The shots weren’t always falling, and if they were, this would have likely been a more comfortable ending, but Kansas showed it has been improving in the key areas it needed to address as it took out No. 15 Texas Tech 67-61 to extend the win streak to five games.
The defense was swarming, David McCormack was in beast mode, the passing was much improved, and the carelessness was mostly non-existent. Maybe the most telling and promising factor: when a ball was up for grabs, more times than not, a Jayhawk secured it.
It was a rare and welcomed sight early: a quick start for the Jayhawks as KU jumped out to a 10-2 lead.
