Kansas freshman Ben McLemore hits an in-game 360 jam against Texas

The small percentage of fans still watching ESPN's primetime matchup between Kansas and Texas late in the second half received a reward for their perseverance Saturday night. With his team already leading by 32 points and just over four minutes remaining, Kansas freshman Ben McLemore sprinted out in transition and finished a fast break in style. McLemore delivered a 360 transition slam, two of his 13 points and by far the most memorable highlight of an otherwise forgettable 73-47 Jayhawks victory. Kansas limited the anemic Longhorns to 21.8 percent from the field and 2 of 21 from behind the arc. It looks like the Jayhawks have rediscovered their confidence and identity after that three-game skid earlier this month.
