NCAA hoops: Jayhawks struggle through 90-74 win over Lehigh


By JOHN MARSHALL
AP Basketball Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY � Marcus Morris scored 26 points, Sherron Collins added 18 and No. 1 overall seed Kansas survived a 90-74 win over scrappy Lehigh in the Midwest Regional on Thursday night.

Kansas (33-2) fell into its season-long pattern of playing in spurts, giving No. 16 seed Lehigh (22-11) hope of making college basketball history.
The Jayhawks led by just six in the first half and didn�t pull away until midway through the second to keep from becoming the greatest Goliath to be crossed off the brackets on a wild opening day of the NCAA tournament.
Tyrel added four big 3-pointers for Kansas as it moves on to face gritty Northern Iowa in a second-round game that suddenly seems much more daunting.
Lehigh made its fourth NCAA appearance a memorable one, putting a scare into the nation�s No. 1 team.
