Kansas had nine basketball players combine for a season-high 25 assists in the Jayhawks’ 87-63 victory over Eastern Michigan on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.
The No. 5-ranked Jayhawks’ previous-best mark was 21 dimes in a season-opening victory over Michigan State.
“That’s so misleading though, because when it’s a zone every possession, you get more shots off of the catch than when you are playing against a man,” Kansas coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks’ 11th win in 12 games. Eastern Michigan, which totaled just seven assists, fell to 6-7.
“We shared it OK,” Self added.
