Kansas’ early barrage of three-point shots against Iowa State surprised just about everybody in Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night, including Bill Self.
“We were so impatient early. I felt from the bench we didn’t have any control because they were just clipping ’em off,” Self said of his four-guard/one big lineup, which accounted for 14 three-point attempts in the first 17 shots of an 83-78 victory over the Cyclones.
“Certainly we didn’t put any pressure on the defense at all,” Self added.
He has mixed emotions when his Jayhawks (13-3, 3-1), who have relied on three-pointers extensively this season, start launching them from all over the court.
