Overview
- Tre White scored 19 points with four early threes, Darryn Peterson added 16, and Melvin Council Jr. and Flory Bidunga chipped in 15 and 10 for Kansas.
- The Jayhawks raced to a 44-23 halftime lead by forcing 10 first-half turnovers and finished with only nine giveaways to Iowa State’s 12.
- Kansas hit 12 threes and shot 50% from deep, holding the Cyclones to 36.9% overall and limiting points off turnovers to four.
- Iowa State’s 16-0 start and school-record 16-game winning streak ended, and Kansas notched its eighth straight home win over the Cyclones.
- Bill Self, who days earlier said his team “suck[s] right now,” said he was in a better mood after the win, while T.J. Otzelberger called it “an absolute beat-down.”
