Kansas men’s basketball suffered a sharp decline in the latest AP Poll, falling from the No. 1 spot to No. 10 after a challenging week marked by consecutive losses to Creighton and Missouri.

The Jayhawks now hold a 7-2 record, with their early-season dominance now in question.

Later in the week, Kansas faced a fiery challenge from in-state rival Missouri, who secured a win in a physical and emotionally charged matchup at home.
