A handful of people predicted that the No. 12 Kentucky Wildcats would upset the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse Saturday, but no one could’ve predicted the 18-point blowout road win John Calipari’s Cats earned.
The Wildcats handed Bill Self, who has been the head coach at Kansas since 2003, just his 16th home loss Saturday as they rolled to an 80-62 win as part of the Big 12/SEC challenge.
Keion Brooks scored a career-high 27 points in the Wildcat win, while Oscar Tshiebwe continued to build his national player of the year resume by recording yet another double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
