Michigan Transfer Hunter Dickinson has put himself in the early Player of the Year race (22pts / 13 rebs) per game.  Jayhawks struggled offensively in a Maui Shootout loss to an impressive Marquette squad, but KU’s defense has been as advertised so far this year – 4th nationally.

Boilers are rolling along led by last year’s Nation Player of the Year Zach Edey (22pts / 11 rebs) per game. 5th year Covid Senior (from Southern Illinois) Lance Jones (38% from 3pt range) has become the missing offensive perimeter piece Matt Painter needed last year.
