Kansas’ basketball team continues to feed off a steady diet of Thanksgiving week tournament opponents.
The Jayhawks, 4-1, who won the Maui Invitational in 2015, the Orlando Classic in 2014 and the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in 2012, made it four turkey-week holiday titles in five seasons Tuesday night, jolting Georgia 65-54 for a second-straight CBE championship. KU went 2-1 in the Battle 4 Atlantis in 2013 in the Bahamas.
A zone defense, of all things, helped the Jayhawks shake off a slow start, which included getting burned for 17 first-half points by Georgia junior forward Yante Maten.
