Eighth-ranked Kansas will try to rebound on the road against Oklahoma State in a Big 12 tilt Wednesday night on Peacock.
The Jayhawks (9-3 Big 12, 19-6 overall) are coming off a 74-56 road loss to No. 5 Iowa State that snapped an eight-game winning streak (including an 82-78 victory over previously unbeaten Arizona). Kansas is 7-6 in Quad 1 games with the second-toughest schedule in the country.
After a 9-0 start, the Cowboys (4-8 Big 12, 16-9 overall) have dropped seven of nine and are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament (which they last made in 2021). They will need some wins among their five remaining Quad 1 games.
In the teams’ all-time series, Kansas holds a 127-60 edge over Oklahoma State that includes eight consecutive victories.
