x KU 59, USC 55

Game 7, Dec. 2

The game: Chalmers hits a long three-point shot with 20 seconds to play, sealing the victory. USC plays a low-possession game in the first half, holding KU to 25 points, but the Jayhawks speed up the tempo and watch USC freshman phenom O.J. Mayo take some ill-advised shots at ill-advised times. Twenty-nine NBA scouts are in attendance.

The quote: "We never had the game totally under control, but we're up eight with three minutes left -- we're supposed to put that game away," Self said. "We certainly made it entertaining for the fans, but that shouldn't happen with a veteran ballclub. Hopefully that won't happen again."

The quote: "The reason we've played better here of late is because of the guard play," Self said.

Game 11, Dec. 18

The game: The Jayhawks lead by 13 in the first half but can't knock out Tech. KU allows the Yellow Jackets to stay in the game, including a last possession to tie the score, but Collins swipes a loose ball and his layup clinches it. Robinson has 17 points and four assists as the Jayhawks win the first of two ACC road games.

The quote: "Hopefully it's not a characteristic that we don't finish," Self said.
