For the second consecutive game, the final outcome was about what you would expect in a matchup like this, but the way the game went was... not.
The Game
Kansas jumped out to a quick 11-3 lead, but by the under-12 timeout Louisiana had taken a 19-18 lead. Soon the Jayhawks would trail by 12 at 32-20. An intentional technical by Bill Self sparked a 10-0 run over the next two and a half minutes erased most of that lead, and Kansas would reclaim that lead just before the under-4 timeout. Kansas would take a slim 44-41 advantage into the break.
