BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Kansas left far too much space for Mackenzie Mgbako.

Indiana's five-star freshman wing dribbled the ball up the court and noticed the Jayhawk defense sagging off. Mgbako casually pulled up for a 3-pointer and drilled it. 

The shot gave Indiana its biggest lead of the game at that point, 32-21 with about five minutes left to play. Assembly Hall may have reached its peak, too.
