College Basketball Nation:Kentucky is good, but let's not get ahead of ourselves

INDIANAPOLIS: They had one of those dress-up contests during the first media timeout of the second half here. You know, where the little kids run down the court and put on shorts 10 times too big and sneakers meant for grown men?

The young Kansas fan was late to the shooting part, struggling to get his shoes on. But in a spurt, he launched an off-kilter jumper from just inside the free-throw line.

It didn't go in but it goes down as the best look a guy in a Jayhawks' uniform got all night.

Here's essentially how this version of the State Farm Champions Classic, a 72-40 Kentucky romp, went: Early in the second half, Frank Mason III got out on a fast break, soaking up the space around him for an easy bucket … until Alex Poythress blocked his shot, meeting the ball at the backboard. But wait! There came Kelly Oubre with the follow-up for surely the easy lay-in. Except no, Trey Lyles got him, too.
