There're a lot of ways to lose a game. Play on the road in a tough environment. Miss opportunities. Get in foul trouble. Give up stupid fouls. Miss every three-pointer you ever take. Have the leading scorer not hit a shot from the field. Get dominated on the glass. All of these can cost a team
And Kansas did all of them against Texas A&M last night. At least, for the first 35-plus minutes of game time. Then, in the last four-and-a-half minutes, the Jayhawks screwed it on for one last push and pulled out a 59-54 victory.
Until the clock wound under five minutes, the Jayhawks were losing in most facets of the game. The Aggies were beating the Jayhawks on the glass 32-27. Marcus and Markieff Morris were both in foul trouble. Sherron Collins hit only one field goal and turned the ball over five times. And the team hit just one three-pointer the entire night, courtesy of Tyrel Reed.
But with 4 minutes and 26 seconds on the clock, Collins hit his second field goal of the night — a layup off of a Cole Aldrich steal — that tied the game at 52. Donald Sloan answered for Texas A&M with
a jumper to take a 54-32 lead with just over four minutes left, but it was last time the Aggies scored.
From Collins' lawup, the Jayhawks transformed. They outrebounded the Aggies 6-3. They stifled every Texas A&M attempt at offense. They didn't foul once.
"I don't know if we ever really turned it around, but we played really good the last four minutes," coach Bill Self said in a
postgame interview with ESPN. "Holding to 54 is a pretty good sum."
There's no faulting the Jayhawks' defensive effort, even early on. The Aggies finished just 22-of-68 from the field and 5-of-21 from long range to score a season low 54 points.
Kansas somehow managed to stick around, despite being outplayed in nearly every facet of the game for those first 35 minutes. With five minutes left in the game, the Jayhawks
trailed by just four they played at a bing their best, y
