HOUSTON — Three months after the most entertaining game of the college basketball season, Kansas coach Bill Self is still bragging about how well his Jayhawks defended Oklahoma star Buddy Hield.
"We held him to 46," Self said Thursday, "so I'd say we did a pretty good job."
Self, of course, was joking.
Just as he did against almost every opponent this season, Hield absolutely went off against the Jayhawks in Lawrence back on Jan. 4. But when the final horn sounded it didn't really matter, because Kansas still won the game (109-106 in triple overtime).
