17 points for Kansas freshman Johnny Furphy in a win over Houston, the No. 1 defense in college basketball, continuing his absolutely scorching past few weeks. Now 16/29 for 3 over the last 6 games, with a bunch of great plays in transition mixed in. https://t.co/4FrFTutaRc

Kelvin Sampson: “I told them I was disappointed in their effort. That’s not who we are. … but Kansas shot the piss out of it:”
The Jayhawks just shot 68.9% from the field against arguably the best defensive team in the country, and won by 13 despite a -15 turnover differential. Don't see that often
Via @ESPNStatsInfo: Kansas' 68.9% shooting performance today against Houston was the highest any team has shot against the Cougars since Kelvin Sampson took over in 2014. https://t.co/FmzrTK7mKF
