Kansas’ four-freshman/one-junior starting lineup — one that appears to have helped rejuvenate a basketball team that had lost four of six games — will take a perfect 2-0 record into Saturday’s 3 p.m. home battle against West Virginia.
First-year sensation Ochai Agbaji, who had his redshirt lifted 11 games ago, and junior All-America candidate Dedric Lawson have joined 2018 McDonald’s All-Americans Devon Dotson, Quentin Grimes and David McCormack to form a group that opened an 84-72 home victory over Oklahoma State on Feb. 9 and Monday’s 82-77 overtime win at TCU.
“Other than youthfulness, we all bring energy,” KU freshman power forward McCormack said, commenting on the strengths of the four freshmen.
