He said it was good to see so many fans gathered in the field house.
"I loved the crowd," Williams said. "To have 16,000 people out there tonight during a break with the students gone showed there's something special about Kansas basketball."
"At the half, coach told me to go out and quit making freshman fouls," LaFrentz said.

'Average' play leads to victory

McGrath. The Jawhaves' next game will be against Massachusetts Dec. 3 in Anheim, Calif.
Kansas added to a 39-30 halftime
The Jayhawks started the basketball season much like a group of easily distracted students on their opening day of school — they worked in spurs.
lead when junior Sean Pearson, who led Kansas scorers with 16 points, connected on a three-pointer from the left baseline in the first 20 seconds of the second half.
Despite three fouls and less than 18 minutes of playing time, LaFrentz finished the night with 11 points.
Nevertheless, the momentum bursts were enough to give Kansas an 83-65 victory over the San Diego University Toreros Saturday night at Allen Field House. It was the 22nd consecutive home-opener victory for Kansas.
The Jayhawks committed eight personal fouls in the first half, including three by freshman RaeLLaFrentz, one of only two freshmen to ever start under Williams in his seven years at Kansas.
Kansas sophomore point guard Jacque Vaughn, who scored six points, distributed 11 assists and committed only one turnover, rated his personal performance as "average."
Despite the victory, Vaughn said the Jayhawks still had a lot of improving to do.
If Vaughn had to rate the Jayhawks' season debut on a scale from one to 10, he said he would give Kansas a six.
Though Kansas played with more intensity in the second half, the squad was still outrebounded 36-41 by a smaller Toreres team. Williams said Kansas would have to improve on its rebounding quickly. Next Saturday the Jayhawks play Massachusetts at the Wooden Classic in Anaheim, Calif.
Although Kansas did win its season opener in front of 16,000 fans at the field house, Williams said he wished the team had played a more intense game.
Kansas couldn't seem to connect with the basket in first half, and early fouls on Kansas' big men didn't help
"I'm just a tough grader. I'm never satisfied with myself." Vaughn said. "It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. In these games now there's only two columns, it's either a win or a loss."
Kansas senior Greg Ostertag won the tip to give Kansas the game's first possession. Ostertag, who maneuvered nicely while attempting a four-foot jump hook, couldn't get the ball to go in the basket.
The opening shot set the tone for the rest of the half.
"We just never did get in sync the whole first half putting the ball in the basket," Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
"If we rebound and box out Saturday like we did tonight, they'll outrebound us by 100." Williams said. "We've got to understand that it's not just turn and reach up in the air because we're tall."

Women's basketball team upsets Virginia then falls

The Kansas women's basketball team got the good end and bad end of close games during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Playing in the Rainbow Wahine Classic in Honolulu, the Jayhawks upset No. 8 Virginia 86-84 on Friday. In Saturday's semifinal game against No. 15 Florida, Kansas fell 58-56.
Kansas got a boost from senior forward Angela Aycock in the Virginia game. Aycock scored a career-high 30 points for the No. 16 Jayhawks. She was 10 of 25 from the floor, including two of nine from the three-point line. Aycock added eight of 11 free throws and hauled down seven rebounds.
Junior guard Charise Sampson added 16 points for the layawks. Sampson was a perfect four of four from the free-throw line, in addition to four rebounds and four assists.
Kansas ran out to a 25-10 lead behind 15 of Aycock's points. However, Virginia cut Kansas' lead to one point by halftime 47-46.
In the second half, the Jayhawks and the Cavaliers swapped the lead seven times. Kansas sophomore guard Tamecka Dixon's lay-up put the Jayhawks ahead to stay at 81-79 with 3:06 left in the game.
Virginia was plagued by 22 turnovers in the game. The Cavaliers converted only 15 of 24 free throws, while Kansas hit 21 of its 25 free-throw attempts.
Aycock again led the Jayhawks in scoring with 18 points but was only six of 23 from the field. Sampson added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Kansas.
However, poor shooting plagued Kansas during Saturday's semifinal game against Florida. The Jayhawks were 20 of 69, shooting 29.4 percent from the field, and hit 11 of 26 free throws in their loss to the Gators.
With its loss to the Gators, Kansas played the Hawaii Rainbows last night. Hawaii lost in the semifinals to North Carolina, the defending national champions, 83-51.
Kansas defeated Hawaii 73-68 and took third in the classic.
