What you need to know about Kansas

The contest between Kansas and the Tennessee Volunteers this past Saturday was not particularly close, with Kansas falling 80-61. Guard Ochai Agbaji had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only nine points on 3-for-12 shooting in his 31 minutes on the court. However, the junior averages 14.1 points per game to lead the team this season and should continue to be a major factor offensively.

Kansas shot just 37.7 percent in its fourth loss in the last five games. Meanwhile, the Jayhawks defense faltered enormously, with a streaky Tennessee offense shooting 52.8 percent from the floor and 61.5 percent from the 3-point line. Kansas will have to tighten up on both ends of the floor even against a struggling opponent like Kansas State.

Meanwhile, Kansas State came up short against the Texas A&M Aggies this past Saturday, falling 68-61. Guard Nijel Pack did his best for Kansas State, finishing with 26 points and five dimes. Pack is averaging 11.8 points and 3.8 assists per game this season to lead the squad in both categories as a freshman.

Unfortunately, Kansas State shot just 10-of-35 (28.6 percent) from the 3-point line in the loss to Texas A&M. It was the fourth game in a row that the Wildcats have shot under 30 percent from beyond the arc and their 29.8 percent 3-point shooting percentage for the season ranks 309th in college basketball out of 347 teams.
