Kansas Jayhawks vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Analysis
McCullar’s Injury Fuels Jayhawks’ Underdog Triumph
On Saturday, Kansas picked up a big win even without their top scorer, Kevin McCullar, who was sidelined due to a knee injury. McCullar’s health is closely monitored, given how important his appears will be once March approaches. In his absence, four Kansas Jayhawks players achieved double-digit scores. Notably, in the recent overtime loss to Kansas State last Monday, Hunter Dickinson led the team with 21 points and 12 rebounds.
McCullar, averaging just below 20 points per game, is a key player for the team. Dickinson, in his first season after joining from Michigan, scoring an average of 18.7 points per game, while K.J. Adams holds the third position with 12.7 points per game. As a team, the Kansas team scores an average of 78.1 points per game, boasting a 50.6% shooting accuracy, ranking third in the nation.
The Jayhawks are currently playing in back-to-back road college basketball matchups, with the upcoming contest followed by a journey to Norman, Oklahoma, to face the Sooners. After that, they conclude their college basketball schedule in February with consecutive home games against Texas and Brigham Young.
