The Jayhawks and Tigers were still undefeated. But that was before last night! Facing Dayton, Kansas played with fire for a long time and ended up burning himself with a lucky shot but it fell inside Mustapha Amzil who chose his moment to take the only shot of his evening (74-73).
Ochai Agbaji (21 points) finished for the fifth time in five games as the Jayhawks’ top scorer, while Christian Braun and Remy Martin both brought in 17 points. But Kansas, with +3 with one minute left, failed to finish the job cleanly …
On the Brooklyn side, at the Barclays Center, Memphis and Iowa State met in the final of the “Season Tip off” tournament. And if Emoni Bates has found some colors with a 12-point game (and 3 blocks), his teammate Jalen Duren (2 points, 6 rebounds, 5 stray balls) is still precisely in the hard…
Conversely, Iowa State was able to count on a Gabe Kalscheur (30 points, 8 rebounds, 5 interceptions) at the top of his art to make the gap in the 2nd half. At +5 at the break, the Cyclones built a 25-length advantage without ever being worried and Kalscheur (a transfer from Minneosta) was quite logically elected MVP of the tournament.
For Memphis and his coach Penny Hardaway, it was grimace soup: “This loss hurts the guys. But they thought they could come here and beat Iowa State easily. But it doesn’t happen like that. “
