Washington upsets No. 2 Kansas behind Thybulle’s hot shooting

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matisse Thybulle hit five 3-pointers and scored 19 points, Jaylen Nowell added 15 and Washington led most of the way in upsetting second-ranked Kansas 74-65 on Wednesday.

Noah Dickerson added 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Huskies (7-2), who knocked the Jayhawks (7-1) from the ranks of the unbeaten with their first victory over them since December 1974.

Lagerald Vick had a career-high 28 points for Kansas, doing almost all his damage in the middle of the Huskies’ 2-3 zone. But he didn’t get a whole lot of help as the Jayhawks went 5 for 20 from the 3-point arc, lowlighted by lousy performances from sharpshooters Devonte Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Graham, coming off back-to-back 35-point outbursts, was held to three points on 1-for-8 shooting.

At Gainesville, Fla., Aundre Jackson scored 23 points, Cameron Krutwig added 14 and Loyola-chicago (9-1) stunned No. 5 Florida (5-3), handing the Gators a third consecutive loss.
