Kansas basketball fan-favorite Mitch Lightfoot made a strong case for more playing time in the Jayhawks’ win over Omaha.
Redshirt senior Mitch Lightfoot does a lot of things right. There’s no question that he always plays hard, his defense is top-tier, and he’s been looking pretty good on offense as well. Last Friday in Kansas basketball’s 95-50 win, Lightfoot scored 14 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and blocked 3 shots in only 14 minutes.
