Game Primer and LIVE Blog: Kansas at Kansas State Basketball

Everything you need to know plus LIVE updates as the Jayhawks are in Manhattan for Big Monday against the Wildcats.

It's time for round one of the Sunflower Showdown tonight, as the Kansas Jayhawks head to Manhattan, KS to take on the Kansas State Wildcats. Kansas is back on track at the top of the conference after two dominant victories at home last week, but they are hoping to avoid a letdown back on the road. Kansas State is in a four-game losing streak and hoping to find a way to break it while they are right in the middle of a brutal stretch of conference play.

Kansas jumped up in the polls this week, rising to the #4 spot in each of the polls to replace Houston.

The Jayhawks lead the all-time series 201-95, including a 28-6 mark in Bramlage. Kansas has won eight of the last nine meetings and 16 of the last 18. Last season, they lost a one-point game in Manhattan.
