BIG 12 TOURNAMENT: BAYLOR 81, KANSAS 72
FINAL FOUR
MARCH 9,2012
For Baylor, the third time's a charm

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While the comforts of Allen Fieldhouse were some 40 miles
away, Kansas still held a sizeable advantage in fan support during the Big 12 Tournament semi-final match with Baylor in Kansas City. The Sprint Center was a sea of blue with specks of yellow, green, and black mixed in.

Coach Belf Self covers his eyes after the Jayhawks have another bad possession on the offensive end during the Jayhawks. March 9 loss in the Bia 12 tournament to Baylor, 81-72.
And being the only team with the entire band, cheerleading squad and dance team present made it seem like a de facto home game for Kansas.
They just didn't play like it.
"They came out like a team that lost to us twice," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "They came out ready to play and I don't know what we did different. Maybe we weren't as aggressive." Baylor eventually won 81-72.
The Bears controlled the final eight minutes of the first half and took an eight-point lead to the locker room. They opened up the lead to 13 less than two minutes into the second half of play.
An 18-3 Kansas run closed the gap midway through the second half, but it wasn't enough in the end.
Kansas' stamina was questioned on its second day of back-to-back games. The Jayhawks are noticeably thin with a bench basically consisting of two players.
"We didn't rebound the ball," coach Bill Self said. "Those are man plays. Even though the battle of the boards was even, I don't think anybody thought that we controlled the glass. I think the perception would be that they controlled it."
"Baylor played as many minutes last night as we did," Self said. "I ain't buying into that stuff. If you're tired in that particular situation, then the reason you're probably tired is because your mind or your preparation level is such that allows you to be tired."
The lack of energy could have been for a number of reasons such as the game's outcome may have had little effect on the Jayhawks' seed in the NCAA tournament.
One thing is certain, though. Kansas will be watching the tournament championship from Lawrence for just the seventh time in its 16 year existence.
Self added after the game that if Friday night better prepares his team for NCAA tournament games next week, it would have been a 'good loss.'
Taylor said the extra day of rest will be beneficial.
He wasn't, however, happy with how they earned that rest.
"Going forward that could hurt us," Taylor said. "We've got to be ready to play from the jump ball."
