Kansas senior Landen Lucas wasn’t surprised 6-foot-10 forward Carlton Bragg swished a 15-foot baseline jumper and a shot from the top of the key to go with three inside buckets in Saturday’s 90-85 victory over Oklahoma State at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.
“That’s kind of what he does well,” Lucas said of Bragg drifting outside for jumpers — a trait seen more often at practice than in games during Bragg’s sophomore season.
“He hasn’t too much this season, but he came out here and shot with confidence,” Lucas added of the 240-pound Cleveland native, who hit 5 of 6 shots and scored 11 points (with three rebounds in 18 minutes) for his second double-digit scoring outburst in the last four games.
