This year, it was Egor Demin, in nearly the same situation, who rose up over the All-American to polish off a win for the BYU Cougars. Both shots finished the Jayhawks. The only difference: Hall’s came in the final minutes of a tight game.

After the loss to Utah and Tuesday’s blowout at BYU, the Jayhawks are in serious danger of falling below a top-4 seed for the first time in the Self era. It’s also more than likely the Jayhawks, who dropped to No. 23 in the AP Top 25, will go unranked for the first time since 2021.
