Lawrence, KS – No. 1 Kansas cruised to an 86-51 victory over Furman on Saturday night. Led by KJ Adams’ career-high 22 points, the Jayhawks outscored the Paladins 30-9 to close the first half and open the second.
Hunter Dickinson contributed 10 points and 6 rebounds for the undefeated Jayhawks (7-0). Kansas effectively navigated a potential trap game between their high-profile win over Duke and their upcoming matchup against Creighton.
Furman, previously undefeated at 7-1, struggled to maintain their early momentum. Despite a hot start from beyond the arc, the Paladins’ offense cooled significantly, shooting just 2-16 from three-point range in the first half.
GAME NOTES:
- Kansas: The Jayhawks’ dominant second-half performance, fueled by Adams’ efficient scoring, was decisive.
- Furman: The Paladins’ inability to sustain their early offensive success proved costly.
