MEN'S BASKETBALL
Andrew Wiggins' top five moments at Kansas
BRIAN HILLIX sports@kansan.com
1. MONEY IN MORGANTOWN
1. MURKEY IN MURGANTOWN
Breaks 40-point barrier, nearly leads Kansas to epic comeback against West Virginia
Facing a 25-point deficit in the second half, Wiggins almost single-handedly cut the deficit to four in the last minute of the team's last regular season game in Morgantown on March 8. He set a Kansas freshman record with 41 points on 12-for-18 shooting and 15 for 19 from the free-throw line. On a day his teammates were struggling, Wiggins elevated his play to a new level, leading the team in points (41), rebounds (8), assists (2), steals (5) and blocks (4). The 41 points are the most scored in a game by a Kansas player since 1991.
2. ELOQUENT ENCORE
Tallies 30 points, hits clutch shot in regulation to lead Kansas past Oklahoma State
Wiggins set another Kansas freshman record — the most points scored by a KU freshman in a Big 12 postseason game — in the team's next game, scoring 30 points in an overtime win in the quarterfinal of the Big 12 Tournament on March 13. With Kansas down two and a
minute remaining, Wiggins hit a timely baseline jumper to tie the game and help send it into overtime. He also chipped in eight rebounds and three steals and played every minute of the game (45). Overlooked was his defense as he guarded Markel Brown — one of the Big 12's leading scorers — and held him to 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting.
3. FIERY FINISH
Wiggins gets the last laugh against Duke's Jabari Parker
In a much-hyped game on Nov. 12 featuring the top two players in the Class of 2013, Wiggins overcame foul trouble to score 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting, with 16 points coming in the second half. Up by two with a minute and a half remaining, Wiggins hit an impressive step-back jumper followed by a dunk off a Perry Ellis steal to push the Kansas lead to six and secure a 94-83 Kansas victory. Guarding Parker late in the game, Wiggins was a major reason he went scoreless in the last five minutes. Parker ended with 27 points on the night, but Wiggins stole the show when it mattered most.
4. USING HIS HEIGHT ADVANTAGE Logs monster double-double at Iowa State
Playing in one of the toughest road environments in college basketball, Wiggins didn't appear to be intimidated playing inside Hilton Coliseum on Jan. 13. He finished with 17 points and grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds — one rebound shy of a Kansas freshman record set by Eric Chenowith in 1998. Late in the first half, Wiggins had as many rebounds as Iowa State did as a team and would finish with 12 first-half rebounds. He helped Kansas outrebound Iowa State by 17 (53 to 36) as the Jayhawks won 77-70.
5. CATCHING FIRE
5. CATCHING FIRE
Scores 56 points in two-game Big
12 stretch
Since tallying 26 points against Florida on Dec. 10, Wiggins had cooled off a bit, averaging less than 14 points in his next nine games. He stepped out of that funk in two games, scoring 27 points on the road against Texas Christian University on Jan. 25 and 29 points at home against Iowa State just four days later — both Kansas wins. He shot efficiently, shooting 62 percent from the field, making 6 of 10 3-point attempts and making 14 of 16 free throws in the two-game stretch.
