Game Preview
Kansas might have a hard time making a Final Four run with Kevin McCullar Jr. ruled out and Hunter Dickinson also hindered by an injury.
But another question has begun hovering over the Jayhawks: Can they avoid the first-round upset bid of high-octane, high-intensity Samford?
The fourth-seeded Jayhawks (22-10) hope to have the Dickinson’s services when they oppose the 13th-seeded Bulldogs (29-5) on Thursday in Midwest Region play at Salt Lake City.
