How the opposing team reacts when one team is playing with great emotion was the key to this game. Texas played with much poise and pulled through to beat Kansas in Lawrence 74-63.
Coach Self said Kansas "played well, too. But certainly it was emotional. I felt like we didn’t have much gas in the tank the second half. But a lot of it’s because of Texas’ play, too.”
The mother of Kansas player Thomas Robinson died of a sudden heart attack in Washington D.C. late the night before the game.
It was an extremely somber finish for the Kansas community.
