Hall of Fame Coach Bill Self earned his paycheck Friday night in Austin. He let his #11 ranked Kansas basketball team play some tough zone defense against the Longhorns. The decision away from the usual man-to-man defense was a huge factor in helping the Jayhawks open conference play with a victory on the road.
Devonte Graham and Lagerald Vick hit big 3s to open the game to combat the Longhorns Mo Bamba. The Texas big man made 9 of the Horns first 10 points. Bamba had a big game but give Udokah Azubuike a ton of credit.
