Defending champion Baylor once again has a 1-seed in Mike DeCourcy's latest bracket projections. Check out the entire field!JANUARY 25, 2022
To be the man, you have to take (and make) that shot: The evolution of Kansas' Ochai Agbaji into a starAgbaji scored 37 points Monday night against Texas Tech, including a thrilling 3 at the end of the first OT to a game the Jayhawks won.

Jalen Wilson - One point shy of double-doubleWilson totaled nine points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals over 48 minutes during Monday's 94-91 2OT win over Texas Tech.
ImpactWilson ended up just one point shy of his second straight double-double. He is at his most dangerous when grabbing the defensive rebound and leading the fast break. Over the last four contests, Wilson is putting up 16.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals per game. He will hope to continue that on Saturday against Kentucky.

Christian Braun - Six assists in 2OT winBraun chipped in 15 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in 48 minutes during Monday's 94-91 2OT victory over Texas Tech.
ImpactThis was not one of Braun's better shooting games, but he played 48-of-50 minutes and tied a season high with his six assists. Braun has now failed to score in double figures just twice this season and has been easily the second-most consistent player on the Jayhawks outside of Ochai Agbaji. Kansas will take on Kentucky in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Saturday.

David McCormack - 13 points in win over TTUMcCormack closed Monday's 94-91 2OT win over Texas Tech with 13 points (3-5 FG, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.
ImpactSince returning to the starting lineup four games ago, McCormack is averaging 12.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game. When at his best, McCormack is extremely active on the offensive glass and able to make good decisions in the post. He will have a fun matchup to watch on Saturday against Kentucky and Oscar Tshiebwe.

Ochai Agbaji - Carries KU with 37 pointsAgbaji recorded 37 points (13-23 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 46 minutes during Monday's 94-91 2OT victory over Texas Tech.
ImpactAgbaji further solidified his status as one of the favorites for the Naismith Player of the Year trophy. His 37 points were a career high, which included a late game-tying three-pointer to send this game to a second overtime. Over the last six games, Agbaji is averaging 23.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.2 three-pointers per contest. Kansas has some other nice pieces, but Agbaji has the ability to take over a game and carry a team to a win by himself.
