FIRST MEETING:
On February 6, No. 9 Kansas, coming off a loss at Iowa State, 68-53, returned home to defeat No. 5 Texas, 88-80. Led by Gradey Dick (21), Dajuan Harris (17), Kevin McCullar (16), and Joseph Yesufu (14), Bill Self’s squad won its 40th-straight Big Monday home contest in impressive fashion.
Marcus Carr (29), Timmy Allen (18), and Sir’Jabari Rice (12) led the way for Texas, but it simply wasn’t enough to overcome KU’s will to win following an embarrassing loss on the road in Ames, Iowa on February 4.
In leading for 38:09 of the game, Kansas, which never trailed in the Big Monday showdown, scored 50 points in the paint, had 19 second chance points, 24 fastbreak points, and 22 points off the bench.
Kansas, on Saturday afternoon, will look to improve its winning streak to eight straight games. The Jayhawks haven’t lost since returning home from Ames in early February.
QUOTABLE: BILL SELF FOLLOWING AFTER NO. 9 KANSAS DEFEATED NO. 5 TEXAS, 88-80
“As good as they've been all year,” said Bill Self. “We had nine guys that we could put in, counting Jank. He was the ninth. We played well. We played with great energy. I thought Juan was so good to start the game. We had the bad stretch to end the first half, and then the last minute of the first half and the first three minutes of the second half were bad. And after that, it became a game again and we were pretty good.
“So, I was really pleased,” he added. “I thought everybody did well on a night where Jalen wasn't his best and still yet, we were able to hang 88 when our guy averaging 21 only gets two, so that's a positive thing.”
QUOTABLE PART II: BILL SELF ON HOW MUCH BETTER KANSAS IS WHEN SCORING IN THE PAINT
“Well, I think you can almost ask the question it is totally opposite,” said Self. “When we didn't play well, we didn't get points in the paint. We’ve got to be about paint touches, off the pass or off the bounce, one way or another. And tonight, we were successful. I bet our paint touches were worth a minimum of three times and maybe four times more than they were on Saturday. And then, what hurts you when you don't get paint touches, you become an execution team or jump shooting team, and then you don't get to the free throw line as much and all these things.
“We were better tonight, but it was encouraging to me that I thought everybody, with the exception of Jalen, who's our best at driving it downhill, I thought everybody drove it downhill and got paint touches,” he added. “KJ did from the perimeter. Kevin for sure did. Joe for sure did, Dajuan obviously. And then Gradey's getting better and better at it all the time.”
