McCullar scores career-best 34 points, No. 2 Kansas pulls away late for 75-60 win over Yale

Associated Press  

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kevin McCullar Jr. was going IN for a layup in practice this week when one of his Kansas teammates landed on his head. The veteran guard poured in a career-high 34 points against Yale, taking over during a second-half run that gave the Jayhawks the lead, and the nation’s second-ranked team eventually pulled away for a 75-60 win over the Bulldogs. Easily one of the toughest players I’ve played with.” Dajuan Harris Jr. added 10 points and six assists for the Jayhawks, who trailed by as many as 11 in the first half and by a point at the break before making the final appear much more comfortable than it was all night. “The last 24 minutes I thought we were pretty good.” Kansas has had trouble with trap-type games this season, stumbling past Eastern Illinois between the Maui Invitational and a showdown with UConn, and struggling to overcome a slow start against Kansas City before facing rival Missouri. Now comes a break before facing Wichita State in Kansas City, Missouri, in the Jayhawks’ final tuneup before Big 12 play.
