Self confident KU freshman Grimes will shake slump: ‘He’ll get out of it’

Quentin Grimes led all scorers in Kansas’ 92-87 season-opening victory over Michigan State at the Champions Classic in Indianapolis.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound McDonald’s All-American and MVP of last summer’s FIBA Americas Under-18 World Championships followed that clutch 21-point, four-assist outing with 10 points and 10 assists in an 84-68 home victory over Vermont.

Since then?

“He’s in a funk. I mean that’s just calling it like it is,” KU basketball coach Bill Self said Saturday when asked specifically about Grimes. The Woodlands, Texas native scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting (0-for-3 from three) with a rebound and a turnover in 16 minutes in KU’s 90-84 overtime win over Stanford at Allen Fieldhouse.
