Flory Bidunga, No. 19 Kansas pull away from Kansas State late

On Jan. 24, 2026, No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks defeated Kansas State Wildcats 86-62 at Bramlage Coliseum without freshman guard Darryn Peterson.
Darryn Peterson was ruled out after an ankle sprain, sidelined following Tuesday's win over Colorado, while both teams entered the game short-handed with injury reports impacting Kansas State Wildcats.
Led by Flory Bidunga's 21 points and 10 rebounds, Elmarko Jackson scored a career-high 19 off the bench while Kansas closed with a 27-7 run and outrebounded Kansas State 39-28.
Kansas extended its winning streak to four and stands at 15-5, 5-2 Big 12 as Bill Self, Kansas coach, returned to the sideline; the Jayhawks will host BYU on Jan. 31.
Despite missing a key starter, Kansas showed depth with a strong offensive performance, producing one of its better outings without Darryn Peterson as Kansas State visits West Virginia on Jan. 27.
