KEY PLAYS
Jamari Traylor's up and under and-one at the 6:43 mark of the first half
Graham forced Emporia State guard Perryonte Smith into an over-and-back. On the next possession, Graham ran the floor and found Lucas in the paint for an easy alley-oop finish, continuing Kansas' momentum.
Traylor received the feed in the paint from Wayne Selden Jr. He drove to the lane and finished in traffic. This propelled Kansas to its largest lead of the half so far, which was 12 points. Traylor finished at the line to extend the lead to 13.
Devonte' Graham's alley-oop to Landen Lucas at the 5:11 mark in the first half
Wayne Selden Jr. alley-oop to Perry Ellis at the 17:10 mark of the second half
Selden ran the floor and found Ellis wide open for the huge oop. Before Ellis even caught the pass, Selden was already on his way down the floor to get back on defense. Selden's defensive energy sent a surge through the rest of the team, leading to Emporia State turnovers and easy baskets in the lane for Kansas.
Cliff Alexander's block and dunk at the 13:29 mark in the second half
Alexander sent an Emporia State shot flying into the backcourt to sophomore Frank Mason. Mason found Alexander in the paint and rewarded the big man for his defensive effort with an enormous fast break dunk in the lane.
