A recurring problem has plagued Kansas’ No. 1-ranked basketball team this preseason.
“This is the fourth time we have either played a game or scrimmaged 40 minutes with officials. We’ve had 22, 21, 21 and 22 turnovers, so our consistency in turning the ball over has been apparent,” KU coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks committed 22 turnovers in a somewhat sloppy 93-55 victory over Emporia State last Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
“We’ve got to get to where we don’t turn it over,” Self added.
Frontcourt players Udoka Azubuike, Dedric Lawson, David McCormack and Mitch Lightfoot combined for 15 of the Jayhawks’ 22 turnovers in the preseason opener.
