First Half
19:56- Darrell Arthur slams down a pass from Russell Robinson which gives Kansas a 2-0 lead. You probably didn’t get to see this one if you were watching on TV.
9:30- Dominique Kirk makes a free throw, giving the Aggies a 15-14 lead. A&M never led again.
7:32- Sherron Collins assists Darrell Arthur on a jump shot. Collins gets an assist on the next four possessions. He finished the game with seven.
5:13- Mario Chalmers throws down one of Collins’ passes for a fast-break dunk.
Second Half
19:16- Russell Robinson completes his and-one layup by making the free throw. Kansas leads 41-28 and is on a 23-12 run going back to the first half. The Big 12 title is close.
16:02- Here’s why Kansas is playing so well: Collins steals the ball and two seconds later, gets an open layup. Collins is really energizing this team.
2:38- Brandon Rush delivers the play of the day with a posterization of Joseph Jones. Jones fouls out in the process, and Kansas leads 68-53.
0:00- The Jayhawks clinch a share of their fourth straight Big 12 title with the victory.

Winning for Hudy
Kansas’ strength coach Andrea Hudy’s mother lost a long battle with cancer and passed away on Saturday morning. Multiple Jayhawks said they dedicated the game to Hudy.
“All she asked for was us to come home with another ring,” sophomore Darrell Arthur said. Freshman Cole Aldrich said, “ This is for Hudy. She’s part of our family.“
More on the title
Kansas has won four straight conference titles six times in its history. The last time the Jayhawks did it was 1995-98. Kansas has also won eight of the 12 Big 12 regular season basketball titles since the Big 12’s formation in 1996, and has won or shared 51 conference titles in its history – the most in the nation.
Self okay with sharing
With Texas’ victory against Oklahoma State on Sunday, Kansas’ had to share the Big 12 conference regular season title with the Longhorns. That didn’t bother Kansas coach Bill Self.
“It’s certainly not a slap in anyone’s face to share it with a team that I think has a chance to win a National Championship,” Self said. “Because I think Texas could potentially be that good.”
Possible No. 1 seed?
After finishing 28-3 and winning a share of the Big 12 regular season title, Kansas guard Sherron Collins was asked about the Jayhawks being a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
“If it happens it happens. If it don’t, it don’t,” Collins said. “We just got to play the hand we’re dealt.
“I think were playing good enough. I think if we get everything done were supposed to get done, then we’ll come out with a No. 1 seed, but if we don’t, we still got to play.”
