No. 1 KU Survives Another Overtime Battle At Colorado.

A hard fought, relatively mediocre ball game is coming down to the wire. It is in these moments that the KU Jayhawks have been able to entertain this season.

Morningstar gets a steal, and on the other end, Marcus Morris is a boarding machine, as he pulls down three or four straight offensive boards before putting in a layup. Bill Self is ecstatic over this kind of effort, clapping his hands and pumping his fists like a guido from Jersey Shore.

Relphorde follows with a layup and foul, but he misses the free throw. The next Colorado possession, Higgins is fouled and hits 2 free throws, slimming KU’s lead to three.

Collins misses a fadeaway, (usually money) but Marcus Morris snatches the offensive rebound. Collins ponders putting up an open three, but he wisely resets the offense. a trademark trait of the poised guard.

With the shot clock winding down, Collins breaks his defender's ankles, putting in a layup to put KU up five. Collins is just being himself

CU's Dufault misses a wide-open three, and Morningstar rips down the board between two CU players. He gets fouled and makes only one of his free throws.

Higgins is then fouled, and he makes two free throws. Marcus Morris is immediately fouled after KU gets it inbounds. Marcus makes both free throws, putting KU up six with 26 seconds left.

CU misses two 3-point attempts, and that will do it. Marcus Morris clears the rebound and is fouled.

The KU Rock Chalk Chant starts with 7.5 seconds left in overtime. CU fans counter with an “O-VER-RA-TED” chant.

KU escapes with a 72-66 victory. After a similar OT squeak out against a solid K-State Wildcat team, KU is solidifying as a team with tight game victory experience. Despite playing down to the level of CU for most of the game, they managed to once again pull out the victory.
