Rush fouls out on what he thought was a clean block. Fans boo. He sits. Adams shoots and makes two free throws. Well, KU had to fight a little bit for this one but will get it done. The 1998 team is jealous. Uh oh, Chalmers finishes off a nice and-1 play on a layup, but he face plants into the floor underneath the basket. He stays down holding his face. Self kneels next to him. Looks like he’s all right. No blood.Â
He’s smiling, ready to shoot a free throw, which he misses. Three by Terry is off. Rock Chalk Chant starts up at Qwest. Chalmers spots up and drains a three. He’s got 17. Credit Wink Adams’ effort today. He’s got 25, but KU’s got a win. Tyrel Reed, Conner Teahan, Cole Aldrich and Matt Kleinmann in to finish this one off for KU. Case dribbles out the clock, and KU rolls into the Sweet 16.
