The Kansas Jayhawks are at home for what is sure to be an emotional Senior Night against the Kansas State Wildcats, looking to end their losing streak and send multiple important players out with a final home win.

Kansas tumbled in both polls after two losses last week, coming in at #14 in the AP Poll and #15 in the Coaches Poll. It's the first time since the 2021 season that Kansas has been outside of the Top 10. Houston is on an eight-game winning streak and held on to #1 in the latest polls.

The Jayhawks lead the series 6-2, including a dominant 78-65 win in Allen in Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season. Kansas lost their only meeting down in Houston, a 91-76 loss on November 26th, 1983.
