GAME TO REMEMBER
Until further notice, Saturday's matchup with TCU will be known as "The Wiggins Game," the night when the Kansas freshman couldn't be stopped. Wiggins took 13 shots and scored 27 points while continuing to play stellar defense. He attacked and succeeded with ease.
Wiggins
UNSUNG HERO
When the scoring onslaught began it was only a matter of time before Selden joined in. Selden's 12 points, three rebounds and four assists weren't flashy, but he clearly found his rhythm in Fort Worth, Texas, Kansas plays its best when Selden can contribute across the board.
Selden Jr.
Ellis didn't have a terrible game — he scored eight points and grabbed 14 boards. But like the last time Kansas played at TCU, the shots just didn't fall for the sophomore. Ellis shot 2-8 from the floor but a few unlucky bounces became the difference from a great night on both sides of the floor.

NOTES
Kansas' 91 points are the most that TCU has surrendered this season and marks the first time the Jayhawks have tallied two 90-point outings on the road in conference play in the Bill Self era (90 at Oklahoma; 91 at TCU).
The 53 first-half points marked the most on the road in a regular season conference game since tallying the same total at Baylor on Jan.17,2011.

First Half
PRIME PLAYS
19:39 - Joel Embiid made two free throws as Kansas took its first lead against Texas Christian on its home court — a lead the Jayhawks would never give up.
19:07 - Andrew Wiggins made a mid-range jumper to kick off his hot-shooting night. A streaky shooter, Wiggins made his first three shots, which paved the way for his career-high 27 points.
1:01 - Here's a play you won't see too often: a seven-footer steals the ball, drives the length of the court and nearly finishes with a driving layup. Embiid got fouled on the play and converted his two free throws.
