No. 1 Kansas took its first loss of the season on Wednesday night as unranked Creighton secured a 76-63 home win over the Jayhawks and shook off its recent funk with force. The Bluejays never trailed in the battle of the birds and turned it into a blowout late behind Pop Isaacs’ 27-point night.
Kansas shot just 35.7% on the night, got blasted on the boards and struggled to keep up with Creighton’s offensive explosion. All-American big man Hunter Dickinson finished with just six points for the Jayhawks and the team made just 35.7.% of its field goal attempts in the loss.
KU opened the season ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 and has maintained its standing atop the rankings each of the first five weeks powered by wins over North Carolina, Michigan State and Duke.
