Kansas faced its first major test of the season on Friday, and left North Carolina with an 87-74 loss. Freshman phenom Darryn Peterson led the way with 22 points, but it wasn't enough to keep up with a North Carolina team that had four double-digit scorers.

The loss dropped the Jayhawks from No. 19 to No. 25 in Monday's AP Top 25 poll, and now they'll look to get back on track with a home game Tuesday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. History points to a win for Kansas, which has won 21 straight nonconference games in Allen Fieldhouse dating back to 2022 and is 160-6 in home nonconference games under coach Bill Self.

Tuesday's game, along with Saturday's home game against Princeton, are two tune-up opportunities for the Jayhawks before a marquee matchup against No. 4 Duke at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 18.
