Tyran Stokes delivered a dominant performance as the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 89‑69 in the Champions Classic nightcap at the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday night.
The five‑star recruit, who grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, said the victory was “personal” for him after the Jayhawks’ win over his home state’s team.
Stokes’ standout play helped Kansas secure a decisive win in the pre‑season tournament, giving the Jayhawks a strong start to their season.
Stokes, a highly‑touted freshman from Louisville, has been a key figure in Kansas’ roster since arriving from the state’s basketball hotbed.
“It was personal for me,” Stokes said after the game.
