Small has Efficient Performance
Javon Small accumulated 15 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday’s 74-69 loss to TCU. Small has now put up back-to-back solid efforts with Tuesday’s 15/5/7 performance coming while only committing one turnover. Small also hit three triples in a game for the first time in over a month. The junior point guard is averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.5 steals over his last two games.
McCullar Leads Big 12 in Scoring
Kevin McCullar provided 24 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during Saturday’s 91-85 loss to West Virginia. It was a disappointing outcome for Kansas but McCullar continues to star, scoring 20 or more for the 10th time this season while shooting 10-for-14 from the floor. The Big 12 is a gauntlet this season with star players up and down the conference, but McCullar has as solid a claim as any, including teammate Hunter Dickinson, as being the best and most consistent player in conference this season. McCullar ranks first in the conference in points (20.0), sixth in assists (4.7), 11th in rebounds (6.4) and is tied for 16th in steals (1.4).
