Jayhawks Set to Shock Wichita State at T-Mobile Center
As the Kansas Jayhawks prepare to face the Wichita State Shockers on December 30th, fans should be brimming with confidence. The Jayhawks' recent performances have been nothing short of dominant, and there's every reason to believe that trend will continue at the T-Mobile Center.
In their last outing on December 23rd against Yale Bulldogs, KU showcased a masterclass in basketball efficiency. With a final score of 75-60, it was clear that Kansas had control throughout the game. The Jayhawks' scoring was balanced across both halves, but it was their second-half performance that truly sealed the deal with an impressive 43 points. Their shooting from beyond the arc stood out at an exceptional 45 percent success rate.
KU's defensive prowess cannot be overlooked either; they racked up six blocks and ten steals against Yale, a testament to their ability to disrupt opposition plays. Moreover, their assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.64 indicates a team that is not only creating opportunities but also taking care of the ball.
The previous game against Indiana Hoosiers on December 16th further solidifies KU's status as favorites for their upcoming match-up. Despite playing away from home in Bloomington and facing a raucous crowd at Assembly Hall, Kansas emerged victorious with a tight scoreline of 75-71. Once again demonstrating composure under pressure and an ability to close out games.
Looking back even further to December 9th when KU hosted Missouri Tigers at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, we saw another robust performance by Kansas ending in a win with a score of 73-64. Their rebounding was particularly noteworthy as they outrebounded Missouri by an impressive margin – grabbing seven more boards than their opponents which included eleven offensive rebounds leading to seventeen second-chance points.
The upcoming clash with Wichita State is expected to follow this pattern of dominance by KU. The Shockers will undoubtedly put up resistance; however, given Kansas' recent form – especially in terms of scoring efficiency (47 percent field goal percentage against Yale), defensive solidity (averaging six blocks over past games), and clutch free throw shooting (100 percent free throws made against Yale) – it seems likely that KU will carry the day once more.
