Kansas' Kevin McCullar Jr. sidelined for NCAA Tournament due to knee injury

Kansas' leading scorer, Kevin McCullar Jr., will miss the NCAA Tournament due to a knee injury, impacting the team's chances. With McCullar out, Kansas faces a tough matchup against Samford, known for its up-tempo style and deep bench. The absence of McCullar puts pressure on other players, particularly big man Hunter Dickinson, and highlights Kansas' lack of depth. Coach Bill Self will need to rely on a short bench and make strategic adjustments to compensate for McCullar's absence.
