Dick scores 26 as No. 5 Kansas beats Oklahoma State 87-76

Wilson output not a problem Dick logged 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 35 minutes during the Jayhawks' 88-80 win Monday versus Texas.

Impact Jalen Wilson was expected to be the Jayhawks' best scorer against Texas after he logged a 26.5-point average across their previous six games. He made only one field goal, recorded three turnovers and committed four fouls instead. Dick stepped up to help the Jayhawks win though. He was their best scorer Monday, when No. 5 Texas improved from 10.

Dreadful outing in loss Dick posted seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 30 minutes during Saturday's 68-53 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Dick was held to his season low for points in this standout defensive performance for Iowa State. The freshman sharpshooter also committed five of the Jayhawks' 20 turnovers against the Cyclones, who rank first in the nation for opponent turnover percentage at 23.6 percent. Dick will look to recover from this sloppy performance when the Jayhawks welcome the Longhorns to Manhattan on Monday night.

Decent outing in win Dick notched 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 77-68 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Dick was not able to replicate his 8-of-13 shooting performance from Monday's loss to Baylor, as he hit fewer than five field goals for the third time in the last four games. The freshman sharpshooter has converted 38 percent of his 12.5 field-goal tries and just 23.1 percent of his 6.5 three-point attempts per game during this span. However, he's still averaged 15.3 points and 5.0 boards over that stretch. Dick has also shot 42.7 percent from beyond the arc and 44.9 percent from the field overall this season, providing confidence that he'll eventually manage to break this shooting slump.

Impact Dick was one of two Jayhawks starters to foul out along with sophomore forward K.J. Adams. The freshman shooting guard had a rough night on the offensive end, though he still managed to put up double-digit points for the 14th time this season thanks to his season high in free-throw attempts and makes. Dick also logged one of the best defensive performances of his young career, including just his third and fourth blocks of the 2022-23 campaign. He will look to bounce back from this inefficient shooting performance Saturday against TCU.

Off shooting night vs Sooners Dick provided eight points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 79-75 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Dick scored fewer than 11 points for just the fourth time this season. While he logged a season-worst one made field goal, the 6-foot-8 freshman slightly made up for this by matching his season high for free-throw tries. Dick still far and away leads the Jayhawks' starting five in all-around three-point shooting with a 47.2 percent conversion rate on his 5.6 three-point tries per game. He's also third on the team in rebounds per game (5.3), and he should continue to put up productive stats while playing over 30 minutes in almost every game.

He's also taken just over half of his field-goal attempts from long range, and he'll likely continue to do so against Indiana next Saturday.

Three-point specialist in win Dick posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and five rebounds over 35 minutes during Thursday's 69-68 OT win over Wisconsin.

Impact Dick 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.
