~ The Jayhawks knocked off the No. 1 team in overtime on Saturday night.

LAS VEGAS -- Kansas sure grew up in a hurry.

Just 10 days after losing to Oral Roberts -- and 24 hours after struggling to beat Ball State -- the youthful Jayhawks had the poise and precision to knock off the defending national champions.

Darrell Arthur scored six of his 19 points in overtime, Julian Wright had a career-high 21 and the 10th-ranked Jayhawks played sterling defense when it mattered to beat No. 1 Florida 82-80 in the Las Vegas Invitational late Saturday night.

The Jayhawks ended Florida's school-record 17-game winning streak when Corey Brewer missed an open 3-pointer at the buzzer. Though they celebrated with their fans, the Jayhawks tried to stay level after the early low spots in the young season.

"We took a huge step forward, and now we have to make sure we don't take a step back," said Russell Robinson, who had 12 points, seven rebounds and a key last-minute assist. "I can't think right now, but this definitely has to be the biggest win of our college career."

Kansas (5-1) beat a No. 1 team for the sixth time in school history and ended the Gators' 26-game winning streak against non-conference opponents.

Joakim Noah scored 17 points and forced overtime with a tip-in shortly before the regulation buzzer, but Florida (6-1) couldn't score in the final 1:22 after taking an 80-77 lead.
