Game Primer: How To Watch, Things to Know for Texas Southern at Kansas

Here's everything you need to know as the Jayhawks come home to take on the Tigers.

The Kansas Jayhawks suffered their first loss of the season last week. But before the big non-conference stretch picks back up, they get to come home tonight and take on a Texas Southern Tigers team that they match up against much better.

The Tigers are coming off of a 78-63 loss to the Samford Bulldogs on November 20th. They are coming off a 19-13 season that saw them win the SWAC tournament to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. They advanced past the First Four against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before being eliminated by Kansas in the 1st round of the Midwest Regional. They are coached Johnny Jones, who is 77-59 in his fifth season at the school.

Kansas dropped to #9 in both polls this week after their loss to Tennessee. Texas Southern is unranked.

Kansas leads the all-time series between these two programs 5-0, including a 4-0 record in Lawrence. The last meeting between these two teams was in last year's NCAA Tournament, where Kansas prevailed 83-56.
