LAWRENCE, Kan. – Maybe it’s the crowd. Maybe it’s the history. Maybe it’s the standout athletes Bill Self brings in year after year.

There’s just something about 56-year-old Allen Fieldhouse that seems to pour energy and determination into every Kansas team that passes through. With a hard-fought, come-from-behind 63-60 victory over Nebraska on Saturday, the third-ranked Jayhawks ran their school-record, home-court winning streak to 69 games in a row and made Self 124-6 on his friendly home court.

“I don’t know what it is,” said senior guard Tyrel Reed, who had 16 points and hit a critical free throw in the final seconds. “I guess you could call it magic. The aura of Allen Fieldhouse. Throughout my years I’ve seen some runs and some plays that you don’t see in any other arena.”

Kansas (17-0, 2-0 Big 12), which has dominated Nebraska throughout the decades and came in with a 15-game winning streak over the Huskers, was thoroughly outplayed in a ragged first half and fell behind by 10 points quickly after intermission.
