Self told the Jayhawks that if they calmed down and played defense, they could cut their deficit to seven or eight points at halftime. Collins
For Self, this was hard to watch.
He didn't like the looks on his players' faces. Their defensive inability frustrated him. Self called a timeout.
"We were letting them totally dictate what was going on out there," Self said. "It's one thing to not play well, but another thing to let it happen. We were letting it happen."
They both underestimated. Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar swished a three-pointer — Morningstar went a perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range for 12 points — two seconds before halftime to cut the score to 43-42.
"Amazing that we could come from 16 down to one at halftime," Self said.

Collins made both free throws and sophomore guard Tyrel Reed made a three-pointer on the possession awarded for the penalty. Clemente's gaffe was a five-point swing for
Freshman forward Marcus Morris played a key role and finished with a career-high 15 points with seven rebounds. Most importantly the Jayhawks went to Aldrich when it mattered.

Self said it was probably the bes road victory in his tenure at Kansas Aldrich put it another way.
"The best way to say it is, we're maturing as a team," Aldrich said. "We're growing together."
