With tough games night in and night out the rest of the way, it’s possible the Jayhawks will be underdogs until the end of the season. Rather than look at that as a negative, first-year coach Brandon Schneider has spun it into a positive and used it as a rallying cry for his young team. “Our big thing (is), just don’t be timid in anything we do, don’t second-guess yourself,” Schneider said. “Even though you’re that team that’s not supposed to win doesn’t mean you have to back down or be timid. You still have to be aggressive.”
