The seniors hadn't been playing like seniors, and Kansas was suffering for it. Elijah Johnson kept turning the ball over on offense, Kevin Young missed a couple easy shots around the rim, and Travis Releford was mired in foul trouble. Little surprise that Temple had the sixth-ranked Jayhawks on the ropes. But when the final minutes started ticking way, Kansas' savvy group of veterans finally kicked it into gear. Johnson scored on consecutive drives to the basket, Young made six straight foul shots and Releford sealed the deal with a shot-clock-beating 3-pointer from the wing. After a tense Sunday afternoon, Kansas could finally celebrate a 69-62 victory.
