Bill Self reveals fears about Kevin McCullar's status
Kevin McCullar was absent once more from the Kansas lineup, increasing fears that his bone bruise injury could sideline him for the rest of the season.
Coach Bill Self for the first time joined on this fears, telling the media postgame:
“My concern is: Will he play again this year? It’s not a day-to-day deal. It’s a week-to-week deal. He obviously won’t go on Tuesday (vs. BYU). I’m not going to put him out there because he’s missed so much time, even though you can look at games and number of games missed, but that’s not the story.
"The story is he played against OU and (before that) had two days of a little bit of practice and then played. He wasn’t effective and it didn’t feel good at all. He’s going to practice for a good week before we put him out there so that he can go and not re-injure it worse. The big thing is I’d like to have him for the postseason where he’s in rhythm and our team has a chance to be the best it can be going into the second week of March.”
For the time being, it looks like Kansas will have to rely on Hunter Dickinson and others for their scoring power.
