Some games are just ugly, start to finish. This was one of those games. Through some combination of good defense and awful shooting (mostly awful shooting), this one was a low scoring affair from start to finish. It was tired at 23 headed to the locker room and neither team had looked good.
The squads didn't deviate from that storyline in the second half, either. But Kansas ended up with a late advantage, up four with just under two minutes to go. Christian Braun failed to convert the free throw on an and one, but Nova failed to score on the other end.
