Agbaji stepped onto campus and immediately contributed to head coach Bill Self’s team as a freshman. He then improved with each passing season and was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year as a senior. Agbaji shot the lights out (47.5% FG, 40.7% 3-Point) and his leadership on and off the court played a key role in the Jayhawks’ run to a National title.
Injury
The Kansas Jayhawks head to Ames, Iowa for a massive Big 12 clash with the Iowa State Cyclones Tuesday, and they’ll be without their best player. Ochai Agbaji did not make the trip with the team due to COVID-19 protocols and is out for the contest. This is a big loss for the Jayhawks, who will now look to lean on Christian Braun and Remy Martin in the backcourt.
Agbaji is averaging 20.9 points per game and will be hard to replace. The Jayhawks do have enough talent across the board to handle Iowa State in one game, but they’ll need Agbaji to clear protocols as soon as possible to keep pace with Baylor in the Big 12 standings.
