The Jayhawks’ three-big lineup featuring Hunter Dickinson, KJ Adams Jr., and Flory Bidunga helped power them to a 91-87 victory over UCF at Allen Fieldhouse. Adams made his return to the lineup after missing time with a shoulder injury earlier this month, and his presence was a major boost for Kansas.

For the Jayhawks, the answer is clear — his defender needs to get in his airspace on 3-pointers and recover if he fakes the shot to drive. It will be a big test for freshman Flory Bidunga, with KJ Adams out. The Knights will look to get revenge after the Jayhawks destroyed them by 51 — 99-48 — earlier in January.
