Jayhawks set for top-10 tilt at Texas Tech Saturday

Freshman F Silvio De Sousa 

LAWRENCE, Kan. – For the third time this season, Kansas will hit the road to take on a top-10 team when the No. 8/8 Jayhawks meet the No. 6/7-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday afternoon at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock. The contest features the top-two teams in the Big 12 standings, with KU holding a one-game edge over TTU heading into the final three games of the regular season. ESPN will also broadcast the game, with tip-off set for 3:15 p.m., and Dan Shulman (play-by-play), Jay Bilas (analyst) and Maria Taylor (reporter) calling the action.
 
TIP-OFF

• With three games left in the 2017-18 Big 12 season, Kansas (11-4) holds a one-game lead over Texas Tech (10-5), and a two-game advantage over West Virginia (9-6) and Kansas State (9-6).
• A win over the Red Raiders would clinch KU at least a share of its 14th-consecutive and 61st overall regular-season league title. Both marks would be NCAA records. KU would pass UCLA, who won 13-straight Pac-10 championships from 1967-79.
• No. 6/7 Texas Tech is the third top-10 team Kansas will play this season, with KU winning both the previous contests. The Jayhawks defeated then-No. 7/4 Kentucky, 65-61, on Nov. 14, and won at then-No. 6/7 West Virginia, 71-66, on Jan. 15.
• KU enters Saturday’s contest having won seven-straight true road games over Associated Press top-10 teams. Kansas’ last loss to a top-10 squad on the road came at No. 4 Missouri on Feb. 2, 2012.
• Hovering in the top-five most of the year, Kansas is No. 3 nationally in strength of schedule according to the NCAA. The Jayhawks are No. 6 in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) which is tops in the Big 12 (through games of Feb. 20).
• ESPN College GameDay will originate from Lubbock on Feb. 24. This will mark the second-straight week Kansas will be featured. Saturday will be KU’s 19th all-time appearance on the show which began during the 2004-05 season. KU is 10-5 in regular-season appearances on GameDay.
• Senior G Devonte’ Graham is the only player in NCAA Division I averaging 17.0-plus points, 7.0-plus assists, 1.7-plus steals and fewer than 3.0 turnovers per game. Graham is fifth nationally in assists per game at 7.2.
• Sophomore C Udoka Azubuike is 25-for-28 (89.2 percent) from the field in his last four games. He leads the country in field goal percentage this season at 77.1 percent.

Kansas is now tied with UCLA, which from 1967-79, also won the NCAA record of 13 straight, which was under two coaches. Kansas’ current run has been under head coach Bill Self.
 
RECORD BOOK REVIEW

• Here are some things to keep an eye on as several Jayhawks continue to make an impact on the career and single-season KU record books:
• This year’s KU squad is well on pace to break the program’s single-season 3-point record. The Jayhawks have connected on 286 treys this season, a number that is just 32 shy of the record mark of 318 set by last year’s squad.
• Senior Svi Mykhailiuk recently became the 60th player in KU history to score 1,000 points, currently at 1,041, which is 52nd. He is the 15th player in Bill Self’s 15 seasons at Kansas to reach the milestone. Mykhailiuk is four points shy from cracking the school’s all-time top 50 in scoring.
• Mykhailiuk is already seventh on the KU single-season 3-point field goals made list with 88. He is 10 threes from the top four and closing in on “Downtown” Terry Brown’s record of 111 treys hit during the 1990-91 season.
• And finally, Mykhailiuk is hoping to continue one of the most accurate 3-point shooting seasons ever by a Jayhawk. He has hit 44.9 percent of his tries from long-range, which is just outside the KU top-10.
• Against Baylor (2/6), senior Devonte’ Graham became the 22nd player in KU history to record 1,500 career points. He currently sits 17th at 1,569. Graham is the third player in school history to tally 1,500 points, 500 assists and 175 steals in a career. Darnell Valentine and Kirk Hinrich are the only other Jayhawks to hit those numbers. 
• In the Oklahoma contest on Feb. 19, Graham moved into second on the KU career 3-point field goals made list, currently at 270. Jeff Boschee (1999-2002) holds the season record at 338.
• Graham is logging 37.2 minutes per game this year, which ranks as the fifth most in a single season.
• Sophomore Udoka Azubuike is primed to become the most-efficient shooting Jayhawk in a single season. His 77.1 shooting clip is more than 12 percentage points better than Mark Randall’s record mark of 64.6 percent achieved during the 1988-89 campaign.

 
BIG 12 RUN NO CAKEWALK
Kansas once again finds itself near the top of the nation in the latest NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI). In Self’s first 14 seasons, KU has finished fifth or higher in the final RPI 10 times, including each of the last eight years. This season the strength of the Big 12 is quite prevalent. Kansas leads the league in RPI at sixth nationally and in strength of schedule at No. 3 (through games of Feb. 21). Texas Tech is second in RPI at 17th, while TCU is second in strength of schedule at 13th.
 
KANSAS CLAIMS 300TH BIG 12 WIN
Kansas’ win against Oklahoma gave KU its 300th Big 12 regular-season victory. In 22 seasons, the Jayhawks have amassed a record of 300-63 for an 82.6 win percentage. Only Texas (223) and Oklahoma (211) have claimed more than 200 victories in the Big 12 since the league’s inception in 1996-97. In its first 21 years as a Big 12 member, Kansas has won 17 regular-season league championships and has never finished lower than fifth in the final standings.
 
BACK-TO-BACK WEEKS FOR KU AND GAMEDAY
One week after hosting its eighth ESPN College GameDay Covered by State Farm, Kansas will be the road team when GameDay heads to Texas Tech, Feb. 24. The Texas Tech contest will mark the 19th time the Jayhawks will be featured on GameDay, with 15 regular-season appearances and three at neutral locations. After its 77-69 win against West Virginia (2/17), the Jayhawks are 10-5 in their previous regular-season appearances (13-5 overall).
 
The weekly-traveling telecast has originated from Allen Fieldhouse in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2018. KU was the GameDay road team in 2006, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. KU was also part of GameDay when it was at the 2006 Big 12 Championship semifinals in Dallas and the 2008 Final Four when Kansas won the title in San Antonio.
 
KU DUO NAMED TO ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS
Kansas men’s basketball senior Clay Young and sophomore Udoka Azubuike have been Academic All-Big 12, announced by the league office Feb. 22. Young was a first-team selection, while Azubuike is on the second team. A total of 31 student-athletes were named to the 2018 team.
 
Both Young and Azubuike are appearing on the Academic All-Big 12 Team for the first time. Young, from Lansing, Kansas, will graduate from KU in May 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in sport management. Azubuike, from Delta, Nigeria, is a liberal arts and sciences major.  Kansas has a league-leading 57 all-time Academic All-Big 12 honorees since the inception of the conference in 1996-97. Texas is second with 52. KU has 42 Academic All-Big 12 First Team honorees and 15 second-team selections. In the Bill Self era, Kansas has had 37 student-athletes named Academic All-Big 12, including 26 Jayhawks on the first-team.
 
THIS DAY IN KANSAS BASKETBALL HISTORY
Kansas is 22-13 all-time on Feb. 24
Feb. 24, 2002: Kansas defeated Nebraska, 88-87, en route to becoming the only team in Big 12 history to achieve a perfect 16-0 conference regular-season record. The Jayhawks’ Keith Langford hit a 3-pointer with 33 seconds remaining in KU’s come-from-behind victory at the Devaney Center. Kansas trailed by 12 points in the second half as Nebraska made 18 3-pointers for the game. KU’s Drew Gooden led all scorers with 26 points and 14 rebounds. KU went on to advance to the Final Four in Atlanta and finished with a 33-4 record.
 
KU FROM DOWNTOWN
Kansas leads the Big 12 with 10.2 3-point field goals made per game, which is 22nd nationally. The Jayhawks are second in the conference with a 39.7 3-point field goal percentage. Kansas has made 10 or more 3-pointers in seven conference games and 14 total in 2017-18. For the season, the Jayhawks are 12-2 in games where they have made 10 or more threes. KU has also been deadly from long range in Allen Fieldhouse, hitting 43.1 percent of its 3-point tries on its home floor. Both the 2015-16 and 2016-17 Jayhawk squads hit better than 44 percent from three on James Naismith Court.
 
Last year, KU set the school single-season 3-point record, making 318 from beyond the arc for 8.8 per game. Three of the last eight Jayhawk squads have averaged more than seven treys per game, with both of the last two KU teams hitting an average of eight or more threes per contest. This season’s team recently became the sixth KU squad to make 250 3-pointers in a season.
 
KANSAS VS TOP-25 TEAMS
With its 77-69 win against No. 20 West Virginia (2/17), Kansas is 4-3 against ranked foes this season. Under Bill Self, Kansas is 86-44 against AP ranked opponents. In his 15 seasons at KU, Self’s Jayhawks have collected four wins or more over top-25 ranked foes in 12 of those seasons, which includes a 31-15 record from 2014-present.
 
Kansas’ record against top-10 ranked opponents is even more impressive. KU is 14-3 against foes ranked inside the top-10 of the AP poll since 2013-14. This number includes the Jayhawks’ victory over Kentucky on Nov. 14 and at West Virginia on Jan. 15. Since Bill Self’s first season, the Jayhawks are 13-2 against AP top-10 teams inside Allen Fieldhouse, which includes KU’s current streak of nine-straight home victories against top-10 foes.
 
DEVONTE’ + SVI = THREES
The senior pairing of Devonte’ Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has established itself as one of the top long-range shooting duos in KU history. Already this year, the two Jayhawk guards have combined for 172 of KU’s 286 3-pointers, which is 60.1 percent of the team’s threes. The prolific outside shooting from these two is nothing new as they continue to move up the all-time KU 3-point charts.
 
Since the advent of the 3-point line prior to the 1986-87 season, no other Kansas duo has tallied more threes over a three-year stretch than the 448 that Graham and Mykhailiuk have combined for since the 2015-16 season. At Oklahoma (1/23), Graham and Mykhailiuk passed Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich as the most prolific 3-point shooting twosome in school history. Boschee and Hinrich amassed 405 treys while they played together from 2000-02.
 
Graham and Mykhailiuk are also among the most-accurate Jayhawk pairs. They have teamed up to shoot 41.6 percent from beyond the arc in that same three-year span, the third-best mark among KU teammates who have combined for 700 or more attempts. Rush and Chalmers boast the best combined percentage with a 42.7 percent (385-of-901) clip coming during their three seasons in Lawrence from 2006-08.
 
HISTORICALLY SPEAKING
Udoka Azubuike ranks first in NCAA Division I in field goal percentage at 77.1 percent and he is one of only two players shooting 70 percent or better with a minimum of five shots made per game (Doral Moore of Wake Forest at 70.6). Azubuike is on pace to break the Big 12 single-season record of 69.3 percent, set by Ricardo Ratliffe of Missouri in 2011-12.
 
History has shown that it isn’t easy to lead the nation in a statistic. In fact, checking the NCAA Records Book of annual leaders, only twice has a Jayhawk led the country in a season stat and both were KU All-Americans. KU legend Clyde Lovellette led the NCAA in scoring average in 1951-52 at 28.6 points per game. More recently, Thomas Robinson led the country in double-doubles with 27 during the 2011-12 season. Under Lovellette’s leadership KU won the 1952 NCAA National Championship, while Robinson led the Jayhawks to a runner-up finish in 2012.
 
With a minimum of 175 attempts, the Kansas single-season field goal percentage record is 64.6 percent by Mark Randall in 1988-89. Last year, Landen Lucas shot 63.1 percent from the field, which ranks fourth on the KU single-season list. On the NCAA level, with a minimum of five makes per game, there have been only 12 players who have shot 70 percent or better in a season, with the most recent being Devontae Cacok of UNC-Wilmington, who set the NCAA record last season (2016-17) at 80.0 percent.
 
WHAT ELSE TO WATCH FOR…

• Senior G Devonte’ Graham is quickly moving up the school’s all-time career lists. Graham entered his senior season No. 45 on the KU scoring list with 1,075 points. At West Virginia (1/15), Graham became the 22nd player in KU history to score 1,500 career points. He currently sits 17th with 1,569 points.
• Against Oklahoma (2/19), Graham moved into second all-time on the KU 3-point field goal list, currently at 270. Jeff Boschee (1999-2002) is first at 338.
• Entering 2017-18 with a 247-48 (83.7 percent) record since 2010, Kansas is the winningest program, by percentage, this decade: 1. KANSAS (247-48, 83.7%); 2. Gonzaga (239-47, 83.6%); 3. Kentucky (249-53, 82.5%); 4. Wichita State (233-53, 81.7); 5. Duke (238-56, 81.0%).
• The Jayhawks are pursuing their 14th-conseuctive Big 12 regular-season championship. A 14th league title would break UCLA’s NCAA record mark of 13-consecutive conference championships from 1967-79.

 
UP NEXT
Kansas will close out its home portion of the 2017-18 season when it plays host to Texas, Feb. 26, on ESPN Big Monday. Tip time from Allen Fieldhouse will be 8 p.m. Beginning in 1983-84, Kansas has won a mindboggling 34-straight home finales, which includes 33 Senior Nights. In 2007, KU did not have a senior on the roster.
 
Kansas will recognize three senior men’s basketball players – Devonte’ Graham, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Clay Young. Additionally, senior managers Brayden Carroll and Collin Cook will be introduced. The game will also mark the final home contest for Jayhawk IMG Radio Network producer/engineer Bob Newton who is retiring after 34 years of service to the network.
