2. KU will be able to push the pace as well as anyone

Having the privilege of watching fastbreak offense, high-flying guards, and constant alley-oops was a delight yesterday afternoon. I haven’t watched many KU teams with as many players who push the pace as this squad does, especially Elmarko Jackson, Arterio Morris, and KJ Adams.

The Jayhawks will always have Dajuan Harris to run sets and establish the tempo of the offense, but I like what the other guards are bringing to the table as well. Mixing those two types of players together will be KU’s yin and yang, and I’m all here for it.
