Albeit without some of the offensive fireworks, the first half Monday night followed much the same script as Kansas’ road loss at West Virginia two days earlier. The Jayhawks started strong once more, again buoyed by the early shooting of Johnny Furphy, but defensive struggles as the half drew on caused them to surrender their lead and enter the half tied — even with the benefit of the Allen Fieldhouse ...

In fact, a few degrees worse than KU’s prior 9-8 mark in Stillwater under Self — now 10-8, after Tuesday’s dominant 90-66 victory — is its 4-6 performance in Morgantown, West ...
