Closed captioning provided by cbs Sports Division clark give kansas credit. Theyve done a nice job taking away the primary option for ohio state which is the leading scorer for the buckeyes, deshaun thompson. Tim blocked away beautifully by mclemore who has just been everywhere. He and withey have been the two players that ohio state simply could not account for. Clark it wont just be ohio state that wont be able to account for those two. A migraine matchup for just about every team they face. Tim the feathery j time out taken by thad matta. Alright, if youre thinkin about gettin a new truck, youre probably thinkin about fuel economy. Well, youre gonna want some torque to go with it. cuz unless your usin your truck to deliver pizzas. You aint gettin anything done without it. Torque is power. It pulls trailers. Hauls dirt. Drags boulders. Torque is what gets the cap off your beer. And only the ford f150 with ecoboost has the best combination of torque and fuel economy. Think about that. Introducing the new 2013 f150. Tim tomorrow its the nfl on cbs. Regional action including a game that matters that you will be watching, i know and it all begins with the nfl today, dan, coach, shannon and boomer on the nfl today presented by Southwest Airlines and obviously, big ben and the steelers taking on the bengals the one that you will be keeping a watchful eye on. Greg i am going to have a bit of an interest. Clark ohio state, if they can somehow get a stop here and convert, very much right back in it. Theyll maximize as much of the shot clock tim there is craft doing what he does naturally. Greg the defense is giving them a chance. Clark exactly. Tim smith over the was that an over the back . I think it may have been. Thad matta is in disbelief. I thought that was a long rebound. Looks like it might be clean but a call that goes the other way, and kansas gets to the freeing line. Clark and it is the double bonus for the jayhawks. Tim thats right, two shots for young. You could almost see that in that sequence what you were talking about earlier when the shots arent falling, even Deshaun Thomas aimed that shot. It wasnt his normal on stroke. Clark thats right. Thats what happens. You dont see it go in and its prolonged, it can deflate you in a number of ways. Tim very similar to that butler second half in the National Championship game a couple years back. They just could not find it. Clark traveling on thomas as he tried to rush inside. Tim in a lot of ways kansas was a bit of a surprise making it last year although robinson is an outstanding player seem in your mind as built for this seasons final four, dont you think . Clark i always start looking at the landscape of who else is out there that could possibly get to atlanta, and when you look at kansas theyre one of the top four or five candidates to be there. Clearly. Greg its interesting also you look at kansas you could argue theyre want as talented but i say it all the time. You dont win with the best players, you win with the five that play best together and this group from a chemistry standpoint has an understanding of why they win and thats something as a coach you feel confident about because he trusts that theyre going to make the right decision as the game progresses. Tim it helps when your senior leader, a guy like Travis Releford is as unselfish as he is, and a guy like withey is as unselfish as he is mclemore in terms of outright talent is likely the best player on the floor, and hes impacted so much by these complementary seniors as you look at the Upcoming Schedule they have and the temple game will be on cbs. Temple beating syracuse today. Khalif wyatt off the charts with 33. Clark i think he went for 33. Tim denying boeheim has 903rd win. Craft well defended, nothing easy and the free throw show continues with 61 sektdz left after the foul by amir 61 seconds left after the foul by Amir Williams, his fourth, this is a big ten conference that is easily the best in the country, dont you think . Without a doubt, its got to be the best league in america. Clark on paper it looks that way. I dont see any reason why that would change as we get into january, you look at illinois, michigan indiana Michigan State, iowa a cruisible going through that frns can. Tim name a league that has three point guards playing better than burke, craft or paul of illinois. You cant go too deep into any conference to find better point guards. Clark you really cant. Tim scott almost stripped by releford. Smith from downtown. Craft from downtown. He rams it home. An eightpoint game. 44 ticks left. Sales are at an alltime low but kissing is at an alltime high i want answers oh. Right. Kay. [ female announcer ] its true every kiss does begin with kay. Where you can save up to 30 on these diamond fashions. At kay, the numberone Jewelry Store in america. Ohhhh. Right. Every kiss begins with kay tim tomorrow on the cbs sports spectacular its a look toward the 2013 season plus highlights of 2012 including racing freestyle and a recap of monster jam world finals and monster jam path of destruction events. Date with destruction. As you look at our game reset. Yes, kansas is in the double bonus but no it really hasnt helped. Theyre 12 of 22 and thats helping ohio state hang around. Greg big picture too, clark, thats one of the areas youve got to be concerned because as you move further along with the tournament, you have to have the ability to make those free throws. Tim the jayhawks have missed four free throws in the last minute and 43 seconds and were forced to call time out when they could not get the ball inbounded a moment ago. Tim have to foul, and they do johnson. We talked about the big ten and how strong a conference it is at the top. Michigan thing that impresses me most about them is john beilein is coaching differently this very athletic team. And how about the way tubby smiths team and tom izzos have come along, not to mention coach groce in illinois and Michigan State a big win against texas earlier. Greg we dont even mention indiana, number one in the country preseason. Up until that terrific game you got to see firsthand what a performance by butler. Brad stevens continues to get his guys to believe no matter who they face. Clark they do what they do and they are very comfortable in their skin and thats one of the qualities of any championshipcaliber team as, again, you talk about today, understanding and accepting and embracing your roles understanding how it is that we win, and then being able to go out and do it no matter whether youre home or on the road nice road win it looks like for the jayhawks, plus 10, only 41 second to go. Tim clark, what do you think thad matta is learning today about the chemistry and the style of play hes going to need to employ for ohio state to compete with these guys . Clark he clearly knows theyre best when the pace is fast and theyre able to disrupt the opponents defensively to create opencourt opportunities. Tim ross gets the layup. Clark the other aspect he knows hes going to have to continue to get post presence and Amir Williams showing himself well in that regard and this game is still about putting the ball in the basket and you have to be able to do that with some consistency. Tim aaron crafts pressure forced another turnover. Greg he also knows that most teams dont have mclemore and withey. As he goes to the conference. Tim again a reminder. Tonight on cbs begins with new backtoback episodes of made in jersey plus 48 hours tonight only cbs, plus merry christmas, happy new year to both of you. Clark and to you, tim, and your lovely ladies. Greg and our entire production crew and everybody watching. Happy holidays. Clark merry and blessed christmas wishes to all. Tim and the road to the final four is officially here, and the guys in the truck, everyone thats involved in our coverage throughout the course of the year from all the greg happy hanukkah, happy kwanzaa. We get them all. I like to be specific sometimes. I like to give a little personal love. Tim you cannot say that enough. Does this mean ive got to pick up the check again next week . Greg yeah of course. [laughing] greg i thought you knew. Tim there is thomas. A well designed play to get an open three for their best perimeter shooter but sadly thats been the tone of the entire second half and thomas with an air ball. Greg oftentimes you see a team consistently miss these open shots. A lot of shooting has to do with rhythm and defensively kansas has disrupted the timing and the spacing for ohio state this entire game so theyve never felt comfortable making jump shots from the perimeter. Tim Jamari Traylor at the freethrow line. Here is the ohio state schedule and, of course, they take on all comers and in a league that is so strong, after the nonconference game nebraska, at illinois, at purdue. By the way, iowa. How about the job fran mccaffery. He has done an incredible job with the hawkeyes. Aaron white, the super soph of that team has had so much to do with their success, everywhere hes been hes been successful more recently siena before taking the job at iowa ross is fouled and thats from threepoint range by young. I love you, but there was no need for that, clark what we call a brainneutral play. He parked it and wasnt thinking. You love his energy but in that case you basically want to keep the clock moving. Youre not interested in seeing it stop at all. Tim i dont know of any coach that can be upset with his player and yet love the player as much as bill. Know what i mean . I think he got that from eddie sutton i really do. It doesnt last long. Usually it involves one quick line and then there is a love pat and we move on. Clark thats the way it should be. Get your point across, make sure they know you care and get to the next play. Greg talk about the mental letdown. For a guy that only takes one field goal the entire game. Tim to have the impact he had on bog the offensive and defensive side of the floor. Tim how many times did he beat the shot to make an deke the shot to make an alley oop . Hes got that down to a science. Greg that go back to what you talked about, clark in terms of understanding the role. Clark exactly. Greg his responsibility is not to score the basketball, oftentimes its to be a Ball Movement and a defensive presence. Clark i think his greatest attribute is the energy he brings. Hes selfless in how he goes about his work. Greg ive said its not about your stats, its about your impact. And he impacts the game when he takes the floor. Tim withey, who had a tripledouble in november against san jose state with a doubledouble today, 10 points, 10 boards and after the free throw make it 11 points and 10 boards. Another young man that played very well off the bench. Naadir tharpe. To close it out on. Hope that they get the hoop and the harm. Shannon scott on a blowby. That makes it interesting. How about this. Clark a twopossession game. There is the bump. Then mclemore playing with it although it appears that shot might have he tipped it in. It may have been too hard. It looked like it was going to be too hard. Tim no question, without the deflection it doesnt go in off the window. Clark if he knocks this free throw down its a twopossession game. Tim that makes things a little more interesting as thompson comes back onto the floor for thomas. Greg i guarantee you bill self is going to be livid because his team mentally checked out the last few minutes. Attention to detail is not there, nor the focus. Tim thompson with the giveaway foul. His third without any time coming off the clock. Greg that to me should be a violation. I dont think you should be able to foul without the ball being inbounds. Thats another one of those areas where you shouldnt be allowed to do that. Clark next week you and i are each going to have two rules we would like to discuss if we have room within the game, well talk about it. Tim thats the least you should get because you get to work with me. Right . You should each get to change rules. Clark well discuss it. Well make one or two of our peat peeves. Well make one or two of our pet peeves. Tim ill be your humble post as you see withey checking out of the game another tremendous performance for the allamerica from san diego. That one off crafts hands, but ross launches and again he comes up short, and that should just about do it. Kansas, number eight with a bullet after this win against seventhranked ohio state. For Clark Kellogg and greg anthony, tim brando saying so long from los angeles. Tim this has been a presentation of cbs sports. Home of the 2013 mens National Championship. Tonight on cbs. Two episodes of made in jersey and 48 hours mystery. Well send you to Doug Gottlieb in new york with the road to the final four after these messages. Merry christmas.

Im Doug Gottlieb. Welcome to the road to the final four, requests the game you just saw, kansas beat ohio state in columbus. Joined by seth davis from sports illustrated. For the third consecutive time in the sec consecutive season kansas prufsz better than ohio state but this was more impressive because it was on the road with young stud ben mclemore. Seth kansas turning the ball over in the first half once they settled down and made it a halfcourt game, ohio state struggled and this is the story for the buckeyes moving forward trying to make aaron craft a jump shooter. That isnt working. Quenton ross is nowhere to be found. Lenzelle smith had a horrible game. They dont have the second option and its putting too much pressure on the offense. Doug why are you negative . I have to be positive. A mea culpa a couple weeks ago i called kansas the most overrated team in the country along with illinois. You said it was ohio state. Good call by you. This is the look of a 21st century program, fifthyear seniors, fourthyear seniors transfers and the emergence of ben mclemore and what bill self allowed him to do, grow into the role of scorer, kansas a team thats won eight consecutive big 12 titles it looks like theyre the favorite to on win number nine. Seth no doubt. Doug getting you caught up on todays action lets head to Madison Square garden where the new big east seth one of the all time greats. Doug jim boeheim fresh off win number 900 going for win number 900 its almost christmas so we have to have rakeem christmas. Seth wyatt 15 for 15 from the foul line. Temple getting out on the break. Syracuse 19 of 34 from the line. Michael carterwilliams seven for 15 from the foul line. Doug fran dunphy with a fantastic game plan and they executed to a tee, getting the ball inside out against the zone, temple takes down syracuse the orange have their first loss. Border war in st. Louis. Missouri taking on the Surprise Team of the big ten. The illini fighting illini. Mizzou up three early on. Speaking of undefeated teams and an instate battle, wright state traveling down the road to take on cincinnati and early it was wright state impressive. Travis sledge with the hammer. Seth cincinnati has had trouble scoring the basketball. First half in this one and first half against xavier they were able to explode. You saw titus rubles with the putback, and cincinnati, their next game is at new mexico at home and they have to play at pittsburgh. If they cant score the ball better theyre going to lose soon. Doug they went to the sweet 16 and they have four veteran starters. A team you dont want to play if youre hitting perimeter jump shots. North carolina fresh off the loss on the road, returning home to mighty mcneese state. Getright game as Reggie Bullock helps them take the lead to get going, then they start hitting trey after trey. Seth they were 1320 behind the arc, good to see them feeling good. Doug bottom right corner they take on unlv, a payback game as rebels come to town. Texas traveling without myck kabongo, out 23 games, the ncaa reduced its suspension but they could not stop derrick nix inside, 25 and listen for the big fellow. Seth without galen bond their second best player. Hes hurt. They got their big guys going, nix a career high 25 points nailing his free throws like gottlieb back in the day. Doug stop it, stop it. Give me the top three in the big ten. Michigan. Then who . Seth i still think michigan and indiana are on the first tier together in the big ten. I think Michigan State and illinois behind. Doug georgetown takes down their crosstown rival, mern american. They scored. They
