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.

As noted in a recent podcast, someone has to lose this game, but betting against either of these teams feels unwise. Arizona has an impressive 23-0 record, featuring victories over teams like UConn, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, BYU, and UCLA.

Current Rankings:

  • Arizona remains at the top of CBS Sports’ Top 25 And 1 rankings for the 30th consecutive day, while Kansas is positioned at No. 10. Arizona is currently favored by 2.5 points in this crucial matchup.
