HUSKIES UPSET NO. 2 JAYHAWKS

MO.» Matisse Thybulle KANSAS CITY, 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 night.

Lagerald Vick had a careerhigh 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-toback 35-point outbursts, was held to three points on 1-for-8 shooting, while Mykhailiuk was 3-for12 from the field and scored eight points before fouling out.
