Kansas coach Bill Self is going for comic relief after the biggest blown lead in a loss in the storied program's history. Self joked that the oranges Baylor provided at halftime were the reason for the Bears' rally from 21 points down late in the first half of an 81-70 victory.

Interestingly, both times the Jayhawks have led by at least 20 points and lost, it was a double-digit setback. In a 91-74 victory 22 years ago, the Wildcats stormed back from a 44-24 deficit.“I really didn’t say much,” Self said. “I don’t think in situations like that there’s really a lot to be said. Any type of pick-’em-up talk isn’t going to be heard. And there’s no reason to get on anybody.”
“If you don’t believe in miracles, that second half, such a limited bench and against a Hall of Fame coach and a great team that don’t beat themselves,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “I think our crowd deserves a lot of credit. We only had 11 assists, but I think the crowd gets 10 of them.”“Yeah, there’s some concern,” Self said. “It was two different type games. The way the game ended was indicative of how the entire second half went. It wasn’t just a closeout.
