Winners and losers from the Big 12-SEC Challenge (ESPN)

The whole article is worth reading, but I "clipped" some highlights.

Winner: "I'm gonna blow a gasket"
According to Kansas forward Perry Ellis, this phrase is apparently the thing Self is most likely to scream at Ellis in practice. We prefer to think of it as the popular catchphrase from the syndicated 1990s sitcom version of Self's life, which exists only in our minds. For now.



Winner: Wayne Selden Jr. (and, therefore, Kansas)
An offensive liability a season ago, Wayne Selden Jr. re-emerged in the early days of his junior campaign as Kansas's most efficient, important scorer. When he wasn't blaming himself for playing Selden out of position for two years, giddy KU coach Bill Self could typically be found describing the Jayhawks as "Wayne's team." Then there was a loss to West Virginia, when Selden attempted just one shot inside the arc, and a seven-point night in a rout at Oklahoma State. And then Monday's 1-for-6 effort from 3 in KU's letdown at Iowa State. The Jayhawks' three straight road losses coincided with Selden's slumping play. It's no surprise, then, that Selden's aggressive star turn on Saturday night -- a 33-point burst, on 12-of-20 from the field -- coincided with KU's rousing overtime victory over Kentucky.
