Mary and I just got done watching that cinematic classic known as The Ten Commandments. I didn’t realize what a long movie it was. The golden calf orgy scene was kind of amusing. I also enjoyed how every time people started to get pissed at Moses someone would always shout, “Stone him! Stone him!” Uh, okay.

I feel bad for the news people who have to stay up quite a bit later than usual to deliver their broadcast. It seems like the network could be a little bit more intelligent about the start time for such a long movie.

Mouton is fouled as soon as he receives the ball, but it looked like he might have travelled. Hits the first shot and then the second. 95-88. Boschee shoots the last three, but it misses.

Miles fouls a Maryland player with .1 second remaining. 97-88 Maryland.

Next up Indiana.

KU is out of time outs now. Dixon is foulded immediately. 25 seconds left. 90-85. He has missed a couple already tonight. Hits the first though. 91-85. Hits the second. 92-85. Gooden hits a three 92-88, but they call time out and didn’t have any remaining. Dixon will shoot two more 19.8 seconds remaining. Dixon misses the first, but hits the second. 93-88.

16 seconds remaining. Maryland calls timeout when Dixon gets the ball in the corner and no one fouls him.

Blake brings the ball up. KU doubles and Maryland shoots a quick three. Then Miles travels on the other end. Maryland ball.

1:35 to go. Blake has the ball. Maryland looks to Dixon and he converts.

KU turns the ball over.

Blake hits one of two from the line.

Langford falls and hurts his wrist.

Boschee just nailed a deep three. 27 seconds left. 5 point game, but can they get the turnovers they need?

Collison misses the first shot. Gets number two. 3:10 remaining. Dixon brings the ball up. Wilcox tosses up a crappy shot. Holden just picked up his fourth.

Maryland is looking like a serious meltdown. Miles is at the line. Misses the first shot, but gets number two. 85-77 2:49 to go. Miles fouls Blake.

Blake nails the first, but misses the second. MIles comes down and misses the a three. Collison socres inside 7 point game 2:20 left.

86-79. Blake misses. 2:13 left. Gets number two 87-79. 87-82 after Boschee nails a 3. *HOLY SCHNIKEYS!*

I’m definitely rooting for Kansas all the way now. I believe I predicted Maryland for the Championship game, but I hate to see Kansas struggle so much in a game that means so much.

Miles just got another steal (this time against Nicholas) and got fouled. Miles hits the first one. And the second. 3:27 remaining. Blake is back in handling the ball. Misses the shot and Baxter picks up his fifth foul trying to rebound the ball.

Time Out Gary Williams with Kansas at the line. Don’t go away!

Miles pokes the ball away and picks up a foul on Blake. That’s his fourth foul. There’s still a little ray of light for KU. Miles hits the first shot and the second. 12 point game with 3:37 to go.

I’m frankly shocked at how much the tide has turned. On paper KU seems like a team that should be victimizing the zone that Maryland has fallen back into, but that doesn’t seem to be the case so far. Somewhat surprisingly it doesn’t seem like Roy Williams has really done anything to make any adjustements.

KU scores easily from the out of bounds. 78-63. Dixon misses from the corner. Boschee misses for three and Mouton comes down and scores. 80-63

Dixon hits 3 for a 20 point lead. 83-63 with 20 points left. Maryland 42 points in the paint to 28 from KU.

Langford shoots 1 and 1 makes first misses second.

Wilcox just picked up his fourth foul against Gooden. Gooden completes the 3 point play. Blake misses a 3 pointer Boschee just missed a 15 footer.

4:54 to go and it’s pretty much over the way Kansas is playing now.

Baxter just picked up his fourth foul. Now Hinrich just picked up his fifth foul. Blake misses and KU gets the ball. 85-68 now 85-71 on a Drew Gooden 3. 4 minutes to go.

Juan Dixon has 21 points according to Bonnie Bernstein. He just got two more to give Maryland a 10 pt lead.

Kansas narrowly avoids another turnover. KU misses a quick jumper and Maryland rebounds. Maryland pushes the ball upcourt and gets a three point play. Kansas is now down 13.

Hinrich just picked up his fourth foul with a push during a screen.

10 minutes to go, 68-55 Kansas. MD just hit another two. 70-55. Collison scores. I’m starting to feel bad for Kansas. 72-59 with 9 minutes left.

Maryland owns the boards and picks up another tip in. 74-59
Rebound foul on Langford. Mouton hits both free throws.

Collison is at the line now he goes two for two. 78-61 7:30 remaining.

Maryland goes zone and Kansas hits a 3 pointer. Blake answers at the other end. 63-55 Maryland.

Holden tries to take the charge, but his yell and flop are ignored. Collison misses and tips the ball out of bounds.
