In a matchup of two powerhouse programs at the college level, the Kansas Jayhawks took on the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington earlier tonight. Down 5 at halftime, the Jayhawks used an inspired second half performance to erase the deficit and come away with a 79-73 victory. A possible explanation for the turnaround? Coach Bill Self's footwear.

Taking part in Coaches vs. Cancer, an initiative that brings awareness to the fight against the disease, Self laced up the black and white Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost V2. His swagless counterpart John Calipari rocked regular dress shoes and the 'Cats paid for it in the end.

Kansas has been an Adidas school since 2005.
