No. 5 Kansas stunned by TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas — Kansas coach Bill Self’s Big 12 bullies are suddenly beatable.

Even against the league newcomers who hadn’t won a conference game.

The fifth-ranked Jayhawks have their first losing streak in more than seven years after trailing throughout in a 62-55 loss Wednesday night at TCU, which had never before beaten a top 5 team.

“It’s not so much that we lost, it’s just so much to me that we were kind of the bullies of the league, and we let people think they could whip us,” Self said. “And when they did, everybody now thinks they can whip us. If we’re going to get everybody’s best shot two weeks ago, think what it’s going to be like when now everybody thinks they’re going to win.”

Four days after an 85-80 home loss to Oklahoma State ended their nation-best 18-game overall winning streak and their 33-game streak at Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks went more than 7 minutes from the tip before scoring.

Kansas (19-3, 7-2) had played 264 games in a row since 2006 without consecutive losses, the longest active streak in Division I. Against TCU (10-12, 1-8), the Jayhawks looked nothing like the team that has won or shared 12 of the league’s 16 titles .
