Svi Mykhailiuk on survive-and-advance mentality: ‘We’ve just got to win’

OMAHA, Neb. — Svi Mykhailiuk isn’t sure the Jayhawks are playing their best basketball at the moment.

At the same time…

“It doesn’t matter how we play,” Mykhailiuk said. “We’ve just got to win.”

The senior was held to just nine points and four rebounds in KU’s 80-76 win. While it wasn’t the smoothest performance for the team — at one point, KU led by 20 — Mykhailiuk was quick to note that KU is more than ready for another chance to play for a Final Four.

“Nobody knows what’s going to happen,” Mykhailiuk said. “We’ve just got to come prepared and be ready to guard and compete.”
