Ahead of Tuesday night’s game against BYU, Kansas coach Bill Self seemed remarkably insightful during his media briefing on Monday.

Self's foresight was evident when he remarked, “The other day (against Texas) we made three 3s and played really well. If they make 13 3s they’ve already outscored you (by) 30 points from the field.”

His prediction proved accurate.

BYU indeed made 13 of their 34 attempts from beyond the arc, while Kansas struggled, only hitting 3 of their 15 attempts. In a game marked by frequent stoppages due to fouls, BYU committed 25 fouls, and Kansas managed only 17 out of 29 from the free-throw line. This offensive deficiency proved costly as Kansas squandered a double-digit lead, suffering their first home loss of the season with a final score of 76-68.

Reflecting on the game, Self admitted, “BYU was better than us tonight. The second half, after we got up 12, the second half, they controlled it. We hoped to score and they actually ran offense to score. Give them credit, they caused us to look bad and they were successful.”

BYU's Dallin Hall and Jaxson Robinson contributed 18 points each, with a combined seven 3-pointers. Despite Hall playing with four fouls, he remained a significant threat. On the Kansas side, Hunter Dickinson led with 17 points and 11 rebounds but struggled, shooting a mere 6-for-15 from the free-throw line. Dajuan Harris Jr. added 12 points but faced the challenge of salvaging offensive possessions for Kansas as they faltered in the second half.

When asked about the postgame locker room message, freshman guard Johnny Furphy mentioned, “Pretty much that they did exactly what we thought they were going to do.”
