Key Plays: Kansas at Iowa State

By By Ryan Colaianni (Contact)

Monday, January 30, 2006

Freshman forward Julian Wright got the Jayhawks going on their first possession of the game, driving into the lane and throwing down a dunk.

Wright would later score in the opening minutes with an alley-oop pass from sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Robinson would hit freshman guard Brandon Rush for another dunk a few possessions later.

After sitting on the bench for most of the first half, Robinson scored two quick points early in the second half and led the Jayhawks to a 17-3 run.

On that run, freshman guard Mario Chalmers sparked Kansas by stealing the ball and going coast-to-coast for the layup plus the foul.

Quotes:

“Their best offense was us turning the ball over today. Especially when they had their run.” Kansas coach Bill Self said about Iowa State.

“We got pretty nervous, but we had a whole 20 more minutes to play.” Rush said about how the team felt during Iowa State’s first-half run.

“I told them that we are still better off than when we started.” Self said about his team’s three-point lead at halftime.

“I was thinking he was going to come back to me. I thought he might put me back in in the first half,’ Robinson said about sitting on the bench after picking up two fouls.
