KANSAS 78, OHIO STATE 67
FINAL FOUR
DECEMBER 10,2011
Sullinger sits, Taylor plays through the pain

Ohio State coach Thad Matta shook hands with coach Bill Self before Dec. 10 game and said "Merry Christmas."
"I think there could have been a couple of other words thrown in there," Self said. "Maybe describing the holiday."
Matta couldn't have been thrilled at the time. In the Buckeyes first road game of the young season, he had no choice but to sideline sophomore forward Jared Sullinger, national player of the year candidate, for the second consecutive game with back spasms.
Despite the second consecutive game with a torn meniscus in his right knee, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor tossed a career high 13 assists, helping No. 13 Kansas beat No. 2 Ohio State 78-67.
"I wasn't missing this game," Taylor said.
I was miss this game. Taylor turned the ball over seven times, but Self said that he couldn't have won either of the past two games without him. Self also said that junior forward Kevin Young was the difference against the Buckeyes.
Formerly stuck on the bench with foul trouble and inconsistency, Young played his best game in a Kansas uniform since transferring
from Loyola Marymount. He scored 14 points, hit two of three from behind the arc, drew charges and energized the Jayhawks with his surprising effort.
"I haven't seen that," Self said. "If I have seen it, we've made a mistake by not playing him as much. That was his coming out game."
Young's previously unseen aggression complemented Robinson, who scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds without Sullinger to worry about. After the victory, Robinson can look back on the three toughest tests so far and feel better about his team.
"The main three were Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State," Robinson said. "The non-conference would have been incomplete if we didn't get one of them."
The Jayhawks wanted to prove their place among the nation's elite. They lost to Kentucky in New York City, Duke in Hawaii, then faced Ohio State without its best player. No matter, they held one of the premier shooting teams in the nation to 38.7 percent from the field, compared to their own 58.3 percent.

Self said that even without Sullinger, Ohio State is still a top 10 team.
