Thirteen was the magic number for Kansas, and in a good way. The Jayhawks racked up 13 steals, with Hunter Dickinson and Dajuan Harris swiping three apiece. Shakeel Moore and KJ Adams added two each, while others chipped in as well. It was relentless, and the Sun Devils just couldn’t handle the pressure.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Zeke Mayo scored 23 points and No. 11 Kansas held Arizona State to 13 in the second half of a 74-55 victory Wednesday night.

The Jayhawks’ defense was lacking in the first half, allowing Arizona State to shoot 46.7% from the field. The Sun Devils’ 42 points in the first half was the most a team has scored against KU this season. Jayhawks coach Bill Self must have delivered one heck of a halftime speech, because KU’s defense was phenomenal in the second half.
