"We weren't good enough defensively to win the game in the first half. They changed their mindset in the second half," Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said after watching his team outscore the Jayhawks 49-29 in the final 20 minutes.
"We didn't show much composure when it got hot," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "That was disappointing."
