Kansas basketball pulled out a gritty win over Kentucky last night, and Jalen Wilson was a big reason why.

Last night’s matchup between Kansas basketball and Kentucky wasn’t a shooting clinic. The Jayhawks shot less than 30 percent on the night, while the Wildcats came in at 36 percent. Still, Kansas got the win 65-62, and redshirt freshman Jalen Wilson was a big reason why.

Wilson was 8-16 from the field with 23 points and 10 rebounds.
