Thirteen was the magic number for Kansas, and in a good way. The Jayhawks racked up 13 steals, with Hunter Dickinson and Dajuan Harris swiping three apiece. Shakeel Moore and KJ Adams added two each, while others chipped in as well. It was relentless, and the Sun Devils just couldn’t handle the pressure.

Kansas men's basketball has earned two straight Big 12 wins, most recently defeating Arizona State 74-55. KU head coach Bill Self praised his Jayhawks for a defensive performance in which they held Arizona State to 13 points in the second half.
