The Jayhawks, ranked No. 14 in the nation, had experienced plenty of success on neutral environments in the 2018-19 season, with wins over currently-ranked No. 1 Tennessee, No. 10 Marquette and No. 11 Michigan State all away from Allen Fieldhouse.

With a game hanging in the balance in a tight Big 12 race, he put his head down and did what needed to be done.
