Lagerald Vick was in "witness protection" as frosh. But, instead of transferring, he lived in gym. Rest is history. https://t.co/mu7MdX6f7g

Lagerald Vick got his career-high out of the way early. All that was left was his shot at program history.

Vick, the Kansas basketball guard, scored 23 points — including matching a personal-best with 15 in the first half alone — to lead the No. 4 Jayhawks past Long Beach State, 91-61, on Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

Vick had a nearly flawless first half in his second start for KU, going 6 for 6 from the field while draining all three of his 3-point attempts. His layup on the Jayhawks’ first possession of the second half broke his previous scoring high, set last Friday in KU’s victory over UNC Asheville. The 6-foot-5 sophomore’s bucket with 14:18 left in the game put the Jayhawks up by 27 and left him one make away from Jayhawk history — the KU program record for make in a single game without a miss is 10, held by Danny Manning (1986) and Norm Cook (1973).

However, Vick would not get another shot off — at least, another shot that counted. His breakaway dunk with 4:33 left to play was wiped away thanks to a foul on the other end of the court by teammate Carlton Bragg, who Vick replaced in the starting lineup before the UNC Asheville contest.

“I think Carlton must be mad at him or something,” KU coach Bill Self joked on Bragg’s foul, “because that was probably the worst foul we’ve committed since I’ve been here, or Lagerald would’ve gotten the record.”
