LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas’ No. 4-ranked men’s basketball team will take a sparkling 11-1 record into the start of Big 12 Conference play against Oklahoma State on New Year’s Eve.
Jalen Wilson scored 21 points (and hit 1,000 for his career) and grabbed six rebounds while Kevin McCullar added 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Jayhawks, winners of five consecutive games, completed the bulk of their 2022-23 nonleague slate with a 68-54 victory over Harvard on Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
KU, which led by nine points at 8:45 but had some trouble pulling away from a pesky Harvard team, has just one nonconference game left to play — Jan. 28 at Kentucky in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
