Refs key to narrow victory

BY MIKE LAVIERI
Kansas seemed to have brought some of the Vegas luck back to Lawrence on Thursday. Kansas made some careless mistakes, not just with the basketball, but also on the defensive end and shooting.
Senior guard Mario Little sank the first of two free throws to give Kansas the one-point edge with 0.7 seconds showing on the clock.
.
"We did not play good and it was an ugly win for us, but they played very good." Little said. "We both wanted the win, but they put in a little more effort than us throughout the game."
The referees seemed to have hailed Kansas out Thursday night, who made careless mistakes that led to UCLA baskets or free throw shots.
The Jayhawks rushed shots because they thought they needed to score quickly instead of setting up the offense and breaking down the defense for 35 seconds to get the shot they wanted.
"I love coaching this team, don't get me wrong, but we stop our self, we guard our self," Self said. "When we miss shots it puts so much pressure on your defense because basically your defense had to shut them out when we didn't play well offensively. And now its like our offense needs to bail our defense out."
Little was immediately yanked for
junior guard Tyshawn Taylor with 8:43 left because of a missed three pointer.
"I felt better with him on the line in that situation than the four shots he shot prior to that," Self said.
throws than get beat on toughness plays." Self said about his team's offensive rebounding. "And to me those are toughness plays. I thought UCLA was tougher on the glass than us. One thing about basketball is you can't control shooting every night. You can't control that but you can control toughness plays and things like that."
Self also was not particularly fond of the play on the boards. Kansas was outrebounded 37-32 and UCLA pulled down 12 offensive rebounds, eight by freshman center Josh Smith.
On more than one occasion, a Kansas post would block a shot from Smith in the paint, but it would
go right back to Smith, who would eventually get fouled.

"I thought Josh played very well." Self said. "If I was coaching against us, I would attack our post players every possession. I'm going to put it out there because everybody can see it. It does not take a guy who studies a ton of tape to realize that, it's that our big guys don't guard very well. We have to get a lot better at that."
