After a sluggish first-half performance marred by 31 percent shooting, the Jayhawks rally to defeat the young, aggressive DePaul Blue Demons at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas shoots 59 percent from the floor in the second half and is sparked by Eric Chenowith's career-high seven blocks. DePaul earns all but nine points of its scoring from four freshmen, including 19 points from Quentin Richardson, a former Kansas recruit. Richardson finishes the game with 16 rebounds (13 offensive) in 26 foul-plagued minutes.
