The Kansas Jayhawks are up 37-35 on the Memphis Tigers at halftime despite some uncharacteristically sloppy play. Three Jayhawks players have three or more turnovers, and the team has given the ball away 12 times already. Guard Brady Morningstar leads with four.
Memphis Vs. Kansas Score: Jayhawks Hold Slim Halftime Edge
They’re making it up by outshooting the Tigers, connecting on 51.7 percent of their shots (and 57.1 percent of their threes) while Memphis shoots 39.4 percent. Dominating the boards has helped too — the Jayhawks hold a 20-to-12 rebounding advantage largely thanks to forward Thomas Robinson pulling down eight. Robinson has collected ten rebounds in two games this year.
Kansas has led by as many as nine, and hasn’t trailed since about the 11-minute mark.
Tigers guard Chris Crawford leads all scorers with 12, approaching his season high of 16. He’s followed by a pair of Jayhawks, guard Tyshawn Taylor has eight and forward Marcus Morris has seven.
