How Arizona Met Its Physical Match Against Kansas
No. 1 Arizona lost its first game of the season against No. 9 Kansas on Monday night, and it was one of the few times a team has been able to compete with the Wildcats’ style and physicality.
Yet, it should have come as no surprise, as Kansas is one of the elite programs that preaches and incorporates many of the same traits and principles in its game. The most obvious being physicality, which was on full display for the Jayhawks in the upset, leaving Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd disappointed with the way his team attacked the basket.
“We didn’t finish at the rim well enough,” Lloyd acknowledged postgame. “Usually, we’re really proficient at getting to the rim or getting fouled. It’s not very often we get out-free throwed, and it’s not very often we don’t make a higher percentage of at-the-rim shots. Kansas gets credit for that.”
Kansas Out-Physicals Arizona
Arizona actually won the overall battles for rebounds and points in the paint, but both were by a narrow margin, and a few key Wildcats didn’t play up to the potential they’d shown this season. That included senior forward Tobe Awaka, who averages 9.6 rebounds per game as Arizona’s leading rebounder. Kansas held him to just three rebounds and limited his time on the floor.
In fact, if not for junior Motiejus Krivas’s 14 points and 15 rebounds, Arizona would have lost the rebounding battle by double-digits. By contrast, Kansas’ Flory Bidunga and Bryson Tiller each outrebounded the rest of the individual players that entered the game for Arizona.
The Wildcats also ended up on the wrong end of the fouling situation, committing more fouls and attempting 11 fewer free throws than the Jayhawks. That tells you both teams were being physical, but Arizona may have misused its physicality when trying to channel it into an advantage.
“There’s going to be a lot that gets to go in the paint, ” Lloyd continued. “The refs aren’t going to guess, probably on both ends of the floor. So if you want to win these games, you’ve got to deliver. You’ve got to deliver when you get the ball inside, you’ve got to be able to play through physical contact, you’ve got to be able to play through what you think are fouls, and you’ve just got to keep moving.”
Keeping it moving is exactly how you get through the Big 12. It doesn’t have the reputation of some other conferences, but it’s still a physical battle night in and night out. Arizona and Kansas are two of the top teams in the league in that department, and this matchup was just the beginning of a long road.
“We’re built for it,” Lloyd said. “I honestly don’t care how the game’s officiated. We should be fine. We’re a physical team, and we’re built for it. I’m sure there were some missed calls, but they were probably on both ends, so we’ve got to move forward, and our first mantra is ‘get tougher.’”
Arizona may have to get tougher in a hurry. Its next few games are against similar opponents, and as Lloyd and many other coaches have stated this season, it doesn’t matter if you lose, but it matters how you respond to each loss.
“I’m not mad we lost,” he said. “I can’t wait to get back home and get on that plane. I feel like our season just started.”
In a way, he’s right. The real work is just getting started.

Chiefs Name Burns & McDonnell as Owner’s Representative for New Practice Facility and Headquarters in Olathe
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs made their first major announcement for the club’s future day-to-day home, naming Kansas City-based Burns & McDonnell as owner’s representative for the team’s practice facility and headquarters project in Olathe, Kansas.
“We are extremely excited to have Burns & McDonnell join our project team as owner’s representative for our new practice facility and headquarters that we will be building in Olathe,” Chiefs Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Matt Kenny said. “As a local, employee-owned firm with a track record of project success around the world, we know they have the right mix of local knowledge as well as global experience to help us navigate the upcoming design and construction phases of a truly unique year-round home for our football team and staff.”
Burns & McDonnell will team with CAA ICON to serve as the franchise’s trusted advisor throughout the development of the new team facilities that support both business and football operations. Working alongside Chiefs project leaders, they will provide independent oversight and experienced leadership to guide the process from early planning through construction and occupancy. They will coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, and other key stakeholders to support project execution, maintain alignment with budget and schedule objectives, manage risk, and help ensure the facility is delivered to the high standards expected by the Chiefs organization.
“We are honored to partner with the Kansas City Chiefs on this transformational project,” said Jon Wright, senior vice president and general manager of the Buildings Market at Burns & McDonnell. “The Chiefs have had an extraordinary impact on our region for generations, and this investment represents an exciting new chapter for the organization and the Kansas City community. As a Kansas City-based company, it is a privilege to help bring that vision to life by providing experienced project leadership from planning through construction. We look forward to working alongside the Chiefs and the entire project team to deliver a world-class facility for the organization, its staff and Chiefs Kingdom.”
Set to open ahead of the 2031 football season, the Chiefs new $300 million practice facility and headquarters – as well as an associated mixed-use development – will be located on approximately 155 acres near the intersection of College Boulevard and Ridgeview Road in Olathe.
Additional announcements related to the design and construction of the club’s new practice facility and headquarters in Olathe are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – As health officials gain insight into the nationwide outbreak of the intestinal illness, cyclosporiasis, data from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment show a sharp increase in cases within the Sunflower State.
As of Wednesday, KDHE is reporting 55 cases of the “explosive diarrhea” outbreak for the year, including 25 this month. A breakdown of the Kansas cases shows a balance of cases among males and females. The state data doesn’t break down county-by-county numbers, but on Tuesday, Sedgwick County confirmed five cases for the year, a total that is likely to jump with the additional statewide confirmations.
Also on Tuesday, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said it identified lettuce and other salad greens as a potential source of the outbreak.
Adding to the concern about produce, Taco Bell issued a statement saying it had “voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure.
“We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health authorities,” the restaurant chain said.
Sedgwick County offered guidance on ways to protect yourself from cyclosporiasis and bacterial illnesses connected with produce:
- Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or preparing them.
- Scrub firm fruits and vegetables, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.
- Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fruits and vegetables before preparing and eating.
- Avoid bagged lettuce or salad mixes. When eating a whole head of lettuce, remove the first two or three layers of leaves and thoroughly wash the inner leaves under running water. Separate the leaves as you wash them.
- Heating food to 158 degrees or higher kills the parasite.
- Practice good hand hygiene by washing hands with soap and water before preparing or eating food and after using the bathroom or changing diapers.
- Travelers to cyclosporiasis-endemic areas should follow food and water precautions, including avoiding foods and beverages that may be contaminated.
- Be aware that Cyclospora is unlikely to be killed by routine chemical disinfection or sanitizing methods.
- If you develop symptoms of cyclosporiasis, especially persistent watery diarrhea, contact a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment recommendations.
