Tonight, the Jayhawks take on Stephen F Austin of Nacogdoches, TX. The Lumberjacks are 8-3, boasting wins over decent teams like Liberty and Buffalo, but it should be noted that four of those wins are over D2 schools, and they’re coming off an 82-69 home loss to KenPom’s 212th ranked team in Louisiana Monroe.
For SFA themselves, KenPom ranks them 154th, with roughly even offense and defense, ranked 175th and 145th respectively. Bart Torvik’s ratings view them very similarly, placing them at 151st in D1. The first thing people like to know about a relatively little-known mid-major opponent is generally: how well do they shoot the three?
