GAME TO REMEMBER
Joel E
After missing the TCU game due to back and knee injuries, Embild came back and didn't miss a step. He tied his career-high with 18 points including late free throws and a dunk to help Kansas take back the lead late in the game. He went six-for-seven from the floor, made six of his eight free throws and also led the Jayhawks with eight rebounds.

GAME TO FORGET
Perry Ellis, forward
Despite Self calling Ellis the team's most consistent scorer, Ellis only mustered four points yesterday without making a field goal. He didn't play much due to foul trouble, but didn't assert himself much when he was on the court. This marks the third game of the season Ellis has scored just four points, with the other two ending in Kansas losses. The Jayhawks need Ellis to avoid games like this down the road.

UNSUNG HERO
Andrew Wiggins, guard
His biggest plays came late in the contest, none bigger than a lay-in with three seconds left to give Kansas a one-point lead. He came up big defensively moments ahead and blocked Jaye Crockett's field goal attempt with under a minute remaining and the Jayhaws down one point. Wiggins held Crockett, the Red Raiders' leading scorer, to 10 points on three-for-11 shooting.
