Turnovers: 6 (Gibbs 2, Hamilton, Adams, Facey, team). “We really just came out and tried to play with a lot of energy.” “We just had so much respect for these guys - watching them on film and stuff like that - and knew what they were capable of,” Selden said. Also notable was the fact that two of those baskets came off steals, meaning UConn had only a single two-point basket in the half-court - a runner by Rodney Purvis over Svi Mykhailiuk at the 11:52 mark. Though UConn came into the game with the greater reputation for turning away inside shots, it was KU that dominated that area before halftime, limiting the Huskies to 3-for-21 on two-point shooting. Then, the Jayhawks cleared the glass, helped by eight first-half defensive rebounds from Lucas. KU got a hand up on most shots as well, forcing tough attempts and off-balance jumpers. The Jayhawks denied nearly every pass on the perimeter, challenging a UConn team that played without much offensive movement.
