KANSAS JAYHAWKS NEWS

Dajuan Harris - Strong scoring and defensive outing Harris closed Saturday's 76-74 victory over West Virginia with 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists and six steals in 36 minutes.

Impact Harris logged a new season high in steals while also scoring in double figures for the fifth time in the last eight games. The 6-foot-1 junior appears to have fully bounced back from his roughest stretch of the season through the middle of January, as he's now averaged 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.4 steals across the eight games dating back to Jan. 31. Harris has also committed just 1.5 turnovers per game over this span. He'll look to maintain this highly efficient form during Kansas' final two regular-season games versus Texas Tech on Tuesday and at Texas this coming Saturday.

Gradey Dick - Lights it up beyond the arc Dick closed with 16 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 victory over West Virginia.

Impact Dick hit at least five three-pointers for the third time this season, as he's now converted 41.8 percent of his 5.9 attempts from beyond the arc per game. The 6-foot-8 freshman has also averaged 5.0 rebounds to go along with 14.9 points per game across his 29 starts. Additionally, Dick's scoring average has jumped up to 17.7 points per game across the last six contests. He'll have two tough matchups to end the regular season versus Texas Tech on Wednesday and Texas next Saturday, both of which have held opposing three-point shooters below 34 percent this season.

KJ Adams - Plays 37 minutes in last-minute win Adams provided 13 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 victory over West Virginia.

Impact Adams logged a new season high in playing time during Saturday's clutch win for the Jayhawks' defense. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has been the least productive piece of Kansas' starting five this season, though he tied junior Jalen Wilson and freshman Gradey Dick for a team high in rebounds Saturday. Adams also totaled just one fewer assist than point guard Dajuan Harris versus the Mountaineers. Adams has now averaged 11.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists while playing 27.8 minutes per game over the last six contests. However, this includes two outings of 21 minutes or less versus Oklahoma on Feb. 11 and Oklahoma State on Feb. 14.

Jalen Wilson - Posts double-double in comeback win Wilson chipped in 21 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 win over Baylor.

Impact Wilson played a major role as the Jayhawks dug their way out of a 45-32 first-half deficit, logging 12 points and eight boards during the second period of play. As a result, the 6-foot-8 junior logged his ninth double-double of the season and his first since the Jan. 14 win against Iowa State. This was also Wilson's sixth game with double-digit free-throw attempts, and he's now averaged 5.5 trips to the charity stripe per game. He'll look to maintain his status as one of the country's most productive players during Monday's contest at TCU.

Zach Clemence - DNP vs. Baylor Clemence did not play during the Jayhawks' 87-71 win Saturday versus Baylor.

Kevin McCullar - Nine points, eight rebounds McCullar closed with nine points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 win over Baylor.

Impact McCullar's latest log is not bad but relatively unimpressive, considering he logged at least 10 points, 10 rebounds or both during each of his previous eight games. On the plus side, his previous ankle injury is not expected to prevent him from playing, so he will have opportunities of redeeming himself across future games the Jayhawks play.

Dajuan Harris - Records nine assists Harris finished with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, nine assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 win over Baylor.

Impact Harris logged nine assists during each of Kansas' last home and away games played. With him being a more formidable distributor than before, he will be a promising fantasy option as the Jayhawks are expected to play a competitive matchup Monday at TCU.
