Game Recap

No. 2 Kansas, fresh off win over UConn, slogs its way to 88-69 victory over Kansas City. Kansas coach Bill Self is always reluctant to describe a game as a “trap," because he doesn't believe it gives the opposition the credit it deserves — especially when the opponent pushes the Jayhawks right down to the wire.
