Samford game tests Jayhawks without McCullar in Salt Lake City
No. 4 Kansas, minus graduate guard Kevin McCullar Jr. with a nagging bone bruise, starts a reshaped lineup led by Hunter Dickinson against No. 13 seed Samford at Delta Center. KU must manage Samford’s fast pace and three point shooting while Dickinson returns from a dislocated shoulder. Key role players include Elmarko Jackson or Nick Timberlake and KJ Adams stepping up amid the pressure.
