Vick’s been the story, but McCormack playing well, too, KU’s Self maintains

Kansas’ basketball players and coaches have been quick to shower superlatives on senior Lagerald Vick for his back-to-back 30-plus point performances.

“He’s a really talented kid. His attitude has certainly been terrific,” KU coach Bill Self said of the 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Memphis, also referred to by Self as “the hottest player in America right now.”

Vick scored 32 points in Monday’s 84-68 victory over Vermont and 33 in Friday’s 89-76 victory over Louisiana, both at Allen Fieldhouse. He’s made 15 of his last 20 threes over two games.

“I mean, he’s a madman,” KU freshman forward David McCormack said of Vick, who has averaged 22.
