Parakhouski, the nation's leading rebounder, has scored 20 or more points in all but one game coming into Allen Fieldhouse. He finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds, all his points coming in the second half. A majority of those also came when Aldrich was out of the game.
"It's not going to happen very often this year," Aldrich said, "but it was nice."

The Jayhawks only shot 37.5 percent in the first half and finished with 51.4 percent. Their streak of shooting 50 percent or more was in jeopardy until the Jayhawks made their final six shots of the game. They shot 63.2 percent in the second half while scoring 63 points, which stunned Self.
"I never would have thought wed score 63 points in a half — probably the most efficient we've been offensively," Self said.
