No. 1 Gonzaga hung 102 points on No. 6 Kansas in a Thanksgiving afternoon clash in Fort Myers, opening its season with an unprecedented offensive performance against a Bill Self-coached Jayhawks team.
The Bulldogs' 102–90 win represented the most points scored by an opponent in a non-overtime game in the Self era in Lawrence (H/T the Kansas City Star's Jesse Newell), and was the first time anyone hit the century mark against Kansas in four years.
Gonzaga entered 2020–21 firmly entrenched in the debate over who should be the preseason national title favorite, though no one would have blamed Mark Few's team if it didn't look like a well-oiled offensive juggernaut right out of the gate.
