In their recent victory against Yale Bulldogs, the Jayhawks demonstrated remarkable accuracy from the free-throw line, hitting 100 percent of their shots. Their field goal percentage stood at a commendable 47 percent, and they managed to convert 45 percent of their three-point attempts into points on the scoreboard. This level of precision will be crucial as they face off against the Cowboys.

Additionally, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of over one and a half times better than that of Yale's during this encounter, it is clear that ball handling and distribution have been areas where Kansas excels.
