‘He showed some (marbles) tonight’: How KU’s leader saved the Jayhawks against TCU

The Kansas offense was a worn-out baseball pitcher, 110 pitches in, and all out of junk to throw.

This was late in a back-and-forth game against TCU on Saturday night at Schollmaier Arena. KU coach Bill Self kept thrusting his right hand upward, five fingers extended.

The Horned Frogs knew the play that was coming. Self didn’t care.

There would be no more tricks on this night. No off-speed pitches or “fooled-you” plays or gimmicks to take down TCU during a crucial game in the conference race.
