Coach Townsend and I support KU’s decision to self impose these sanctions. We are in good hands with Coach Roberts and I am confident that he will do a great job in leading our team.

Following Kansas 82-76 win over Southern Utah Acting Head Coach current Assistant Coach for Kansas Norm Roberts had this to say about Jalen Wilson, about Kansas 82-76 win over Southern Utah!

He was terrific . He was really efficient. He made some big plays for us.

“We weren’t very good, but give them credit,” he said. “They played really well. They made some key shots. We were just off in everything we did.

“They played exactly how we thought they were going to play. We just didn’t have good body movement and we talked about that before the game. We had so many ill-advised turnovers that they did nothing to cause. We’ve got to clean up a lot of that.”
