It appeared certain Svi Mykhailiuk would register the first 30-point game of his four-year Kansas basketball career when he drilled a three-pointer with 12:59 left in Friday’s 98-64 rout of South Dakota State at Allen Fieldhouse.
At that point, the 6-foot-8 senior off guard from Ukraine had erupted for a career-high 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting. He’d made five threes in seven tries.
However, Mykhailiuk suffered cramps in his right leg shortly after missing a dunk try with 10:35 left, headed to the bench for a short spell, and after returning and missing a shot, was finished for the night at 7:43 after cramping again.
