Can the Defense Rise to the Occasion and Change the Fate of the Big 12 Showdown?

Arizona is still ranked as the best team in the country despite losing their last game. Again, this was a game Kansas got me on. In fairness to them, they lost on the road to a Bill Self coached team, by just four points. They also looked like the better team in most of the game. The problem is, Kansas didn’t have their best player, Darryn Peterson. Without him, Arizona still lost. They did hit some big shots late, and Brayden Burries was once again remarkable. However, it just wasn’t enough as they dropped the game. I found it interesting that the announcers were mentioning that the head coach of Arizona, Tommy Lloyd, apparently said he knew the team wouldn’t be undefeated, or knew they would lose. I’m almost positive that he didn’t mean that game specifically. Losing can help a team regain focus though. I don’t think that Arizona had lost their focus before the loss, but it does reset you a little bit, and maybe make it easier to play as you’re no longer looking to be perfect.
