No. 6 Kansas defeated Missouri 95-67, dropping Mizzou to 9-1 on the season and leaving seven undefeated teams in Division 1.
Kansas junior forward Jalen Wilson led the way for Kansas with a game-high 24 points and 10 rebounds.
Missouri is the third team to lose its undefeated status on Saturday, joining No. 1 Houston and No. 11 Auburn.
Houston fell to No. 8 Alabama at home 71-55 on Sunday, while Auburn lost to Memphis, 82-73, in Atlanta in a game in which Memphis star Kendric Davis went for 27 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
“I’ve put the loss on me,” Auburn coach Bruce Pearl told reporters. “I was outcoached. We were under-prepared.”
He added: “Their speed and quickness bothered us, so we needed to be bigger, stronger and more physical. And we weren’t.”
