MEN'S BASKET

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
utes remaining to make the score 39-21.
Voskul eluded Kansas defenders — particularly Morningstar — like a crafty firefly throughout the first half and made four three-point shots.
"They made a lot of tough shots," Morris said. "It felt like they were perfect from the three-point line."
In addition to Voskuii's 9-for-15 performance from beyond the arc, Texas Tech went 15-for-27 as a team. Kansas was only able to limit the long-range onslaught for a nine-minute stretch from the end of the first half to the middle of the second.
Kansas cut it to a two-possession game at 60-54 with eight minutes remaining. That's when Marcus disagreed with a personal foul call on him and got a technical of his own. Texas Tech made all four free throws resulting from Marcus' personal and technical fouls. Texas Tech 64, Kansas 54. Game over.
Not coincidentally, that's when Kansas got back in the game. The Jayhawks trimmed the lead to 43-
"You should never get a 'T.' I deserved my 'T.' Self said, "I don't know what the official said Marcus did."
41 when Collins converted on a layup in traffic. They got an opportunity to tie the game for the first time on the next possession.
But Aldrich missed a layup and Morningstar, who went 1-for-7 from the field for three points, bricked a three-point attempt. From there, the layhawks' chances spiraled away.
So the Jayhawks suffered their biggest defeat of the season, but still won their fifth consecutive Big L2 title. Don't blame them for their lack of excitement.
The two technical fouls didn't help. Self received his for arguing with an official over a call with 12 minutes remaining. Texas Tech extended its lead to 54-43 when Voskuil made both free throws awarded.
"To us, it doesn't mean anything," Aldrich said, "until we play well Saturday."
