Quick grades for five aspects of KU’s 89-72 victory over Nebraska on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016 at Allen Fieldhouse.

Offense: A-

One of these days the Jayhawks are going to start making free throws (I think). Until they do, they’re not going to be able to score above an A- no matter how well they shoot elsewhere.

Defense: C+

The Jayhawks weren’t great on the glass (36-35 advantage), let Nebraska get a little too comfortable in the paint in the second half and forced just 12 turnovers.

Frontcourt: B

Landen Lucas had a very productive day and looked a lot less concerned about how he looked or played and just went out there and did the job.

Backcourt: A

If lots of layups and three-pointers from your top four perimeter players is a good thing, KU knocked it out of the park. Lagerald Vick had a second straight quiet day but the likes of Graham, Mason, Jackson and Svi more than made up for it.

Bench: B+

Svi played a great first half, Mitch Lightfoot gave some solid first-half minutes — especially in terms of effort — and Lucas played one of his most solid games of the season.
