Council's Career Night Lifts Kansas Over NC State

Melvin Council Jr. erupted for a career-high 36 points, including an astounding nine successful three-pointers, to propel No. 19 Kansas to a narrow 77-76 overtime win against N.C. State. Council's offensive outburst was pivotal, as he scored Kansas' final 13 points in regulation and assisted the game-winning dunk in the extra period. The Wolfpack had a final opportunity to snatch victory, but Darrion Williams' last-second three-point attempt fell short.

Kansas's victory was further complicated by the abrupt departure of freshman star Darryn Peterson, who left the game with just over two minutes remaining in regulation and did not return. This exit came shortly after Peterson had recovered from a hamstring strain, raising concerns for the Jayhawks. Peterson still managed to contribute 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists before leaving.
