Omaha, Neb. — Malik Newman isn’t too concerned with how the oddsmakers view Sunday’s game against Duke.
“At the end of the day, we just have to go out and play,” Newman said. “The guys that put on the Kansas uniform and the guys that ride the bus over with us, as long as all of us believe, we feel like we can do it and we have a great chance of winning.”
As for his own play, Newman had a little bit more to say.
The sophomore shared the story of the first time KU coach Bill Self called him, “soft,” and noted it’s been “a while” since he felt as good as he does right now.
“Right now, as of lately, I’ve been at an all-time high,” Newman said. “I don’t plan on looking back.”
