Kansas dominates Central Arkansas

Thursday, November 19, 2009

The No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks simply dominated the Central Arkansas Bears in every aspect of their 94-44 win.

Offensively, four separate Jayhawks tied for the team lead in points with twelve. The offensive performance signifies a massive turnaround for Kansas.

In their last game, a narrow 55-57 victory over the Memphis Tigers, Kansas had a shooting percentage of 46.5, but only made 20 baskets. Tonight, the Jayhawks improved to a 55.9 field goal while making 33 of 59 field goal attempts.

Kansas also locked down Central Arkansas on the defensive side of the ball. The Jayhawks forced 18 turnovers and held the Bears to a 25.5 field goal percentage on 14 makes out of 55 field goal attempts. Jared Rehmel led the Bears with 11 points.

Rebounds were the only area where the Bears seemed to match up with Jayhawks, who are the preseason pick to win the Big 12. Central Arkansas’ 34 rebounds were two shy of the 36 boards that Kansas snared. Seventeen of the Bears rebounds were offensive boards, which can often lead to second chance points. Even those opportunities couldn’t save the Bears from the Jayhawks offensive and defensive onslaught.

Perhaps one of the biggest improvements in this game for the Jayhawks lies in the turnover battle. Against Memphis, Kansas lost the ball 21 times while taking it away only thirteen times. Tonight the Jayhawks turned the ball over only seven times.

Kansas will be in action again Wednesday Nov. 25 against Oakland.
