Langford struggles yet KU wins as he searches for groove
Langford shows frustration with free throws missing four in a row then finally makes a shot with 5:23 left. He swaps shoes to shake off slump and eyes renewed defense when scoring. Coach Self notes health limits but expects Langford to improve. KU relies on deep bench while awaiting Langford’s return to form.
