If any mystery remained early in the second half, Wiggins ended the suspense. He scored 13 straight points on his own and finished with 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting, with five rebounds. That spree was as dominant as Wiggins looked all season – worthy of a multi-magazine cover boy.
After thumping Kansas State, Jayhawks show they are force to be reckoned with - KansasCity.com
As easy as it might be to dismiss what happened Saturday as just another birthright thumping of the Wildcats, it was more than that against a team that remains intriguing itself even if can't solve KU. For the Jayhawks, this was a meaningful strand in the DNA of a still-forming force just six days after they had fallen for the ninth time in their first 13 games and in Allen Fieldhouse, no less, against San Diego State.

"It speaks volumes to when you have three Division I schools in the state and they’re all ranked," Self said. "I think when K-State’s good it helps Kansas.

The Jayhawks partied hard the rest of the game.
There was the alley-oop dunk by Wiggins off a feed from Selden, and a nimble post move by Embiid that resulted in another dunk. And even when Wiggins threw the ball away for the Jayhawks' first turnover, he atoned for it with back-to-back 3-pointers for a 58-34 lead.
Then came Wiggins' biggest highlight, a one-handed slam that went through the rim with such force that the ball bounced the entire length of the floor the other direction.
