Impact Moore has missed the last six games but appears to be trending towards being available for Thursday's Big 12 Tournament clash.

Hunter Dickinson - Dominates in OT win Dickinson amassed 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 OT win over UCF.

Impact Dickinson recorded his sixth double-double in seven games, connecting on 3-of-4 beyond the arc to top 20 points for the 11th time this season. Despite the late-season struggles for the Jayhawks, the senior center is averaging 24.9 points and 10.0 rebounds per contest over the last 11 games. The Jayhawks will look to continue their Big 12 tournament run Thursday against Arizona and build some much-needed momentum heading into next week's NCAA tournament.

Zeke Mayo - Regaining his confidence Mayo accumulated 24 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 OT victory over UCF.

Impact Mayo officially appears to be back, topping 20 points for the second-consecutive game after having failed to reach double figures in four of his previous five affairs. Mayo has connected on 10-of-14 from deep as his confidence appears to be back in full. Kansas has stumbled down the stretch and barely escaped Wednesday, but still has the talent of a team that was ranked number one in the preseason polls. A confident Mayo will play a key role as the Jayhawks make a last ditch effort to finally fulfill the preseason hype.

AJ Storr - Provides much-needed spark Storr fouled out of Wednesday's 98-94 OT win over UCF after recording 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes.

Impact Storr came off the bench to record his highest scoring output of the season. The junior wing connected on three from deep while providing a welcome if unexpected performance for a Kansas team that stumbled down the stretch and was on the brink of an early exit from the Big 12 tournament. The Jayhawks certainly have the talent to catch fire at any moment and Storr is certainly capable of playing a key role in a potential Kansas resurgence after having averaged 16.8 points last season at Wisconsin.

KJ Adams - Stepping up his game Adams posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 OT win over UCF.

Impact Adams continued his strong play, providing a strong defensive presence with three steals and three rejections to go along with his second performance which he's recorded at least 10 points, five boards and five assists. The senior forward saw his points-per-game dip below 10 this season after averaging double-figures during each of the previous two seasons. However, Adams has picked things up over the last five games, tallying 15.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals. His resurgence bodes well for a Kansas squad looking to win its 13th Big 12 conference tournament.

Shakeel Moore - Will try to play Thursday Moore (foot) will "try and give it a go" against Arizona on Thursday, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact Moore didn't play against Central Florida, but he'll probably be a game-time call for Thursday's matchup. He hasn't played since Feb. 18, but the senior guard returned to practice earlier this month, so he might have an outside shot at playing. He's averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 14.4 minutes per game in 19 outings (nine starts) this season.

Hunter Dickinson - Massive 30-point double-double Dickinson contributed 33 points (15-23 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 win over Arizona.

Impact Dickinson recorded his second 30-point double-double in four games as he and the Jayhawks put together one of their most complete performances since the start of conference play. It was the fifth double-double in six games for Dickinson, who appears to have awakened from his mid-season slumber just in time for the start of the postseason. He'll enter next week's conference tournament on a roll, having averaged 21.3 points and 11.5 rebounds while playing nearly 30 minutes per game across his last six contests.

Zeke Mayo - Much-needed rebound performance Mayo closed with 20 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 win over Arizona.

Impact Mayo poured in 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, recording 20 points for the first time since late January as the Jayhawks closed the regular season by putting together one of their best efforts of the conference season. The hometown Mayo added six assists against zero turnovers during the clean offensive effort. The senior guard has had a strong season overall for Kansas but had been struggling mightily over the past three games, scoring just 16 points total while turning the ball over 14 times during that stretch prior to Saturday's rebound performance. Mayo and the Jayhawks will hope that this showing will serve as a springboard into next week's Big 12 conference tournament.

Dajuan Harris - Low shooting volume Harris finished Monday's 65-59 loss to Houston with two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Impact It's well known that Harris is a pass-first point guard, but he matched his season-low scoring total Monday and has recorded just a combined 12 points over his last three games. The end result here was a loss, albeit a narrow one, against a Houston squad that has one of the most efficient defenses in the country.
