No. 9 Kansas clinched the conference's regular-season title, but the team ended the regular season on a sour note, losing 75-73 to Oklahoma after a tip-in by Sooners guard Buddy Hield with 0.2 seconds remaining.
"I talked to the guys about this being a statement game," said coach Bill Self, via ESPN. "You won the league. Now, go out and put some separation between us and the second-place team. ... That was a good effort by us. There was no one out there laying down. We just got beat."
Heading into their tournament-opener on Thursday, the Jayhawks will still likely be without forward Cliff Alexander, who's already missed three games while the NCAA investigates possible eligibility issues. Self wasn't sure when or if the freshman would be back, but he's preparing his team like Alexander won't return.
"I'm not counting on Cliff coming back," Self said. "No, the whole deal is let's get our team ready and then if Cliff comes back, we'll somehow plug him in, as opposed to him being a focal point."
The Horned Frogs, meanwhile, ended their season on a three-game losing streak before winning on Wednesday against Kansas State. TCU escaped with a 67-65 victory in Wednesday's second-round game, something the team credited to how it finished the regular season, despite what the losses indicate.
"We ended the season on a high note. We felt like overall we played well, even though we didn't finish our games," said guard Trey Zeigler. "We came in here and we knew Kansas State was a good team, and me and Kyan just tried to make sure we did everything we could do as senior captains."
