Neither team played its best game of the season, but the matchup between No. 1 Arizona and No. 9 Kansas is one that everyone will be talking about come March. In a game where Kansas found out their leading scorer would be absent from the court yet again this season, the Jayhawks banded together and found a way to get a win in the most electric environment in college basketball.
In the 82-78 upset win over No. 1 Arizona, No. 9 Kansas saw elite play from players like Melvin Council Jr. and Flory Bidunga again, but also from guys that had to step up and give minutes they are used to giving, like Jamari McDowell and Bryson Tiller.
