KU faces down Texas A&M 79-66

Kansas City Star — The tendency would be to pair Kansas&rsquo; two Big 12 tournament victories together and point out a trend. In the Jayhawks&rsquo; win on Thursday over Texas Tech, they were lacking in effort early. On Friday night, the No. 1 team in the land trailed Texas A&M by three at halftime. But KU coach Bill Self wanted to make a distinction between the two wins that put the Jayhawks in the Big 12 tournament championship game against Kansas State at 5 p.m. today at the Sprint Center.
