When Malik Newman got to Kansas, the understanding was that the McDonald's All-American transfer from Mississippi State would play only one year in Lawrence. While that proved to be true, that one year didn't turn out quite as anyone expected.
After being up and down (and occasionally sluggish) through most of the season, Newman caught fire in March, scorching the nets for 72 points (24 ppg) in the Big 12 Tournament, followed by 108 points (21.6 ppg) in the Big Dance. During that time, he shot 30-56 (53.6%) from beyond the three point line. Not a bad impression to make as he goes to a league that values shooting above all else.
