Melvin Council Jr. had an incredible game against NC State, but he should be a fan favorite already. The way he plays, with tenacity, heart, and hustle, is endearing him to KU fans, and rightfully so.
On Saturday at NC State, Kansas basketball guard Melvin Council Jr. had a career night in the 77-76 overtime win. Council, whose career high in made three-point shots was four going into the game, had made just five of his 27 attempts from behind the arc as a Jayhawk.
