GAME DAY: USC vs. WisconsinWisconsin has reached the title game in each of its two previous trips to the Battle4Atlantis.
Kevin McCullar - No. 2 scorer in OT winMcCullar accumulated 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 69-68 OT win over...
ImpactMcCullar logged season highs in points and field-goal attempts while serving as the Jayhawks' second-leading scorer behind returning junior Jalen Wilson (29 points, 14 rebounds, 2-6 3Pt, 9-14 FT). Over his first six games with Kansas, the Texas Tech transfer has played third fiddle behind Wilson and freshman guard Gradey Dick on the offensive end of the court. However, McCullar's experience as one of the Red Raiders' top-scoring options from the past two seasons should continue to prove valuable for the Jayhawks' new-look starting five. He'll look to keep up this important role against Tennessee on Friday.

Gradey Dick - Three-point specialist in winDick posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and five rebounds over 35 minutes during Thursday's 69-68 OT win over Wisconsin.
ImpactDick helped the Jayhawks establish a comfortable 33-20 heading into the second half, as he went 3-for-6 from beyond the arc in the first half. The freshman forward faded into the background as Wisconsin made a second-half comeback, as Jayhawks leading scorer Jalen Wilson (29 points, 14 rebounds, 2-6 3Pt, 9-14 FT ) picked up the slack. Dick logged at least double-digit field-goal attempts in each of the first five games of the season, and he'll look to provide more in the way of scoring against Tennessee on Friday.

Jalen Wilson - Explodes in OT winWilson racked up 29 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-14 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes during Thursday's 69-68 OT win over Wisconsin.
ImpactWilson finished with a game highs in points and rebounds while battling down low with Badgers forward Tyler Wahl, who drew the assignment of slowing down the Jayhawks' leading scorer. The Kansas big man also recorded a season high in free throw attempts by putting pressure on Wisconsin's stout defense. After playing a supporting role in Kansas' championship starting five last season, Wilson has quickly emerged as a double-digit machine this season, averaging 24.3 points and 10.3 rebounds over six games.
