    Kansas had built such a big lead and was playing so well, Bill Self had no qualms about using only a few seconds of a timeout before sending his guys back onto the floor.

    Then the coach caught Thomas Robinson giggling with his teammates while watching as a humorous clip starring the junior forward played on the video screens. Even the referees were smiling as they watched, and Self knew his team had lost its focus.

    "I think it's human nature," Self said, "and we've shown over time that we're not the most mature team or handle maturity that well."

    They still managed to handle Texas Tech just fine.

    Robinson finished with 16 points and eight rebounds to lead a balanced attack, and the Jayhawks (No. 5 ESPN/USA Today, No. 3 AP) emptied their bench early in an 83-50 victory Saturday night.
