Though still not perfect, the Kansas offense was a much prettier product vs. TCU

The easy thing to do would be to credit the high-flying freshman for bringing an entirely new dimension to the Kansas basketball lineup. And, sure, no one would blame you for crediting Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji and his lob-catching, high-leaping, energy-laden offensive game for adding life to a sometimes-stagnant KU offense. But Kansas coach Bill Self, as he always seems to do, saw it a little differently ...

First came the phone call, then the decision and, finally, a wild debut for KU freshman Ochai Agbaji

http://www2.kusports.com/photos/galleries/2019/jan/09/kansas-basketball-v-tcu/125922/ It’s been 34 years since Kansas basketball coach Bill Self last scored a point in an NCAA basketball game. But credit Self directly with seven key points [during No. 7 KU’s 77-68 victory over No. 25 TCU on Wednesday night.][1] Actually, credit Self’s cell phone provider. Last Sunday night, roughly 24 hours after a ...

Matt Tait: Chip Lindsey departure doesn't have to spell doom and gloom for Kansas football

There’s enough reason to believe that Chip Lindsey was not Kansas football coach Les Miles’ first choice as KU’s new offensive coordinator to make Lindsey’s departure a little easier to digest. But that’s only if Miles’ Plan C or Plan D or Plan E or wherever we’re at on the list at this point can bring the same kind of buzz and clout to the long-suffering KU program. More about that in a minute. ...

Notebook: Freshman Devon Dotson continues to grow as leader for Jayhawks

Before Wednesday night’s 77-68 victory over No. 25 TCU at Allen Fieldhouse, the last time the 7th-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team was on the floor for Big 12 play, an obvious lack of leadership led to a meltdown at Iowa State and the Jayhawks walked away on the wrong end of a 17-point beating after coughing up 24 turnovers. Needless to say, leadership — among several other things — was a focal point ...

Oh my, Ochai: KU freshman Agbaji delivers dazzling debut to help No. 7 Kansas top No. 25 TCU

He waited 14 games and 9 weeks to finally play, and then had to wait 4 minutes and 9 seconds longer to actually get into a game. From there, it took Kansas freshman Ochai Agbaji just 10 more seconds to make an impact that was felt throughout Allen Fieldhouse long into the night during the Jayhawks’ 77-68 victory over No. 25 TCU on Wednesday. On his very first official play as a Kansas Jayhawk, Agbaji cut ...

Self: Doc says Azubuike's surgery 'couldn't have gone any better'

While most, if not all, followers of Kansas basketball knew that KU junior Udoka Azubuike would not play in Wednesday night’s 77-68 victory over No. 25 TCU, there were a few who were curious where he was during the 7th-ranked Jayhawks’ bounce-back win. Azubuike was in New York City, recovering from surgery to repair the torn ligament in his right hand/wrist area that will cost him the rest of the 2018-19 ...
