Let’s start out with the obvious: That was a disappointing performance by the Jayhawks on Saturday. Kansas couldn’t shoot, was careless with the ball, and couldn’t stay out of foul trouble.
The funk the team is in right now cost the Jayhawks the lead in the Big 12, at least for the moment. And while there are plenty of negatives to point out, let’s focus on the positives.
Both West Virginia and Oklahoma lost on Saturday, meaning Kansas is in sole possession of second place. OU’s (6-6) loss removes another serious competitor from the list and basically makes this a three-team race (Texas Tech 9-3, Kansas 8-4, and West Virginia 7-5).
