Kansas Stuns Houston: Self's Big Monday Streak Continues
24 Feb
Summary
- Kansas secured a significant upset victory over Houston.
- Bill Self extended his perfect Big Monday home record to 41-0.
- Tre White led Kansas with 23 points in the win.

Kansas delivered a decisive 69-56 victory over No. 5 Houston at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday. The No. 14 Jayhawks controlled the second half, outscoring the Cougars 38-29 to secure a key conference win. This result maintains Bill Self's flawless 41-0 record coaching Kansas on Big Monday at home, a streak dating back to 2003.
Forward Tre White spearheaded the Jayhawks' offense with an impressive 23 points on efficient shooting. Darryn Peterson contributed 14 points and four rebounds, while Bryson Tiller added 11 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks. Kansas's defense was formidable, limiting Houston to just 32% shooting from the field and forcing difficult shots.
The Jayhawks' victory comes amidst ongoing considerations for Darryn Peterson's availability due to past injuries and cramps. Coach Self highlighted health as a key concern heading into the critical NCAA Tournament period. Kansas faces another significant challenge next, with a matchup against No. 2 Arizona scheduled for Saturday.
