Bill Self came out for the game dressed like Bob Huggins. Pullover and all. In the first half the Jayhawks looked like a cheap imposter. Things changed and the Kansas Jayhawks snuck out of Morgantown after the Mountaineers collapse with a 71-66 win.
Sagaba Konate was the first half storyline. He was blocking shots all over the place. By the end of the first half Kansas was barely willing to enter the paint.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk thought it was a good idea to try to dunk one on Konate. Bad decision.
