Arizona's Undefeated Journey Faces Kansas in Major Showdown
Top-ranked Arizona is set to face Kansas in a highly anticipated college basketball matchup.
There are Big Mondays, and then there are the biggest Mondays. This is the biggest one. For college basketball fans, the most attractive matchup at 9 p.m. ET features the undefeated Arizona, ranked No. 1, visiting a Kansas team that’s currently on a seven-game winning streak. Kansas is led by coach Bill Self, a Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer, and by Darryn Peterson, projected as the first pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Interesting Facts:
- This will mark Bill Self’s 39th Big Monday game at Allen Fieldhouse, where he boasts a perfect record of 38-0.
- For the first time in the Self era, a team ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 will play as a visitor at Allen Fieldhouse.
- Should Kansas win, it would represent their first victory over a top-ranked team on their court.
