In other news, the Kansas Jayhawk basketball team took to the court Thursday night for a "game" against the Central Arkansas Bears. Good game all around for the Jayhawks perhaps heeding the wake up call issued by the Tigers of Memphis on Tuesday night. Granted this isn't exactly the litmus test for success but it was a game and Kansas handled business the way the number one team should. Now, on to the rearview.
A big run early in this one left little doubt to the final result. Hell, a glance at the scoreboard before the game and seeing the words "Central Arkansas" as the opponent left little doubt. I'm with KG on this one, why did we schedule this game?
Kansas overwhelmingly wins the field goal percentage battle in this one and did a nice job of taking care of the baseketball. Struggled in the rebounding department which definitely comes as a surprise. UCA finished with 19 offensive boards. That's a problem if we are playing a better team. Something to work on in practice Coach.

From a team standpoint a much better job taking care of the ball than against Memphis and once again a solid defensive performance by the Jayhawks. Stat of the day has to be the difference in field goal percentages. 56% for the Jayhawks with 57% from the three. 25% for the Bears and only 7% from three. Hard to imagine a scenario where you lose with that variance. Might also explain why the Bears had so many offensive boards, they missed a lot of damn shots.
Even in the exhibition games last year we didn't see a chart with this many colors. The Kansas bench got a little deeper last night too as CJ Henry finally stepped onto the court. Not a bad little game in his limited minutes. Seriously 11 deep? 11 guys that played minutes at a point in the game where it's not considered a courtesy to let the player on the court. Granted I expect less Connor Teahan as time goes but still pretty nice to see the depth. What's even better is the balance in contribution related to that depth. Now we just need to do it against a real opponent and I'll be on the Bensa 40-0 bandwagon.
