We're shutting him down for the tournament. "He hasn't practiced in six weeks, basically. He hasn't done more damage to his knee. But he tried to do it and said that he just couldn't go."before spending his last two seasons at Kansas, McCullar was one of the biggest breakout stars in the country. He averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists en route to earning first-team All-Big 12 honors.
