GAME TO REMEMBER
Once again, Wiggins turned it on late in the game and salvaged what was turning into an ugly affair. He brought the game within five after being down 15 in the half with three three-pointers. He needs to assert himself like this the entire game for the Jayhawks to compete against the top teams in the country. Wiggins was the only Kansas player to reach double figures and finished with 26 points, which included a perfect 8-8 from the free-throw line.

GAME TO FORGET
While every player would like to forget this game in a hurry, Ellis and his lack of taking-taking is starting to become an unwanted trend. After startning off the season on fire with a superb performance against No. 4 Duke, he cooled significantly. He attempted with just three field goals on the night, leading to a mere four points.
Ellis
UNSUNG HERO
He didn't have a great performance, but Self put him on the floor for the last ten minutes of the game. Greme took over for a struggling Selden, showing that he is worth trusting during those crucial, late-in-the-game moments. He knocked down a three-pointer that cut the Gator lead to single digits midway through the second half as he totaled five points on the night.
