Kansas opened the 2018-19 Big 12 basketball season against Oklahoma on Jan. 2 — way back when Quentin Grimes appeared to be headed toward a wildly successful freshman campaign.
The 6-foot-5 Grimes — who had 21 points against Michigan State, 10 points and 10 assists versus Vermont, 14 points against Wofford and 16 points versus Eastern Michigan to highlight his first collegiate nonconference season — scored 14 points in the Jayhawks’ 70-63 victory over the Sooners at Allen Fieldhouse.
He followed that by scoring 19 points in a 77-60 loss to Iowa State on Jan. 5 in Ames, Iowa.
