Living up to pre-season expectations is always a difficult task at a blue-blood school such as Kansas. And it’s no secret that the 2018-19 Kansas basketball season has been a disappointment up to this point.
The Jayhawks came into the season knowing without question that their greatest strength lied in the frontcourt and their weakness was from behind the three-point line. That weakness glared its ugly head as Kansas lost two dominant big men in junior center Udoka Azubuike and sophomore forward Silvio De Sousa, along with 45% three-point shooter senior guard LaGareld Vick, due to a personal leave of absence.
