FINAL FOUR
NCAA TOURNAMENT: KANSAS 65 DETROIT 50

Defense hinders McCallum, Jayhawks advance

OMAHA, Neb. — The pre-game talks heading into Kansas and Detroit's second round matchup in the CenturyLink Center consisted largely of a high school All-American and a dunking YouTube sensation.
And that was just the 15 seed.
Sophomore guard Ray McCallum passed over big-name programs like Kansas and UCLA to stay home and play for his dad at Detroit. He was a First-Team All-Horizon League selection this season after leading the Titans with 15.6 points per game.
"We knew he was going to be a big factor," senior Tyshawn Taylor said. "We knew he was going to be aggressive offensively, it was going to take a team effort to slow him down."
That team effort held McCallum to just eight points on 4-for-15 shooting. It was his lowest scoring game in nearly a month and it did the Titans no favors as they struggled offensively all night, finishing with just 50 points.
Taylor guarded McCallum for much of the first half and junior guard Elijah Johnson said Taylor "got in his head early."
Junior center Jeff Withey denies Detroit's Chase Simon from scoring with a block during the second half NCAA Tournament game at the CenturyLink Center.
The Titans were still able to score early on, however, and led Kansas 23-21 with under five minutes to play in the first half after Doug Anderson—whom Thomas Robinson called a walking highlight—threw down a monstrous dunk to give the Titans the lead.

The Jayhawks clamped down from then on, going on a 34-7 run that stifled any hopes of a third No.2 seed bowing out of the tournament on Friday.
Taylor credited the Kansas big men for hedging on screens and not allowing McCallum and others good looks at the basket on the perimeter.
Junior center Jeff Withey had five blocks on the night, matching a personal best since recording nine blocks on Feb. 13 against Kansas State.
Johnson said he likes the way the Kansas guards play defense on the perimeter, especially with a safety net waiting in the paint.
"If you do get lucky and get past us," Johnson said. "You've still got to avoid a seven-foot-one person that was an All-American in volleyball that's ready to swat something out of there."
"People don't get excited about watching people play defense," Johnson said. "but the good teams are the ones that play defense."
The solid defensive performance carried Kansas on to the round of 32 on a night when Taylor played just 23 minutes because of cramps. The lajhawks failed to surpass 65 points for the first time in over a month.
