LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas coach Bill Self watched the lazy pass float into an opponent's hands, leading to an open 3-pointer. He screamed for a timeout, then at his players, venting for a solid 30 seconds.

Self can't remember what he said. Whatever it was, it sure worked.

Sherron Collins scored 18 points and No. 3 Kansas finished the first half on a 15-2 run after Self's outburst, beating Loyola of Maryland, 90-60, last night.

The Jayhawks (15-0) had hoped for an easy win in the last nonconference game before their Big 12 opener Saturday at Nebraska. They got it, though it took Self screaming at them to break out of an early funk.

"I don't really remember exactly what I said to them," Self said. "It's not the score, it's playing the game and we just didn't play the game for that stretch."

Self accepted the early struggles but he was clearly fed up when Gerald Brown hit a 3-pointer that drew the Greyhounds (6-9) to 26-22 with just over five minutes left in the half. He immediately called the timeout to chew out his players and the Jayhawks responded, picking up the defensive pressure and getting easy shots in a 15-2 run for a 41-26 lead at intermission.

"We just came out a little flat and just not into the game a little bit," said Sasha Kaun, who scored 14 points for Kansas. "But we picked it up."

No. 6 Michigan St. 78, Purdue 75: Reserve Kalin Lucas scored 16 points, Goran Suton made one of two free throws for a 74-73 lead with 1:09 to play and Travis Walton scored four points in the final 22 seconds as the host Spartans (14-1, 2-0 Big Ten) beat the Boilermakers (10-5, 1-1) at East Lansing, Mich.

No. 7 Georgetown 76, DePaul 60: Roy Hibbert had 17 points and 11 rebounds and the Hoyas (12-1, 2-0 Big East) opened the game with an 11-0 run and were up 46-25 at halftime in beating the Blue Demons (6-8, 2-1) at Rosemont, Ill., for their fourth straight victory.

No. 10 Indiana 78, Michigan 64: D.J. White had 21 points and 22 rebounds, Eric Gordon had 23 points, and the Hoosiers (13-1, 2-0 Big Ten) used a 22-5 run to open up a 59-36 lead en route to beating the Wolverines (4-11, 0-3) at Ann Arbor, Mich.

No. 15 Marquette 61, Seton Hall 56: Jerel McNeal scored 14 points and Dan Fitzgerald hit a 3-pointer with 9.4 seconds left for a 61-56 lead as the Golden Eagles (12-2, 2-1 Big East) held off the Pirates (10-5, 0-2) in Milwaukee.
