After the first day of the Kansas basketball team’s annual Boot Camp, senior guard Svi Mykhailiuk discussed the start of Boot Camp and his offseason, which included losing 20 pounds since the end of season in March.

In order to cut the 20 pounds, Mykhailiuk said he changed his diet and cut out soda.

Why the change?

“I feel like now I’m faster with the light weight, and I’m more athletic,” Mykhailiuk said. “It just helped me overall with the game.”
