Kansas Jayhawks crush Kansas State Wildcats on the road, powered by breakout performances from Elmarko Jackson, Flory Bidunga, Melvin Council, and Bryson Tiller. Can Bill Self’s crew sustain this dominant form as the Big 12 schedule heats up?

Derek Johnson recaps the Jayhawks’ 86–62 statement win in Manhattan, spotlighting Bidunga’s interior dominance and Council’s near triple-double (17 points, 12 assists, 7 boards). Analysis focuses on KU’s two-point scoring advantage, strategic rebounding adjustments, and the emergence of Jackson as a true X-factor off the bench. Discussion includes key stats, KU’s improved road resilience, and how the team handled Darryn Peterson's absence. With a brutal five-game stretch looming—including BYU, Texas Tech, and Arizona—can Kansas keep their momentum going and rise to the top of the Big 12 standings?
