Can the Kansas Jayhawks Maintain Their Momentum at Schollmaier Arena?

The Kansas Jayhawks emerged victorious with an 81-74 scoreline against the Horned Frogs, marking another successful outing for the team. The Jayhawks' season record now stands at a commendable 20-4, while their opponents sit at 17-7. The game was a showcase of offensive efficiency and resilience from both sides.

The Jayhawks displayed remarkable scoring consistency across all four quarters, starting with 16 points in the first and culminating with a strong finish of 24 points in the final quarter. Their shooting accuracy was on point, as they achieved a field goal percentage of 51 and were particularly effective from two-point range, hitting an impressive 54 percent of their attempts. From beyond the arc, they managed to sink seven out of sixteen attempts, translating to a solid three-point percentage of 44.

Kansas' defensive efforts were equally notable; they secured seven steals and put up four blocks throughout the game. This defensive pressure contributed to their ability to score fourteen points off turnovers.
