For a basketball coach who values attitude and effort over just about everything, what Kansas coach Bill Self saw from freshman forward David McCormack during Tuesday’s 89-53 victory over South Dakota at Allen Fieldhouse was about as good as it gets. Of course, given that Self has been around McCormack routinely, morning, noon and night, since August, the freshman’s breakout performance was not all that ...

Freshman forward David McCormack played and then kept playing. Limited to just 32 total minutes in KU’s first nine games, including a season-high of 10 against Louisiana and a DNP against Vermont, McCormack logged 17 minutes ...

In the rematch, a 74-71 dog-fight victory by top-ranked Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, there was one Villanova player who stood out above all others. And Bill Self put his best defender on him.
