The play was meant for Malik Newman. Let’s start with that.
Kansas was already well on its way to a 96-58 victory over Toledo — putting up at least 55 first-half points for a fourth straight game — when it held for the final shot before the break.
The call was meant to get Newman a shot in the corner. That didn’t happen.
And KU ended up with three points anyway.
