Down Goes Kansas

Ford: “It was a great win. It was a great win. I told our team, it’s one of the great wins that I’ve been a part of, just for the fact what we’ve been through as a team. A lot of people have given up on this team, say certain things. To perform at the level we performed at tonight, I was so pleased with these guys.” [NewsOK]

Bill Self: “I think about everything that could go wrong with us went wrong. We didn’t make shots when the game was at least somewhat in balance, and they were so athletic, and of course, they played great. They made timely shots, had seven different guys make shots. What went wrong was they were far better than us.” [AP]
