No. 2 Kansas run off own floor by TCU
Shahada Wells scored 17 points as No. 14 Texas Christian beat No. 2 Kansas 83-60 on Saturday in one of the worst losses in Bill Self ’s 20year coaching career with the Jayhawks.
The loss halted Kansas’ 16game winning streak at home and was its second-largest loss at home under Self. The Jayhawks (15-3, 5-2 Big 12), who lost 83-82 in overtime at Kansas State on Tuesday, had not lost consecutive games in the state since 1989.
“Everything they did was perfect today,” Self said of TCU (15-4, 4-3 Big 12). “They played great. They’re so fast and so athletic off the bench. We actually got a ton of good looks in the first half. We missed a lot of layups. We have to be able to defend somebody, and we never defended them today.”
Kansas trailed by 10 at halftime and never closed the gap within single digits. The Jayhawks shot only 32.1% in the second half.
