TAYLOR (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
one-possession game in the second half. Kansas State guard Denis Clemente made a three-pointer to cut the lead to 45-42 with 15 minutes remaining.
Self said he figured Kansas State would come back from its 18-point hole, but not that fast and not that close. Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar ensured the Wildcats wouldn't get any closer when he answered Clemente's three-pointer with one of his own from the corner.
"In my opinion," Self said, "it was the biggest shot of the game."
The Jayhawks never led by less than six again. But Kansas still encountered one last fright.
With eight minutes remaining, Aldrich and Collins were forced to sit on the bench with four fouls each. The Jayhawks desperately needed someone to hold them together and withstand a possible Wildcat surge.
Taylor did. He scored two points and coolly ran the offense without Kansas' leaders in the game. Taylor said he felt like "the man" during those four minutes. The stretch without Collins and Aldrich impressed Self.
"That was one of the most encouraging things," Self said. "We played, really, pretty good ball without those two guys in the game."
No one, however, would dispute
the influence Collins and Aldrich had while they were on court.
Collins converted six straight free-throw attempts at the end of the game to finish with a game-high 24 points. Aldrich went 5-for-6 from the field, scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
But the attention surrounded Taylor, who stepped up to become the third cog the Jayhawks were looking for after struggling in the last two games.
“It's just something that I had to overcome," Taylor said. "And I felt so good today."
