1 – Kevin McCullar Jr. – The big tie-up late was huge, but so were McCullar’s instincts, reads and all-out effort on the defensive end. And just for good measure he also added 15 points and 7 rebounds. Kansas coach Bill Self marveled at McCullar’s defense after the hard-earned, 63-58 ...
1 – Dajuan Harris Jr. – The defense in the second half was elite, but his offense was equally as important to the outcome of the game. KU doesn’t win this game if Harris doesn’t assert himself on the offensive end in the second half. And he did just that, starting on the first play of ...
1 – Gradey Dick – The freshman was so good in the later part of the first half and to open the second half, and his jumper single-handedly put Kansas in charge and left the Cowboys playing catch-up the rest of the night in Tuesday’s 87-76 Kansas victory. Dick had everything working in ...

**1 – Jalen Wilson –** Wilson was spectacular once again on Saturday, scoring 26 points to lead all scorers and getting to the free throw line 11 times after drawing nine fouls in KU's 68-53 loss at Iowa State. He single-handedly willed Kansas into Saturday’s 68-53 loss at Iowa State ...
**1 – Dajuan Harris Jr. –** To start, let’s point out that just about everybody played a key role in this one, which was part of the reason Kansas played so well in its 90-78 win over Kansas State. But Harris might have been the best of the bunch. Not just because he scored a ...
**1 – Jalen Wilson –** There were a couple of Jayhawks who played really big games but had much smaller roles, so it wasn’t that easy to put them ahead of Wilson after the Jayhawks’ 77-68 win at Kentucky. And why would you? Wilson played arguably his best all-around game of the ...
