PROVO, Utah (AP) — Despite Hunter Dickinson's 12-point, 14-rebound double-double, No. 23 Kansas fell to BYU 91-57 on Tuesday night at the Marriott Center.
Richie Saunders scored 22, Trevin Knell added 15 points and Mawot Mag had 13 to help the Cougars (18-8, 9-6 Big 12) get their third straight win. Saunders, Knell, and Mag combined to make 11 3-pointers.
Dickinson led the Jayhawks with 12 points and David Coit had 11 off the bench. Kansas (17-9, 8-7) trailed by as many as 38 points in the second half.
Efficient shooting and relentless defensive pressure powered the Cougars. Mag and Keba Keita each scored a pair of baskets to fuel a 14-2 run that gave BYU a 22-7 lead just seven minutes into the game.
"I thought BYU could beat anybody tonight," said Kansas head coach Bill Self. "They were great. And then we didn't do anything to make them less than great. A lot of times with teams there needs to be something (to) happen to pull everybody together that is us against the outside. And we're going to have an opportunity to do that for sure. We haven't been through it much at all in a long time."
Kansas had a chance to close the gap after BYU went six minutes without scoring a basket. The Jayhawks cut the deficit in half, pulling to 25-17 on a 3-pointer from Rylan Griffen.
The Cougars regained a double-digit lead behind a flurry of 3-pointers. BYU made five 3s over the final 6:15 before halftime, highlighted by back-to-back outside baskets from Saunders and Knell, to extend its lead to 46-26 at the break.
Takeaways Kansas: The Jayhawks suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season after committing 15 turnovers and allowing 52% shooting. Kansas' 34-point defeat tied the biggest defeat under Self.
BYU: The Cougars had 15 assists on all 15 of their first half field goals and made 14 3-pointers against the Jayhawks.
Key Moment Kansas held BYU without a basket for six minutes late in the first half before Mag and Saunders made 3-pointers a minute apart to boost the Cougars' lead back to double digits.
Key Stat Kansas has not led through its last 80 minutes of basketball.
Up Next Kansas hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday, and BYU is at Arizona.
