Kansas junior guard Naadir Tharpe on how he was able to record 12 assists in the game.
"I kind of felt on the ball-screens they were coming at me more. Toward the end they tried to trap me a little bit, but I knew I had to get dudes involved and get them going. That is the most important thing. I was just trying to draw defenders and find the open man and they were just knocking down shots."
