MEN'S BASKET
Junior guard Sherron Collins drives down the lane to attempt a layup but missed on the play. Collins scored the Jayhawks' last four points in a 66-61 win over Colorado.
MEN'S (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
look destined to suffer their 26th straight loss at Allen Fieldhouse.
"I wouldn't say it was in the bag," Aldrich said. "But it was kind of on the brink."
Until Aldrich disappeared. He didn't score for the rest of the game and only grabbed three more rebounds to finish with 15 points and 13 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Colorado out-scored Kansas 27-8 over the next 13 minutes. The Buffaloates cut the score to 54-52 when forward leremy] Jackon-Wilson scored over Aldrich.
Self said although Aldrich played poor defense in the second half, it was the guards' fault for not getting him the ball in the post.
"We forgot who the best player in the game was for us," Self said. "That's frustrating because Cole should have gotten touches, if not every possession, then every other possession."
Without Aldrich dominating in the second half, the freshman forward Morris twins filled in to help Kansas to its 39th victory in its last 40 tries against Colorado. Marcus Morris made two free throws in the middle of a 8-0 run that made the score 62-52.
Markieff Morris made four baskets, all of which came on putbacks. Together, Marcus and Markieff combined for 16 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Their statistics are added together because that's how they like it. That's what they're used to.
"Coach even puts us together Markieff said. "And he says, 'You need this many rebounds or that many points a game'"
Colorado put together one last lunge for an upset. Buffalo guard Nate Tomlinson made a contested three-pointer from the corner with less than a minute remaining to make the score 62-59.
Self's hypothesis, one of a talent ed team slipping by with key plays comes in here. Collins maneuvered his way from the top of the key to the basket with 24 seconds remain
