2. KJ Adams
KJ Adams was KU’s most ineffective player in the second half as his struggles continued. He played 30 minutes, shot 2-for-5 from the field, and finished with six points and four turnovers. During Kansas’ biggest offensive rut, he failed to contribute on either end as the team collapsed.
The senior forward disrupted the offense’s rhythm by taking consecutive missed push shots that were poorly timed. His shooting percentage has now dropped below 50% for the season. Late in games, he has become nearly unplayable due to his offensive limitations. Adams’ ongoing struggles have made it difficult for Kansas to rely on him in crucial moments.
