For the first time in Bill Self's 23-year tenure as head coach, a top-ranked opponent visited Lawrence. Something had to give, as Self, with an unbeaten record at Allen Fieldhouse in Big Monday games, ran into an Arizona team that had yet to lose all season. "We couldn’t lose this game," guard Melvin Council Jr. said. "This game means so much to us.” KU played like it, and the result was an all-time ...
