KU freshman guard Agbaji has yet to commit a turnover heading into Big Monday game
Steady freshman Ochai Agbaji has been turnover-free in one Big 12 home game and one road contest since having his redshirt lifted at Kansas.
That’s mistake-free basketball in 46 total minutes against TCU and Baylor heading into a Big Monday battle against Texas at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
“Ochai had the most poise of anybody out there down the stretch,” KU coach Bill Self said of the 6-foot-5 Oak Park High School graduate, who scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds while playing 21 minutes in Saturday’s 73-68 victory at Baylor.
He kept his composure in the final minutes as Baylor cut KU’s 23-point lead with 6 1/2 minutes left to just four points during crunch time.
