DES MOINES, Iowa – Kansas is whole this season.
Which everyone should take to mean good.
The precarious second round of the NCAA Tournament came and went Saturday, and the Jayhawks remain alive. And well.
At halftime, Uncle Anthony set the snooze switch on his large timepiece, Jamari Traylor iced the palm he used to swat shots and the Jayhawks looked ahead to the second week of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years.
Unanswered runs of 16 and 19 points prompted that reaction, though Connecticut displayed some second-half heart before the Jayhawks withstood the surge and won 73-61 in Wells Fargo Arena.
