After hitting just one of his last eight three-point attempts over three games, Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji attempted a season-high eight shots from beyond the arc on Saturday at Oklahoma State.
The 6-foot-5 freshman’s willingness to hoist outside shots without hesitation impressed KU coach Bill Self as much as his three makes and 11 points in KU’s 72-67 victory over the Cowboys at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
“For him to shoot eight threes in a time when he is kind of struggling, I thought that showed some courage right there,” Self said.
Agbaji hit one of the biggest shots of the game — a three with 5:44 left that cut a 62-57 deficit to 62-60.
