Bill Self didn’t need to study tape to figure out what went wrong in Kansas’ ugly 77-60 loss to Iowa State on Jan. 5 at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
“You go on the road and have 24 turnovers, it’s not going to be pretty,” Self, KU’s 16th-year basketball coach, said matter-of-factly.
Senior Lagerald Vick and junior Dedric Lawson had seven and six turnovers respectively, which combined for one more than Iowa State committed as a team.
KU flat out failed in taking care of the basketball in that lopsided contest.
