Freshman center Cole Aldrich gets ready to take a swat at a shot by Missouri forward Leo Lyons during the second half of the game. The Tigers tied the game four times, but never had the lead. A three-point basket by junior guard Mario Chlamers with 14:23 to go in the first half gave the Hawks a lead, which they never relinquished.

GAME NOTES
Fans celebrate victory over Missouri and continue to revel in Orange Bowl success
Self on Bob Knight
"I'm disappointed for selfish reasons." Self said. "It's like when Barry Sanders retired from football. He couldn't do that to all the people out there, retiring that early. That's kind of how I feel about Coach Knight because he's great for our league."
Orange Bowl celebration
At halftime, the football team was officially given the Orange Bowl Trophy, a glass case filled with oranges. Before about half the team walked on the court, the lights went off in Allen Fieldhouse and a highlight video was played.
Double the pleasure
The Athletics Department played an extra highlight video before the game started. The P.A. system was also set at a louder volume for the announcements. All of it was intended to get the fans more pumped up than usual, and it worked. Monday night's crowd was loud.

A few orange t-shirts dotted the usual sea of blue at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas fans wore the shirts as a reminder of their Orange Bowl victory.
