Kansas Basketball Suffers Historic 34-Point Loss to BYU

The No. 23 Kansas Jayhawks suffered a devastating 91-57 loss to BYU, marking the largest margin of defeat in coach Bill Self's tenure and the first time they lost by over 30 points to an unranked team since the AP Top 25 poll began in 1948. Kansas struggled offensively, shooting only 36% from the field and failing to contain BYU's potent offense, which made 14 three-pointers and shot 52% overall. Coach Self acknowledged the team's lack of defense and execution, expressing embarrassment over the performance. This loss continues a troubling trend for Kansas, which has seen them drop four of their last six games and could jeopardize their NCAA Tournament seeding. Despite this setback, Kansas remains at 17-9 overall and will look to recover in their upcoming game against Oklahoma State. BYU's strong performance not only highlights their resurgence in the Big 12 but also establishes them as a formidable opponent after a slow start in conference play.
