No 9. Kansas defeated unranked Kentucky 77-68 on Saturday night at Rupp Arena in Lexington to snap a three-game losing streak.
Following disappointing losses to No. 5 Kansas State, No. 11 TCU and No. 17 Baylor, the Jayhawks desperately needed a win against Kentucky on Saturday, and their best player showed up when it mattered most.
Junior forward Jalen Wilson continued his phenomenal season with 22 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in the win. He made 9 of 18 shots from the floor and 2 of 3 shots from deep.
Saturday's win marks the fourth straight game that Wilson has scored 20-plus points, and he's quickly rising up the charts as a player of the year candidate:
