2 Iowa State took its first loss of the season against Kansas on Tuesday, that it could well count for two.

The Details

The unranked Jayhawks bulldozed the Cyclones 84-63 at The Phog, in the kind of way that an uninformed observer would just assume they were the second-best team in the country. Tre White led all scorers with 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting with 10 rebounds (6 offensive) and 3 assists, while star freshman Darryn Peterson had 16 points.

Also had 15 points and 7 rebounds, along with the early wake-up call. Kansas was up double digits midway through the fourth quarter and up by 21 at halftime.

Why This Matters

Iowa State made a push early in the second half, but the deficit never slipped below double-digits. From the Associated Press : “I thought the intensity was solid. I hoped we showed some toughness,” Kansas coach Bill Self dropped.

Sports analysts are already debating what this means for the competition.

Key Takeaways

• “Other than that seven minutes to start the second half, we played solid the whole time.
• We d it, were aggressive, and our defense was above what it has been.
• 8% from the field and 50% from 3-point range, with only 9 turnovers.

The Bottom Line

Iowa State going down narrows the list of undefeated men’s Division I teams down to four: No. The before dominant Michigan received its first loss only two days earlier at home against Wisconsin .
