The Kansas Jayhawks finished their three game stint in the Hoophall Miami Invitational undefeated Saturday, taking down the previously undefeated Syracuse Orange, 76-60.
Things started slowly for Kansas
. In the early going, Syracuse's commitment to playing half court basketball set the pace, and points were hard to find. Kansas uncharacteristically missed several open threes early on, which helped limit their offensive production out of the gate. Fortunately, KU played excellent defense and mostly forced tough shots, and as the half went on, they started to take over. Syracuse would make only five of 23 shots before the half, and Devonte Graham sparked enough offense to give Kansas a comfortable lead.
