VOSBURGH (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"We had some guys step up." Self said. "Marcus Morris was great."
In eight of the Jayhawks' nine conference games, Morris either led the team or was second in scoring.
However, Morris wasn't the only Jayhawk who stepped up against the Longhorns.
"Xavier played the best game that he's maybe played all year," Self said. "He was really good and we needed that. We just kind of pieced it together."
Xavier Henry also helped make up for Collins' and Aldrich's poor shooting. Henry, who had failed to reach double digits in

Texas held at 16 points below season average

Texas came into Monday's much-hyped match up with one certifiable fact. They could score the basketball.
Through the first 23 games of the season, there wasn't a team in the Big 12 that was averaging more points per game than the No. 14 Longhorns, who were scoring more than 84 per contest.
Credit Cole Aldrich, credit Brady Morningstar, credit really anyone who saw minutes for the Jay hawks Monday night, because holding the Longhorns to 16 points below their season average in an 80-68 victory took the entire Kansas roster.
"That's a main part of our team." Marcus Morris said. "We've got a lot of guys you can go to. Xavier stepped up big today. We needed him to step up today. Sherron stepped up at the guard position and Cole got in early foul trouble but he rebounded big. Markieff gave us good minutes and I did OK."
Outside of Damion James, who just might be the best all-around player in the country, and J'Covan Brown, who hit even contested shots late, the Longhorns managed just 16 points.
The most telling defensive statistic of the nig was the 22-point margin in points off turnovers. Not only were the layhawks forcing turnovers they forced 17 and scored 27 points off them but also on the rare occasion that they turned the ball over, they were quick enough back that Texas still couldn't find a way to score.
