Kansas’ win over No. 1 Arizona on Monday night, its first ever against a top-ranked team in Allen Fieldhouse in a showdown Bill Self called “as big a game that college basketball has had” this year, was so momentous an occasion as to inspire some admittedly uncharacteristic behavior from the head coach.

Kansas’ victory over No. 1 Arizona on Monday night will surely be remembered for years and decades to come.
