POSTGAME: No.1 Arizona Suffers FIRST LOSS vs Kansas WITHOUT Darryn Peterson

Undefeated no more. The #1 Arizona Wildcats drop to 23-1 after taking their first loss of the year to top 10 Kansas on the road… without Darryn Peterson. It didn’t end up costing the Jayhawks though as the Phog Allen Fieldhouse lived up to its reputation. First half heroics from Motiejus Krivas faded into second half disappointment after Flory Bidunga took over with a flurry of dunks.

Star freshman Brayden Burries put in a performance that’s become typical of the Big 12 Player of the Year candidate, dropping 25 points along with 5 rebounds. However it was a brutal night at the office for fellow freshman Koa Peat who only put up 6 points. What is going on with the potential lottery pick? After taking the first L of the year should the Cats still be ranked #1 in the next AP Poll? Can Tommy’s Lloyd’s team avoid back-to-back losses when #16 Texas Tech comes to the McKale Center for College Gameday?
