A horrible way to end the season; with Braun, Agbaji, and McCormack having either their worst or second-worst individual games. Some of this was due to USC shooting well, yet much of that was due to poor defense by these starters. USC got whatever shot it wanted.
On the positive side, Tyon Grant-Foster provided instant offense and made some nice defensive plays. Michael Jankovich, in his first minutes of the season, got in the scorebook. Lattrell Jossell got KU over the 50-point mark after getting fouled in transition.
Once again, Marcus Garrett scored team-high honors. He was the only Jayhawk in double-figures with 15 points, and guarded USC’s lottery-pick for much of the contest before succumbing to foul trouble. Even though it was a down defensive game by his standards, Garrett was the only KU starter who did anything well on either end and did so giving up seven inches of height. He is a legitimate player and competitor, one who should be appreciated for the defensive value he provides. If this was his last game as a Jayhawk, it should be noted that he had nothing to do with the final score being what it was.
