Kansas freshman combo guard Marcus Garrett will start his second straight game and third of the season on Tuesday against Texas Tech, KU coach Bill Self said during Sunday’s media session at Allen Fieldhouse
“I assume he’ll be starting more as the season goes on,” Self said of the 6-foot-5 Dallas Skyline High graduate. “Nothing against Malik (Newman). Malik has a sore (left) foot. He won’t practice today. We’ll stick with Marcus (Tuesday) unless something unforeseen happens,” Self added.
Sophomore guard Newman — his injury is not serious, Self said — scored 13 points in 29 minutes off the bench in Friday’s 92-86 victory over Texas in Austin.
