Tre White led Kansas with 19 points as the Jayhawks handed second-ranked Iowa State its first loss of the season, defeating the Cyclones 84-63 at Allen Fieldhouse. The aggressive performance ended Iowa State's unbeaten start and snapped a rough stretch for Kansas.

The Jayhawks entered as rare home underdogs despite their storied program. Iowa State had looked dominant all season, including a road win over then-No. 1 Purdue. But turnovers and cold shooting doomed the Cyclones, who committed 12 giveaways and struggled from beyond the arc.

Kansas capitalized early, building a 21-point halftime lead thanks to sharp perimeter shooting and stifling defense. A brief second-half push by Iowa State cut the deficit to 11, but Kansas responded with a decisive 10-0 run. The win marks Kansas’s eighth straight over Iowa State in Lawrence.

Bill Self’s team showed renewed toughness after falling out of the AP Top 25. The Jayhawks now sit at 12-5, while Iowa State drops to 16-1, facing questions about consistency as conference play intensifies.
