No. 7 Kansas Roasted by CBB Fans for Cold Shooting in Upset Loss to Unranked BYU

Timothy RappFeb 27, 2024

That certainly wasn't what the Kansas Jayhawks were expecting on Tuesday night.

The No. 7 team in the nation was upset at home by unranked BYU 76-68, and a poor shooting effort was one of the primary culprits.

The Jayhawks shot just 39 percent from the field (23-of-59) and only 20 percent from three (3-of-15), all while the Cougars sank 13 of their 34 attempts from deep. Seeing those numbers, a quote from Kansas head coach Bill Self on Monday suddenly took on an almost spooky quality.

"The other day (against Texas) we made three [three-point shots] and played really well," he told reporters. "If they make 13 threes, they've already outscored you [by] 30 points from the field."

Well, he called it. Unintentionally, but he still called it.

As for his Jayhawks, college basketball fans and analysts didn't take it easy on them after the loss, though the absence of Kevin McCullar was fairly noted:

BYU's Dallin Hall led all players with 18 points, while Hunter Dickinson put up a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double for the Jayhawks.

Kansas (21-7) has lost four games this season to teams that were unranked at the time and is third in the Big 12 standings, trailing Houston by three games. Since Self took over ahead of the 2003-04 season, Kansas has won an incredible 17 Big 12 regular-season titles, but it won't be happening this season.

BYU (20-8), meanwhile, eradicated any lingering doubt about whether it would earn an NCAA tournament bid. Beating Baylor and Kansas is a solid pairing of signature wins. Not too shabby for the conference newcomers.
