Kansas Jayhawks
Bill Self’s bunch is coming off of a hideously bad performance against Texas over the weekend. Only 1,500 fans are allowed in Phog Allen Fieldhouse, but you can bet that their voices were heard in Kansas’s 25-point home loss to Texas. The Jayhawks went 3-of-23 from 3 and just 20-of-65 from the field as a whole in the 84-59 blowout loss. You’d have to think that there is nowhere to go but up. Kansas is 8-2 on the young year with a 4-5 mark against the number. The game against Washburn was not lined. Kansas failed to cover in a four-point win over Kentucky and also in a one-point win over Creighton. They did cover with an outright win in Lubbock to start 1-0 in conference play. The Jayhawks had .802 points per possession against Texas on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Longhorns scored 1.142 PPP. That was the second-worst defensive performance for Kansas. The worst came in the season opener against Gonzaga, but the Bulldogs will do that to a lot of teams. There is still a ton of talent on this Kansas roster, even with last season’s departures. The problem is that freshman Jalen Wilson has outshined the returnees in a lot of ways. The upper classmen need to be better and more consistent for Kansas. The Jayhawks also need to get inside more frequently. They’ve been a bad jump shooting team this season, shooting just 29% from the mid-range and 35.6% from 3. The 35.6% does crack the top 100, but Kansas has struggled to shoot over the length of Kentucky and Texas.CLAIM YOUR WELCOME BONUS FROM BOOKMAKER SPORTSBOOK
