Kansas basketball needed a statement win, and it delivered.
The No. 16 Jayhawks dominated No. 8 Iowa State, 69-52, at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night, snapping their recent skid and proving once again that they don’t stay down for long. Kansas is now 5-1 in games following a loss this season, a testament to Bill Self’s ability to rally his team when it matters most.
This win also extended Kansas’ home winning streak against the Cyclones to seven games. Iowa State hasn’t won in Lawrence since 2017, and Monday’s matchup made it clear that Allen Fieldhouse is still one of the toughest places to play in college basketball.
Zeke Mayo lit it up from deep, scoring 17 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc and grabbing eight rebounds.
Hunter Dickinson was a force inside, adding 14 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
Dajuan Harris Jr. chipped in 12 points and four assists while going a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. KJ Adams played a key role as well, finishing with six points and five assists.
