Game Primer: How To Watch, Key Facts for Tulsa at Kansas

The Golden Hurricane visit Lawrence to take on the newly-ranked Jayhawks. Here's everything you need to know to catch the game.

The Kansas Jayhawks are ranked and rolling right now, heading into the final home game of the non-conference schedule. And the opponent tonight is a Tulsa Golden Hurricane team that was led by Wyvette Mayberry last season. Her former team comes to town looking to extend their own hot start.

The Jayhawks are ranked and coming off of their seventh straight 20-point win. They are hoping to keep that streak going against a team that is arguably the strongest  opponent they have seen at home so far.

Overview

The Jayhawks are flying high with arguably the best start they have had under head coach Brandon Schneider. Kansas has been dominant on the inside, but tonight's opponent thrives on the perimeter. With Holly Kersgieter out for this game, it will be a huge challenge to see how Kansas handles this matchup.

The Kansas Jayhawks are ranked 22nd in the AP Poll and 24th in the Coaches Poll. Tulsa is unranked.

Kansas has won both meetings between these two teams, with the last being a 82-78 win back on December 22nd, 2013.
