.
00:35:32You can see the most wins in conference history, big edge for the jayhawks.
00:35:37Six tournament titles three for the longhorns.
00:35:39But they have combined to win a lot of hardware here.
00:35:42They have been ranked, most player in the big 12 to play in the nba coming from these two schools.
00:35:48And right now hill self sends tyrel reeda june grower burlington, kansas, out on to the floor.
00:35:55And misses his first shot.
00:35:58Markieff can't rebound but aldrich does.
00:36:01>> Bob: Really, surprising that reed didn't use his shot fake.
00:36:05He's a very good outside shooter but he works to get good shots and he took that under an awful lot of pressure.
00:36:13>> Brent: Marcus morris, with that injured hand has returned to the kansas bench.
00:36:20Looks like it's on his right hand.
00:36:24Hamilton in for the first time as the longhorns make some substitutions.
00:36:28Chapman is in now.
00:36:30Aldrich will take a shot at the big fella from oregon on a run.
00:36:35Aldrich with a block.
00:36:39An offensive foul is called on the play.
00:36:42>> Bob: Chapman's offensive foul he left his feet, aldrich did a great job on the block and morris did a great job coming in to set up the situation where he fouls right there.
00:36:55Texas 2-3 zone on out of bounds I really like because that takes away almost any movement that they can get in an inbounds play.
00:37:05>> Brent: Morningstar, aldrich wants it against pittman.
00:37:08>> Bob: Got to be a little bit quicker than he is with the ball right now.
00:37:10He's just taking a little bit too much time, aldridge, when he gets the ball.
00:37:14Got to get it, get a quick fake.
00:37:23>> Brent: Here is hamilton, he's not shy, misses his first shot.
00:37:28An air ball.
00:37:32>> Bob: Hamilton doesn't have good discretion as a shooter.
00:37:36>> Brent: A three from markieff morris.
00:37:40>> Bob: Nice relaxed shot he had from the top of the key.
00:37:42Just stepped in to the shot, had a little room.
00:37:47>> Brent: His brother kneeling down in front of the scorer's table, he'll be checking back in.
00:37:53Johnson also going to return for the horns.
00:37:55>> Bob: Texas has to get a little scoring from somebody other than james.
00:37:57James has got eight of their 14 points.
00:38:00And nobody else has done much from the offensive standpoint.
00:38:03There's the double team again that takes pittman away from going to the bucket.
00:38:09>> Brent: Chapman missing.
00:38:10Balbay with a big rebound, puts it back in hamilton's hands.
00:38:15>> Bob: Balbay very tough kid.
00:38:15He does a lot of things on the floor.
00:38:18He's just not a very good shooter.
00:38:19And that takes a lot of pressure on the other four guys because they lay off of him.
00:38:26>> Brent: Morningstar with a steal and driving layup.
00:38:35>> Bob: Morningstar did a very good job protecting the ball going in to the bucket for that lay in.
00:38:42>> Brent: Markieff fronting pittman.
00:38:45>> Bob: Ball screen is not real effective with balbay coming off the ball screen because he's not going to shoot the ball.
00:38:51So it's not imperative that the defensive man playing the screener steps out to help on balbay because he's looking for somebody to pass the ball to, not shoot it.
00:39:02>> Brent: Reed picked up that foul.
00:39:11Four team fouls on the longhorns.
00:39:14And knife on kansas here in the first half.
00:39:199:07.
00:39:20Pittman and markieff held his ground.
00:39:24>> Bob: Morris did a great job coming across and doubling up on the ball.
00:39:27Pittman turned right back in to him that's how he lost the ball.
00:39:31>> Brent: Marcus tries to get it to his brother.
00:39:33Got in a little bit too deep, went out of bounds.
00:39:36>> Bob: That was shot that marcus should have taken.
00:39:38He made really good move.
00:39:39Here we're going to see the pass goes in to pittman and there's a great double team by kansas that comes up on the pass.
00:39:45Right there, they take away all the movement that pittman has.
00:39:50I think it's almost imperative that when ball goes to a strong postman, I don't care whether it's morris or pittman or aldridge, who it is, that you get a second defender on that postman to keep him from getting a good move to the bucket.
00:40:07There's the double team right there, he's got to throw it back out.
00:40:14>> Brent: Pittman, sails it back to brown.
00:40:16Johnson for that high pick-and-roll.
00:40:19Brown keeps it on the dribble.
00:40:23Markieff rebounds and here comes sherron collins.
00:40:26It's marcus on a driving layup, nice pass.
00:40:31>> Bob: Also you know he did a great job of knocking the ball down and picking it up.
00:40:34Marcus did a really good job handling that pass.
00:40:45Collins is going to do a very good job bringing the ball down the floor.
00:40:48He's looking, looking, makes the pass off and marcus handles it very, very well.
00:40:55>> Brent: Reminder that tomorrow's espn super tuesday features four teams in the top 20.
00:41:01Sec, tennessee at vanderbilt.
00:41:03And then in the big ten, it will be purdue-michigan state.
00:41:08Spartans hoping that kale energy lucas is able to return tomorrow if the spartans should be a loser again tomorrow night, and it is at home, coach izzo's team always tough there in east lansing.
00:41:23But it would be some log jam if the spartans are beaten by purdue tomorrow night.
00:41:30And of course on saturday night spartans lost for second straight time, kale energy lucas unable to play.
00:41:39Tom izzo telling media, still was very tender that ankle he wasn't cutting real well.
00:41:43But it was better than it had been 24 hours ago.
00:41:47So we shall see tomorrow night.
00:41:49Here the texas longhorns trail the number one team in the nation, by four.
00:41:54>> Bob: Bradley, brown and johnson have got to help texas with the scoring burden a little bit.
00:41:59Because james is still eight of their 14 points.
00:42:01He's got to get some other people scoring.
00:42:06>> Brent: 0-2 Here, bradley tracks it down.
00:42:15>> Bob: They're going to set the ball screen here, they're going to have to go with brown because he can take it to the bucket.
00:42:22>> Brent: Marcus morris rebounds, sherron collins on the far side.
00:42:34>> Bob: Collins could have gone a little bit further with the ball screen there.
00:42:36We have wound up with pittman -- >> Brent: Low block left.
00:42:42Pittman's there.
00:42:49Henry.
00:42:55>> Bob: Good pass now by morris, he was in trouble in the post made really good pass out for the bucket by len re.
00:43:02>> Brent: Hamilton with that quick shot again.
00:43:03He doesn't do you a lot of help when he starts to miss those shots, when he turns hot then he can really help you.
00:43:07But not if he's off.
00:43:10>> Bob: No.
00:43:10He's 0-he's not going to stop shooting that's for sure.
00:43:15>> Brent: Here comes call driven to the freethrow line.
00:43:18The crowd is quiet.
00:43:22>> Bob: This is where they have got to make a move.
00:44:56In 25 years, global energy consumption will increase by 50%.
00:45:00To meet demand, we'll need to harness ..
00:45:03.. waves...
00:45:04And atoms. but that's not enough.
00:45:06Today, we need oil.
00:45:07Which means before we drill for oil, we drill for data.
00:45:10We can create 3d models of hidden reserves.
00:45:13Find new oil in old wells.
00:45:15Extend the life of a field.
00:45:17Reduce the need for new drilling.
00:45:19..
00:45:20To fuel the smarter planet.
00:45:21That's what I'm working on.
00:45:23I'M AN IBMer.
00:45:23Let's build a smarter planet.
00:45:49>> Lowell: The first of our rivalry week show downs in the big east, villanova beat west virginia on the road, big game from scottie reynolds, "sportscenter" after the game.
00:45:54STAY CURRENT WITH ESPNews.
00:45:58>> Brent: Thank you very much.
00:45:59We are in austin, texas.
00:46:00Which happens to be the hometown of one drew brees, the mvp of last night's great super bowl triumph over the favored indianapolis colts.
00:46:10He was born in dallas, at age seven moved here to austin.
00:46:14As a senior at westlake high school he led them to the division 5 state football title before he played up at purdue in west lafayette, indiana.
00:46:23Of course, the students here raised money, bought a lot of t-shirts prior to the super bowl, they're delighted at the success.
00:46:33As cole aldrich hits the first freethrow.
00:46:35This is westlake high school.
00:46:37Here earlier today the neon sign up there.
00:46:40Way to go, drew.
00:46:41There he is at high school quarterback of the westlake team in '96-97.
00:46:48And aldrich knocks down the second freethrow.
00:46:51And, bob, as we take a look at the longhorns team they are 0 for last nine here.
00:47:00>> Bob: They're 5-17 altogether, brent, now they brought lucas in the game as guard, they have had a lot of movement with the guards.
00:47:07Mason is in the game also to see if he can help them with the offensive end.
00:47:15>> Brent: Johnson misfiring.
00:47:16Now missed last ten.
00:47:19Loose ball, here come the jayhawks out with it.
00:47:22Here is sherron collins strong body bringing it in.
00:47:26Scoop, out of bounds it will be jack basketball.
00:47:30>> Bob: Ron thing I'll throw in about drew brees.
00:47:33He's one of those athletes that had real feeling for education and the school that he attended, purdue.
00:47:39He and his wife have established an athletic center for the athletes relative to study with tutors and furthering their education.
00:47:52That's a great thing for a kid to do for his alma mater.
00:47:55>> Brent: He has really raise add lot of money for charities not just in new orleans, I know right here at westlake high school the students raised money for drew brees.
00:48:05>> Holly: That's right, in fact this was the t-shirt they were selling that got brees' number.
00:48:09They sold over 1800 of these, raised $8,000.
00:48:13You know what these kids did?
00:48:14They donated it to drew brees' foundation that is for needy children with medical hardships that do not have the money to pay for them.
00:48:25>> Brent: Just wonderful things that the brees family has done.
00:48:27Bob touched on it, made major contributions up to purdue.
00:48:31Look at the sign that we have here, playoff on the new orleans saints, of course, who dat say they're going to beat the longhorns.
00:48:40That who dat is kansas jayhawks.
00:48:4222-14.
00:48:43The number one team in the nation, taylor knocking down the three ball.
00:48:47Bob, I tell you kansas is the deepest team that I've seen in the country this year.
00:48:52>> Bob: You just took the words right out of my mouth.
00:48:55That is first time taylor has touched the ball in the game.
00:48:57And he really wasn't in a hurry.
00:49:00He had a lot of composure to what he did.
00:49:05Good steps.
00:49:06Drilled it.
00:49:07The three very first touch.
00:49:10>> Brent: Time out called by texas.
00:49:11The jayhawks are on a 17-0 run here.
00:49:16Wow.
00:49:17We look ahead now to wednesday and couple of huge rivalries.
00:49:24Connecticut-syracuse in the big east that will start it off on espn at 7:00.
00:49:27Bob, I got to ask you about duke and north carolina.
00:49:30Got to ask you about the tarheels, do you have any -- i was looking at some of the preseason rankings almost everybody had them in top ten before the season started.
00:49:41They may not even make the ncaa tournament this year.
00:49:43Do you have any feeling?
00:49:45>> Bob: First of all, a lot of preseason rankings are set up by people that have no idea what's going on.
00:49:50They don't have a clue to who can play and who can't play.
00:49:53We got to get that straight.
00:49:55Number two, when you lose as many good players as north carolina did last year, I don't care who you are or where, you're in a really tough rebuilding season the next year.
00:50:07>> Brent: Regardless, you can expect some strong emotion on that wednesday night game.
00:50:10I believe that game is in chapel hill.
00:50:13Correct me if I'm wrong about that.
00:50:16The crowd always ready for the blue devils and here the jayhawks, recipient of another turnover.
00:50:24Sherron collins like a defensive back and he's rejected by james.
00:50:26And marcus morris, look what I've got.
00:50:35>> Bob: Texas has got to move it's offense up off the baseline because they eliminate the best driving lanes on the floor when they play down low.
00:50:43They have got to get up higher to give their offense more room in which to operate.
00:50:48>> Brent: Sherron nails a three ball like an early dagger.
00:50:52They're pouring it on the horns early.
00:50:55>> Bob: I'm telling youf that one went in, they're going to be a lot of things go for the jayhawks.
00:51:01>> Brent: In watching them at practice as we take a look at this.
00:51:06This is a group of basketball players who get along extremely well with each other.
00:51:10You know as a coach, you can always tell the relationship among your players, some of your teams got along better.
00:51:16It was interesting watching these fellsa today this is a team very, very much together.
00:51:23>> Bob: Any really good team, you know this as well as I do, any really good team is made up of guys that are friends.
00:51:29It's made up of guys that want to help each other and play together.
00:51:36There's a lot of that comes from the coaching staff.
00:51:41From bill self, himself.
00:51:43From guys like danny manning that work with these kids.
00:51:47>> Brent: They got talent, henry and marcus, morningstar, you like him a lot.
00:51:55They bring tile tyrel reed and the americanser having a nightmare trying to get in to their offense here.
00:52:02>> Bob: A huge key to this whole kansas situation, you mentioned a little while ago, that's the depth.
00:52:09I mean, tremendous depth.
00:52:12>> Brent: Nice defensive play by the horns.
00:52:17Johnson on the run.
00:52:20Can't get anything to fall.
00:52:21James is back.
00:52:22Aldrich rejects that.
00:52:23Battle on the floor.
00:52:24Here is brown.
00:52:25Set three, no.
00:52:26In to taylor's hands.
00:52:30>> Bob: Almost like the bucket has a lid on it right to you for texas.
00:52:37>> Brent: Four minutes in the first half this is 30-14.
00:52:45>> Bob: Watch how they just move the ball from side to side.
00:52:48Try to 'track the right side, bring it back over here to the left side see what they have got.
00:52:54Aldrich moves.
00:52:58>> Brent: In to pittman's hands.
00:53:03Texas is 0 for last 13.
00:53:08>> Bob: We've talked a lot about aldrich.
00:53:11Think about this, this is the real strength that kansas has.
00:53:13They scored 30 points I think maybe aldrich has two at this point.
00:53:21>> Brent: Horns trying to stop this 22-0 run they finally do.
00:53:27And damion james knocks down his third three ball of the night.
00:53:31>> Bob: He's got 11 of their 17 points.
00:53:33They're just not getting anything from anybody else.
00:53:38>> Brent: Blocked by pittman.
00:53:41Underneath.
00:53:42Markieff morris is belted as we take a break here inside of three minutes.
00:53:49>> Bob: Morris did a great job going back in to pittman.
00:56:08Secret was for villanova as they went on the road against west virginia.
00:56:10We'll put it under court vision, digger and hubert are here we'll see you in just a few minutes, guys.
00:56:16>> Brent: Here are the texas longhorns went 11 minutes without scoring.
00:56:21Meanwhile, the aggies, they're showing that they can play a little bit.
00:56:28Kalen luke cuss, will he be back?
00:56:33We'll find out on the care at 9:00 eastern on espn.
00:56:35The pac 10 we've talked about north carolina everything trouble.
00:56:39Without a team in the top 35 for the fifth straight week.
00:56:42That is hard to believe.
00:56:44That's one of the six power conferences.
00:56:46Here is markieff morris.
00:56:59>> Bob: Only thing kansas has done.
00:57:00They have been slow with the ball.
00:57:02They haven't caught it and faked and turned quickly.
00:57:19As we mentioned texas has to get something out of brown, bradley.
00:57:22These guys have got to add something to texas offense.
00:57:27>> Brent: Matt hill now on the floor handling the ball for the first time.
00:57:41>> Bob:.
00:57:41>> Bob: Kansas is very quick, very active and very focused.
00:57:44>> Brent: James has been the horn offense here tonight.
00:57:49>> Bob: Of this the first real mistake that kansas made defensively.
00:57:53They had chance to switch they didn't get to switch.
00:57:54That left james open.
00:57:58This is where collins takes a lot of time, he's patient.
00:58:02He looks to see which side of r which side he goes to, he's going to be dealing with somebody that can do something offensively.
00:58:15>> Brent: James come back, drives through and scores again.
00:58:18That's 15 for damion james.
00:58:20Single-handedly trying to keep the horns in this.
00:58:25>> Bob: This actually even with a ten-point lead, this is a big offensive possession for kansas right here.
00:58:31This is a time where they got to do something to come back what james is doing.
00:58:36They're going to get a crack at the freethrow line for two shots I think.
00:58:45>> Brent: Collins slipped on that ankle, he's loosening his shoe here in front of me.
00:58:48I think just maybe tightening that lace up.
00:58:51There was a slip when he came through.
00:58:54I think is the other ankle, actually as I now look at it.
00:59:06The first ten or 12 minutes of this half everybody was going kansas way there, they were knocking the freethrows down.
00:59:13Getting to the bucket.
00:59:13Now they miss add couple shots inside.
00:59:16They allowed texas to kind of creep back in to it, at least position where they can move in to a situation where they have chance to win the ball.
00:59:28Didn't look like they were going to do that to start with.
00:59:35>> Brent: They need some player 5 down because he has been the morning offense here off to the left of the wing here.
00:59:41Brown takes it in, misses a shot.
00:59:44Rebound by marcus morris.
00:59:48Sherron pushes the issue.
00:59:52>> Bob: That was good help move by aldrich that altered the shot.
00:59:56Almost took away anything that would have been close to a good shot.
01:00:06>> Bob: Now, even with kansas with such a lead to me that was a very important bucket for kansas to get back in to the idea of scoring.
01:00:18>> Brent: Johnson wasn't ready, he still controls it.
01:00:20Bradley's 3 is good.
01:00:21With a defender on him that time.
01:00:24Morningstar was there.
01:00:28>> Bob: That's biggest contribution getting set, getting the shot down that bradley made that any guard for texas has made in this game.
01:00:35>> Brent: Yanked away.
01:00:36Here come the horns again.
01:00:37If they can get this down on this trip, inside of ten at the intermission, consider it an accomplishment.
01:00:47>> Bob: It's a huge accomplishment.
01:00:49A little pressure on kansas because they got to come out the second half and they can't give them couple of quick buckets.
01:01:00>> Brent: A time out.
01:01:00Reminder again, tomorrow night we've got sec action followed by the big ten.
01:01:06Let's talk about tennessee taking on vanderbilt in the sec step ten is the only team to have defeated the kansas jayhawks this season.
01:01:18But I think you and I would agree that the one premiere team is still kentucky.
01:01:26>> Bob: I don't think there's any question about that.
01:01:28I think that the sec is not as strong with good teams as they usually are.
01:01:33Now, they have lot of teams that are pretty even with one another.
01:01:37So it look like this team can beat that time.
01:01:39Or that team beats this team.
01:01:40But they're just not that number three or four really good teams that the sec sometimes has.
01:01:51>> Brent: Here in the big 12 there are a number of good teams.
01:01:53But the one dominant team in a conference so far as been kansas.
01:01:58With cole aldrich on the bench, jayhawks lead by ten.
01:02:0616 Op the shot clock.
01:02:08>> Bob: Get it under eight.
01:02:09So whatever happens kansas doesn't have a chance to retaliate.
01:02:15>> Brent: Brown coming around taylor.
01:02:21There was a foul to give.
01:02:24That's why committed that personal.
01:02:27Sherron collins comes back with 8.34 left.
01:02:30>> Bob: That was not a bad foul to commit.
01:02:33Because brown had got ena step on the defense and they got fouls to give.
01:02:38They're not -- texas not shooting one-and-one stop him with a foul from getting to the bucket.
01:02:43Good move.
01:02:45They're going to do the same thing they're going to leave it up to brown.
01:02:51>> Brent: Here is sherron at the budder mid court.
01:02:54That's a shot he practiced today.
01:02:56And he got it up on the glass.
01:03:02He took a crack at it.
01:03:05Well, first half trends.
01:03:07Led 14-8 then went almost 11 minutes, fell back 30-14.
01:03:13And finished on ten-point run to go holly with coach self.
01:03:18>> Holly: You got out to a slow start can texas jumped up early what started to really click for your offense?
01:03:25>> I don't know if it was offense I just think we guard them good.
01:03:26We rebounded the ball decent f.
01:03:27We had done good job on damion we could be better shape.
01:03:30He killed us.
01:03:31We got the ball movement, we made them chase us a little bit.
01:03:34>> Holly: What do you have to chase with damion james he got 15 early points.
01:03:38>> HE'S MADE THREE 3s.
01:03:38And we got to get to him quicker, he's going to score and do better job not let him get easy baskets off of putbacks.
01:03:46>> Holly: Thanks, coach.
01:03:48>> Brent: Thank you.
01:03:49So at the intermission the coach of the number one team in the nation go back to talk to the jayhawks.
01:03:57Right now let's join rece davis, digger phelps and hubert davis, " >> Rece: Brent, jayhawks up, it would be much more as brent said if not for g.m.
01:04:11First half james has 6-9 shots from the floor.
01:04:13The rest of his texas teammates, 3-19.
01:04:17Bill self has pretty good idea who he needs to slow down in the second half.
01:04:22As bill said, they really thrived off their defense.
01:04:27>> Digger: Because kansas does so many different things, defensively.
01:04:30Especially within they force to you take bad shots like we saw.
01:04:33But part of that drought for 11 minutes was the turnovers.
01:04:37They end up, texas, nine turnovers which led to 16 kansas points.
01:04:43In that first half.
01:04:43You can't do that at home.
01:04:45Should you be dominating what you want to do.
01:04:47Pittman was no factor in this half.
01:04:501-2, Morris and aldrich just really dominated the boards and
00:00:00Van brown and jordan hamilton why this because defensively for kansas every time texas is throwing the ball down to dexter pittman they're double teaming him.
00:00:09You need guys on the perimeter THAT CAN KNOCK DOWN 3s, PUT The ball on the floor, make a help, help damion james on the offensive end, that is the line up that needs to work for them or they're going to continue to struggle, not only in the second half, but for the rest of the year.
00:00:26>> Rece: This is a huge game in terms of texas confidence for the rest 69 regular season.
00:00:30Opportunity to turn things around at home against number one team.
00:00:33They need to prove it in the second half.
00:00:35Still to come on "ups halftime report," we'll put court vision on.

00:03:46Texas hanging around second half in the horns' house, number one still up by ten.
00:03:5334-24 At the half.
00:03:54Time to put court vision on the first game that we had in rivalry week.
00:03:59West virginia and villanova.
00:04:00You know guys, we played over 4,000 college basketball games this season.
00:04:04First time we've had a top five matchup.
00:04:07To get feeling we'll have lot more the rest of the way.
00:04:11Huggy bear, didn't have dress pants earlier.
00:04:14Taylor king got his shot blocked.
00:04:17King didn't score but he really made contribution.
00:04:21Game.
00:04:22>> Hubert: A terrific job off the bench.
00:04:23Mentioned three-point shooting didn't score but he had eight rebounds at the power forward position.
00:04:29>> Rece: Da butler doesn't react, here is dominick cheek.
00:04:34>> Digger: They love transition and wear you down with the bench going up and down the floor.
00:04:38>> Rece: Nova up by nine.
00:04:39Later in the first half, this is a sensational steal by reynolds, watch the two on one, reggie redding finishes, west virginia has pants on the ground, pants on the ground.
00:04:49Villanova up 44-33.
00:04:51Devon ebanks, goes strong, here come the mountaineers.
00:04:55Later in the second, five-point game.
00:04:58E banks gets it, gets the dunk.
00:05:02>> Digger: He had great game did the job.
00:05:04No butler, only one point in the second half.
00:05:08>> Rece: Scottie reynolds, pull up, knock down the jumper he had 19 in the second half.
00:05:14Hubert then finds paint.
00:05:16>> Hubert: Not only can he shoot the basketball he's a complete guard.
00:05:20Also penetrates, he got to the freethrow line ten times in this game.
00:05:27>> Rece: 82-75, Villanova bounces back from its first and only conference loss of the season.
00:05:29After losing to georgetown by winning on the road against west virginia.
00:05:33Scottie reynolds did what senior guards ought to do.
00:05:36>> Digger: What is amazing by villanova when you look at balance, first half just nine guys that score.
00:05:43Cot see reynolds had layup, only two points in the first half.
00:05:45But with 13 minutes to go in the game.
00:05:47This is when scottie reynolds , takes the game over.
00:05:52Whatever he likes to do he gets it done, whether it's assists or fast breaks he ends up with 19 of his 21 points with 13 minutes to go in the game.
00:06:00He goes 10-10 on the freethrow line.
00:06:02This is why they get it done.
00:06:04With scottie reynolds on that floor when it's time for leadership.
00:06:09>> Rece: The next level with scottie reynolds, by defender in the game against mountaineers, when devan ebanks was on him.
00:06:19He controlled him.
00:06:21The other possession 28 when reynolds got off for 17 of his 21 against someone not named devon ebanks.
00:06:32Villanova, not just reynolds or starters has depth.
00:06:35>> Hubert: That's one of the reasons why I love this team i feel like they're going to a final four have an excellent chance of winning a national championship is because they have a quality bench.
00:06:42This is a team that can play ten or 11 guys.
00:06:46When they bring the guys off the bench tremendous versatility.
00:06:49On the year they average 23 points off the bench.
00:06:52They had 17 in the first half.
00:06:54You got big guys like isaiah can get points in the paint, taylor king he didn't score tonight, but he had eight rebounds, malik waynes at the point guard position another guard that can put the ball on the floor, knock down perimeter jump shots.
00:07:08That is going to be the key, when you look at great teams, good teams this year, kentucky, syracuse, all of them have quality depth.
00:07:16Villanova shaping to a team that can get back to final four maybe this time get it done.
00:07:21>> Rece: What I like the way they answered that loss.
00:07:22They came out with fire.
00:07:25>> Hubert: They play defense.
00:07:26>> Rece: Guys off the bench laid with a lot of passion as well.
00:07:28Looming on the villanova schedule is pittsburgh.
00:07:32Stepping out of big east play on this night.
00:07:34Taking on robert morris.
00:07:36Ashton gibbs has sensational season.
00:07:39>> Digger: He is amazing.
00:07:41He blew it out in the second half.
00:07:44Pittsburgh has big east flavor, that guy can flat out coach, jamie dixon.
00:07:49>> Rece: 77-53 The winner.
00:07:50Butter this they won 13 in a row unbeaten in the horizon.
00:07:54Same deal for siena.
00:07:57The stags gave them a tussle.

00:11:29Cisco.
00:13:44♪♪♪♪
00:13:55>> Brent: It's part of rivalry week presented by cisco on espn.
00:14:01Halftime score 34-24.
00:14:03As you take a look at our cisco gametrack tonight, you can see that this is the lowest scoring half of the season for the texas longhorns.
00:14:14Fewest points in the first half, eight players were used.
00:14:17Seven with a field goal.
00:14:18Meanwhile on the order side, coach knight, I'll ask you, hubert davis said this in couple of times we've done texas games.
00:14:26That he thinks rick barnes is using too many players not settling on five and going with them.
00:14:32What is your feeling about that?
00:14:34>> Bob: Obviously he hasn't found five that he can go with in practice.
00:14:37Let alone in games.
00:14:38I think that you got to keep using guys.
00:14:41Now they got no play whatsoever from the guards in the first half.
00:14:45Bradley hit a three, that's the only contribution that the guards made in that whole half.
00:14:51He's got to keep looking until a guard gets a better feel for what's going on offensively than his guards have right now.
00:14:58I don't blame him for continuing to use guys to try to find something.
00:15:02They're obviously going to have to do that, they have a balanced offensive attack, one that can beat a team like kansas.
00:15:11>> Brent: Holly, I see that j'covan van brown will start the second half for the longhorns.
00:15:18>> Brent: He's gone back to dog balbay.
00:15:23He said we're going back to what our team knows that is damion james inside, dexter pittman use two big guys down low have guards try to get going.
00:15:34We're not moving the ball, we're not screening we've got to make that extra pass to try to get buys open.
00:15:38He's been trying to feel his way out find guys that will step up and perform.
00:15:42That's why he's using so many guys.
00:15:44Nobody's really shown that they're ready to take on that role yet.
00:15:48>> Brent: Holly, they start second half with a turnover.
00:15:50Here come the jayhawks, number one team -- over the top, collins.
00:15:55Beautiful finish by henry.
00:15:57>> Bob: That first bucket in the second half would have been very important for texas.
00:16:01Because that's really going to bump him up, get them going.
00:16:05They didn't even get a possession out of it because of the turnover.
00:16:10>> Brent: Shoot the baseline.
00:16:12Bradley is fouled off in the corner.
00:16:18Henry.
00:16:18That is his first foul.
00:16:2212-Point advantage.
00:16:24>> Bob: Texas just doesn't want -- they don't -- I don't mean to let, but kansas they can't allow can dan to score here to start the second half with with or three buck that's is going to put them in a huge, huge hole.
00:16:39>> Brent: Ball knocked out of bounds.
00:16:40They turned it over again.
00:16:42>> Bob: They have had two possessions haven't had a chance to score yet, texas.
00:16:49>> Brent: Texas down to one time out.
00:16:51Kansas with three.
00:16:54Let me check, four for kansas.
00:17:00>> Bob: Good help on the drive.
00:17:01Henry got in a little bit too deep she have taken that shot from about 12 feet.
00:17:07>> Brent: Pull up by bradley.
00:17:08Off the iron.
00:17:11Aldrich is knocked down underneath.
00:17:14He was mugged.
00:17:19That is on balbay.
00:17:20That is his first.
00:17:24Dog picks up number one.
00:17:26And not a positive start here for the longhorns.
00:17:29Turn the ball over, commit fouls.
00:17:33>> Bob: I've been surprised that kansas hasn't gone to aldrich a little bit more inside.
00:17:38That was a tough pass to make.
00:17:40Good defense on that backcut.
00:17:44Aldrich down low hasn't had really much of an opportunity to score.
00:17:50A little bit early in the game but not much here after the first five minutes of the game.
00:17:53I think he would do a lot of damage if he got some touches inside.
00:18:01>> Brent: They were discussing who the ball went off of.
00:18:05You can see this cut through -- >> Bob: That was really good call right there.
00:18:09They were right on top of that.
00:18:10It was not a good pass, just too tight of a connection to try to make on that.
00:18:21>> Brent: Pittman in the low block.
00:18:23On the entry pass.
00:18:25Foul is called.
00:18:27On aldrich.
00:18:28That is his second.
00:18:31He'll come out.
00:18:35Now both morrises as markieff replaces marcus.
00:18:40Markieff who dislocated the finger, number 22.
00:18:43Pittman is handled by markieff.
00:18:47Here comes henry rolling in again.
00:18:54That is nine for the freshman from oklahoma city.
00:18:58His daddy played a couple of years, lauri up in the '80s.
00:19:05Here is bradley coming in off pit machine's hands, saving it is balbay.
00:19:11Bradley missing.
00:19:13It's handled by markieff, now to sherron.
00:19:19Swoops in, knocked out of bounds.
00:19:20James is there, he's on the floor.
00:19:26>> Bob: Kansas is really on the brink of taking complete charge of this game right now, brent, unless texas can get a bucket and at the same time prevent kansas from scori here.
00:19:39>> Brent: Fans are sitting on their hands that's how the jayhawks have taken the crowd completely out of this.
00:19:49Morningstar regains his dribble.
00:19:50Now hits henry.
00:19:53Slashes it over to markieff who is fouled he'll shoot.
00:20:00A frustrating night here, bob, for the longhorns in austin.
00:20:04>> Bob: Well, kansas has just getting the ball in to better positions offensively.
00:20:10Than texas is.
00:20:11Kansas has had the best offensive positioning where they can draw foul on each possession that kansas has had here in the second half.
00:20:19They have either scored two points or had chance to score two points.
00:20:23And texas is 0-4 possessions right now.
00:20:39It's a nothing start for texas.
00:20:41They have got to really get back in to this.
00:20:46>> Brent: After lowest scoring first half of the season.
00:20:53>> Bob: The problem with balbay handling the ball a lot, they're not going to have to guard him as a shooter.
00:20:58He's going to try to drive and make something happen with his drive and be able to pass the ball.
00:21:04But they just haven't been able to get it in to position yet with kansas defense.
00:21:09There was balbay with the turnover.
00:21:13>> Brent: Almost.
00:21:15Get it in, james.
00:21:18Putback and longhorns finally come away with a score here in the second half.
00:21:24Theirs first hoop as johnson -- collins shaken up.
00:21:39>> Bob: He might have gotten cracked in the sternum or cracked in the stomach a little bit because it seems to be something that's affected his breathing a bit.
00:21:47Now he's back.
00:21:53>> Brent: Great all around high school athlete in chicago.
00:21:57He's built like a football player, when you watch him you think you're looking at a linebacker out here.
00:22:03>> Bob: This is a good possession defensively for texas.
00:22:06They're very active, aldrich is going to get chance at three here.
00:22:15>> Brent: That is the third foul on damion james.
00:22:21>> Bob: Looks like pittman is coming in.
00:22:22If he's coming in for james that's three fouls I believe at this point I'd just leave james in the ball game.
00:22:2914 Behind, can't be 14 behind here.
00:22:38Kansas major weakness, if they had one, has been at the freethrow line.
00:22:41They have miss add lot of points from the line.
00:22:46>> Brent: Damion will take a wake.
00:22:56[ Whistle ] could have been a violation.
00:23:04With james out of the ball game, this could be a very fatal thing for the longhorns.
00:23:09But I think we'll see the texas guards really take a look at trying to score.
00:23:15Particularly bradley and brown.
00:23:16They're going to try to take over the scoring here.
00:23:21>> Brent: Because of the violation, aldrich shoots second one again which he nets.
00:23:23That cost the horns a point.
00:23:2640-26.
00:23:2816:32 To go.
00:23:31Ever since three weeks ago the texas longhorns were unbeaten.
00:23:36And ranked number one.
00:23:38They have lost 4-6 since then.
00:23:41As brown, the left-handed shot, his second field goal.
00:23:45Night.
00:23:46>> Bob: Brown did a really good job splitting the defense right there.
00:23:49Kansas did not move to help at the end that have drive.
00:24:00>> Brent: Pittman, knocked out of bounds away from sherron collins.
00:24:02We'll take a break.
00:24:06And sherron collins a little bit frustrated that no help came out his way.

00:25:57There's a lot of nice guys in prison.
00:25:59Don't touch me.
00:26:25>> Brent: Austin, texas.
00:26:26Capital of the state of texas.
00:26:28Here tonight the longhorns struggling against the kansas jayhawks.
00:26:33Coach, let's go inside the play.
00:26:37>> Bob: We're going to look at the start of the second half.
00:26:41This is where texas has really got to clamp down defensively.
00:26:45They get over the top lob pass for a bucket.
00:26:47Kansas does.
00:26:48They're going to come right back with a blocked shot and a little break away here that gives them the first four points of the second half.
00:26:58Now, texas has got to overcome that 5-0 lead that kansas had to start the half before they can even make a dent in to what the halftime score was with kansas up by 10 or 12 at the half.
00:27:14>> Brent: Collins drives it.
00:27:16Pittman knocks it out of bounds.
00:27:18Still nine on the shot clock for the jayhawks.
00:27:24>> Bob: Going to be a foul.
00:27:28>> Brent: Sherron collins able to draw the foul.
00:27:30I thought it was rejection by pittman, no argument, he must have made a lot of contact with his body down there.
00:27:36They're going to say that it was balbay.
00:27:40>> Bob: Pittman really got up on top.
00:27:42Must have been as you said balbay that hit him on the way to the basket us that I thought pittman was way on top of the ball.
00:27:51Right there the hands-balbay.
00:27:53Maybe the body.
00:27:54That must have been called just before the shot.
00:27:57>> Brent: That was a pittman total eclipse.
00:27:59I never seen saw balbay.
00:28:06>> Bob: That's really good two for kansas right there.
00:28:09They keep it -- if you win first half and win the second half you don't win the game, how is that -- >> Brent: That's brilliant.
00:28:23>> Bob: They found pittman.
00:28:25Aldrich is tough for pittman to go against inside.
00:28:30>> Brent: Aldrich really did a job defensively.
00:28:36Markieff, now in the game.
00:28:37>> Bob: This is going to be a score -- no, he let it slip out of his hand.
00:28:41A little quicker move but -- >> Brent: Went to the left hand that time.
00:28:47Horns are in need of some fire power here.
00:28:51Only 28 points against this jayhawk defense.
00:28:56Driving underneath, no.
00:28:58Loose ball and a foul is going to be called.
00:29:01>> Bob: No, it won't.
00:29:06There again was aldrich defensively.
00:29:08Just his presence and his hand up in the air was real deterrent to the layup attempt.
00:29:13By texas on that possession.
00:29:22I'm surprised that taylor hasn't played a little bit more.
00:29:25No, he's back in.
00:29:27He came in for henry.
00:29:35Watch how collins lays off the balbay, now collins can really help inside.
00:29:45>> Brent: Foul before the travel this time.
00:29:47That's on markieff morri that is his second.
00:30:0614:41 To go.
00:30:08>> Bob: See collins is completely playing off balbay.
00:30:14>> Brent: Aldrich with a block, that's his third block of the night.
00:30:16Taylor back quickly and here is sherron, didn't drain it.
00:30:20Off aldrich's hand.
00:30:23Ball out of bounds.
00:30:25>> Bob: I then it went off texas hands.
00:30:26Aldrich fumbled a little bit and I think texas slapped it out of bounds.
00:30:51>> Brent: Balbay on sherron.
00:30:52Great spin move inside.
00:30:55Ball knocked out of bounds.
00:30:58>> Bob: Great help that's second time pittman has seen the drive start at the foul line and move to cover the drive.
00:31:04Here is a spin, pittman moved extremely quickly in to the driver's path.
00:31:14>> Brent: Deep pass to taylor.
00:31:19In and out, markieff comes right back.
00:31:23Finally the longhorns clear it out.
00:31:26>> Bob: Kansas having a little bit of trouble finding net right now as texas did through the first half.
00:31:32>> Brent: Johnson is fouled.
00:31:33Hit on the elbow.
00:31:39Markieff that's his third.
00:31:44Four team fouls on kansas and four also on texas here.
00:31:52>> Bob: Johnson has not been over the season a real good freethrow shooter.
00:31:56But he has to come away with at least one here.
00:32:01>> Brent: You said one way to solve the freethrow shooting problem, don't get fouled.
00:32:08Only shot -- >> Bob: From defensive standpoint if they're not shooting well from the freethrow line, foul them every time down the floor.
00:32:16Let them shoot freethrows.
00:32:20They need this.
00:32:30>> Brent: 42-29.
00:32:31>> Bob: Texas can really get good pressure on reed and morning star here now.
00:32:35It look like they're definitely going to do that that will be a hindrance to kansas offensive movement.
00:32:41Collins is a lot more difficult to pressure than reed and morningstar are.
00:32:51Very goddesses by texas.
00:32:56>> Brent: Rejected by pittman.
00:32:57That is his third block of the night.
00:33:05>> Bob: Here he comes.
00:33:07Does really good job of going up.
00:33:10You're going to be a blocker you got to do it with your hand and your arm, you can't do it with your body.
00:33:15Your hand and arm have to be in front of your body, they have to lead you in to the block.
00:33:20So you don't commit a foul.
00:33:23>> Brent: What was interesting is they gave him about a ten-second blow.
00:33:26He walked over to toward barns, barns pointed at him to go back.
00:33:30And he's back on the floor.
00:33:37Now they will take johnson out.
00:33:39Morningstar, six on the shot now.
00:33:44They turn it over.
00:33:45Trying to knock it out of bounds off james.
00:33:48James cut in underneath.
00:33:52>> Bob: Huge turnover.
00:33:54>> Brent: Reed inside.
00:33:56Pittman's hands.
00:34:09Pittman wants it, aldrich rejects it.
00:34:13Back comes morningstar.
00:34:15Taylor rolling.
00:34:20That was a big moment.
00:34:22Looked like the horns might dig back in this affair, but they're 30 minutes.
00:34:29James will try the three.
00:34:30And knocks it down.
00:34:34>> Bob: This is sloppy defense on taylor's part.
00:34:37James just walked right in to the shot.
00:34:39Taylor said, go ahead and shoot that is his fourth three after three you think he'd get in to somebody.
00:34:45>> Brent: First time he scored this half.
00:34:46Kansas has done better job on james.
00:34:49As badly as longhorns have played.
00:34:52They're still in this game.
00:34:55>> Bob: If they can just keep it going.
00:35:53The call to serve.
00:35:54It has no sound, yet I have heard it.
00:35:57In the whispered retelling of honorable sacrifices made by those who haveserved before me.
00:36:02The call to serve has no form, yet I have clearly seen it.

00:37:31Youngsters out in the middle of the floor, hoisting the big 12 championship trophy which they won.
00:37:36I wonder if mack brown would ever open second half with on-side kick or if he has?
00:37:42Interesting enough that punter, thomas morstedt is from s manageu.
00:37:47That is where he went to school.
00:37:48First time in his competitive life that he's ever tried an on-side kick, what a time for it.
00:37:54Here the jayhawks with a 12-point lead and horns are trying to dig in defensively.
00:38:03Aldrich, up on top.
00:38:14Take a look.
00:38:17Double team behind.
00:38:2013 On the shot, coach.
00:38:22>> Bob: You know, going to texas for just a moment.
00:38:25Texas has had six guards score seven points in 50 minutes of playing time.
00:38:30Just got to get more out of it.
00:38:31I don't care whether playing kansas or who.
00:38:34They just got to be better with what they get out of that.
00:38:39>> Brent: Marcus morris gets one to bounce in.
00:38:40Let's check this guard play out.
00:38:42Balbay, you said early in the game, he's not a scorer.
00:38:46They tried brown out here on top.
00:38:49Lucas was out there fur a time.
00:38:51Hamilton checks back in now.
00:38:53Balbay kicking it back outside.
00:38:55Hamilton won't be shy.
00:38:57Try a few passes but not too many.
00:38:59Here is balbay.
00:39:01He puts it -- pittman picked it up.
00:39:04Foul is going to be called.
00:39:12We will take a break.
00:39:16Longhorn fans are here in abundance tonight.
00:39:19Hoping that they can dig back in against number one team in the country.
00:39:39yeah.
00:39:39crazy, so we rely on pizza hut'stuscani pasta.

00:39:50Only on tuesdays and only at your pizza hut.
00:41:37>> Brent: Cole aldrich picked up his third foul.
00:41:38Jayhawks lead by 14.
00:41:39>> Bob: You know, we've got a lot of shot blockers out here in this game.
00:41:42For both sides.
00:41:43The whole key to the blocked shot is to go up in the air with your body away from the shooter.
00:41:50So that they cab get you for a body foul.
00:41:52There's a perfect example where pittman keeps his body away, blocks it with his hand, then aldrich does the same thing.
00:42:00In both cases when the hand touched the ball the body was probably a full foot to 18 inches away from the offensive shooter's body.
00:42:12>> Brent: With aldrich on the bench.
00:42:14Horns will see if they can make some offensive points here.
00:42:19Balbay, johnson, bradley, james with a pick who gets in to traffic.
00:42:24Puts the ball down over to the jayhawks.
00:42:27They continue to have turnover problems, that's 14.
00:42:32>> Bob: Balbay went in to a real hornet's nest.
00:42:34He took the ball inside, too far inside.
00:42:39That's problem that they have is because he is not going to shoot the ball from 16 or 17 feet.
00:42:48They got to have a guard.
00:42:55>> Brent: The marcus rolling it in.
00:42:56Out there with his brother, markieff.
00:43:02That wasn't just a dribble toward the bucket.
00:43:04That was a definite opportunity to get to the basket.
00:43:20>> Bob: James makes a very good move to the bucket.
00:43:22And going up where he's probably going to get the shot blocked is athletic enough to make the move over to morris.
00:43:30And over to johnson, I'm sorry, and put him on the freethrow line.
00:43:41>> Brent: Miss the the freethrow.
00:43:43Tracked down.
00:43:44Markieff saved it.
00:43:56The jayhawks have some weapons.
00:43:58Here is markieff morris.
00:44:01Ball fake, sherron wide open.
00:44:03That would have been a bob knight special.
00:44:05>> Bob: I would have jumped up and clapped on that one.
00:44:08>> Brent: He's got it back.
00:44:09Gives it to anybody underneath.
00:44:12That was four-on-nothing and marcus slams it home.
00:44:19>> Bob: Real careless play on texas.
00:44:26>> Brent: They have not protected the ball or shot well.
00:44:29There's a foul over the back.
00:44:33That's on markieff morris.
00:44:35That is number four on number 21.
00:44:56You start looking ahead towards tournaments, big 12 then the ncaa.
00:45:02You keep that rotation right where it is and bill self than coaching staff they have an idea of who they want on the floor.
00:45:12>> Bob: This is time in the year, brent, when practices get shorter and shorter.
00:45:20That energy is going to be needed for the ends of games.
00:45:24I think both of these teams are well aware of that.
00:45:28But texas has got to do a lot more work.
00:45:34>> Brent: And morningstar nails the three ball for the jayhawks.
00:45:38Holly, it's an interesting plan that self has for the jayhawks.
00:45:42>> Holly: We talk about people bean ranked number one.
00:45:47He's embracing it saying we want to play as good' number one team should play but wanted to take it a little step further, last night in a team meeting with his whole group of guys he went through each guy individually and said, I need you to collectively enyour individual game get ten percent better.
00:46:04 he told guys in front of each other to hold each other accountable.
00:46:09I asked sherron collins what his was.
00:46:10He said, keep everybody on the same page.
00:46:12Be the eyes of coach self on the floor.
00:46:17>> Cheri: Said, don't get in to dumb foul trouble.
00:46:20And xavier henry said he needs to get aggresstive sieve.
00:46:25I'd say they're 10% better guys.
00:46:28If the score is any indication.
00:46:30>> Brent: Agree.
00:46:32Ham I will son tried to draw an aldrich foul.
00:46:35Didn't get the whistle.
00:46:41Slashing through.
00:46:46When you this think of the success of this team.
00:46:48Here is how they rank overall against everybody in their scoring margin beat teams by better than 20 points a game.
00:46:56Although I want to point out that's dropped off considerably since big 12 play.
00:47:03Those numbers take in to account the nonconference games.
00:47:05Been a little bit tougher going.
00:47:08Remember now that colorado and kansas state have both taken them in to overtime.
00:47:12And that stays down for aldrich.
00:47:15>> Bob: Collins made really good play there.
00:47:17He got caught on a drive, got doubled up on the drive.
00:47:20Yet was able to make really neat little backhand pass to aldrich.
00:47:41Has made better plays but not very frequently, however, than any other guard has made in this ball game for texas.
00:47:50>> Brent: It is clear when you talk about the number of players that he uses aldrich comes up.
00:47:57It is clear that your point is well taken.
00:48:00He's using three different point guards because he can't find one.
00:48:03Knocked away by aldrich.
00:48:06A clean block again.
00:48:08Henry was down low.
00:48:09Here is collins.
00:48:37>> Brent: James has whether the best overall play for the longhorns.
00:48:40>> Bob: By far.
00:48:41He made a good block out enabling him to go up and get the ball.
00:48:46>> Brent: On the drive by brown.
00:48:50Left-handed.
00:48:50There's another good move by brown.
00:48:51Perhaps we're watching a point guard finally emerge this year for the horns, eight points now for no. 50.
00:48:59>> Bob: You know, that drive could -- good drive.
00:49:03Any time there's a drive from on top that scores there's lack of help from inside in the defense.
00:49:09Brown was able to get to the bucket and kansas reacted as poorly to the drive as they have on any defensive possession tonight.
00:49:16>> Brent:14 left here.
00:49:18If the horns are going to make a move they got to gather themselves as we remind you wednesday night connecticut and syracuse.
00:49:26I'll ask go you about 'cuse.
00:49:29Followed by duke and north carolina.
00:49:30I want everybody to hear what you tell me that you think on given night when they play well, that syracuse might be the best team in the country.
00:49:38>> Bob: You know, I really believe that.
00:49:40I think their zone defense is being played, the 2-3 zone that jim bay home uses is better this year than it has been in some time.
00:49:48It's always been pretty good but very good this year.
00:49:51They do really good job with their offense, because they can score from the outside, score from the inside.
00:49:57When they play well, which they have done far more than not, i just believe they're the best team in the country.
00:50:03The team that would be closest to them would be kansas.
00:50:08>> Brent: We'll take look at the tournament resume of north carolina.
00:50:14Certainly it is starting to sag, it's brought do you by the ladders.
00:50:17They're overall record now, 13-10.
00:50:19But look at the conference record.
00:50:212-6.
00:50:23They have lost six of their last seven games.
00:50:26You're going to see them wednesday night.
00:50:27And if roy williams and the tarheels are going to gather themselves, it could deagain against duke wednesday night.
00:50:36Here is x underneath, the freshman.
00:50:38Got it back again.
00:50:40On the third attempt the jayhawks put it down.
00:50:46>> Brent: Henry did a good job in there against texas big men.
00:50:51A little pause, a little head fake then made the move.
00:50:54Brown coming in.
00:50:56>> Bob: Drew a foul on the drive that time.
00:50:59>> Brent: Brown penetrating move is the most effective penetrating move they got with their guards.
00:51:04>> Bob: You know when he does penetrate, though, he's got to be able to find somebody that's open.
00:51:10That's what a guard driving the ball has got to be able to do.
00:51:14>> Brent:t conversation, laughter ) hey everybody.
00:51:21( conversation continues ) ( engine revs, crash ) !! whooooaaaa.
00:51:34Yeaaahhhh!
