Kansas basketball had its options late, up three points with just a handful of seconds left. What happened, and how did that compare to the plan?

The Knights hit 14 3-pointers and registered 20 assists on 29 field goals, but came up just short of a signature road win at Kansas.

Kansas must prioritize containing Cryer, especially in transition and off screens. Guarding him will likely be a group effort, with Dajuan Harris Jr. expected to take on the primary defensive assignment. Harris’ ability to disrupt ball-handlers and contest shots will be critical in limiting Cryer’s impact.
