The Kansas Jayhawks secured their 48th straight home opener victory with a 89-64 win over the Omaha Mavericks. The Jayhawks, being led by Norm Roberts with Bill Self serving a 4 game suspension, played a tighter than expected game but ultimately came away with the win (or so I am told as ESPN+ did not want to cooperate tonight).
Gradey Dick and Jalen Wilson led scoring with 23 and 19 apiece. Wilson nearly had a triple double, ending the evening with 7 assists. Bobby Pettiford Jr proved to be a spark off the bench with 13 points off of 6-7 shooting.
