We beat Kansas at their own game but shot ourselves in both feet. Why we can’t keep lead in closing I can’t figure out. Missed free throws and fouls at crucial times were our nemesis as it would have ended in regulation. And officiating wasn’t stellar either that allows knockdown blow by blow play until the final minutes. Frogs played well but self destructed when the fat lady was about to sing.
