Column: Defensive decapitation keys Jayhaws' thumping of Texas | KUsports.com
Tharpe’s primary assignment was to make sure Isaiah Taylor didn’t dictate the tempo and ultimately the outcome of the game the way he did in the Longhorns’ 12-point victory in Austin. He did an excellent job of that and so did fellow point guard Frank Mason, who stood out at both ends, making 6 of 7 shots and scoring 14 points.

The early meltdown, which turned an 8-3 lead for No. 19 Texas lead into a 28-10 deficit in just over 10 minutes, rendered worthless the rest of Taylor's night and turned what began as a showdown between top two teams in the Big 12 standings into a highlight clinic for Kansas.

We had to make sure it was just as bad. Really truly he (Self) wants to make it worse. That’s the mentality we took ... of our coach," added Black, who finished with nine points and five boards.

Kansas Brings A-Game to Blow out Texas: How Good Are the Jayhawks at Their Best?
5 - Tarik Black: The two top freshmen are not the only one-year Kansas players who have hustled their way into crowd-favorite status. On an amazing play that drew a huge ovation, Black’s right arm kept extending until it got all the way to the hoop and he dropped it in from so far away it didn’t look possible for him to get his arm all the way there. He followed that up with a slam on a lob from Jamari Traylor.

KU baseball rallies to win, 9-8 | KUsports.com
Kansas trailed by two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning before beginning its rally. Eldredge came to the plate with two outs and two runners on and, on the second pitch, laced what appeared to be a two-RBI triple down the left-field line. Instead, his hit was called a ground-rule double, which scored Dakota Smith but forced Tucker Tharp back to third base. The Jayhawks didn’t have to wait long for the tying run, when, in the next at-bat, Beck smoked his only hit of the game to left field. Both Tharp and Eldredge scored to give the Jayhawks (6-0) the final lead.
