Adams Continues to be Mr. Reliable for Kansas
KJ Adams finished Saturday’s 64-61 win over Baylor with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 36 minutes. The numbers may not be overwhelming, but Adams was Mr. Reliable for Kansas most of the night as the Jayhawks played without Kevin McCullar.
Adams contributed on both ends, shooting 85.7% from the field while adding three steals on the other end of the court. The star junior forward has excelled since the start of the conference season, scoring in double-figures every game to average 13.3 points (66.7%), 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals over the last 11 games.
Isaacs Posts Season-Low vs. UCF
Pop Isaacs totaled seven points (2-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Saturday’s 66-59 win over UCF. Isaacs struggled from the field, posting a season-low seven points in the Red Raiders’ win. Despite the scoring struggles, the star sophomore found ways to contribute by posting five boards and six assists, with the assist total representing his second-highest mark in conference play.
Isaacs has not shot the ball well over the last three but has not allowed the lack of success deter his confidence, averaging just under 15 shots from the floor while shooting just 11-for-44 (25%) as he attempts to shoot his way out of the slump. Despite the recent dip, Isaacs value to Texas Tech is undeniable, averaging 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.1 assist and 1.0 steals over 33.7 minutes since the start of conference play.
