A suddenly hot Kansas State team will host No. 16 Kansas on Saturday in Manhattan, Kan., as the Sunflower Showdown returns to the hardwood. The Wildcats have won four straight games, including two against ranked teams and two on the road. Kansas State (11-11, 5-6 Big 12) won its past two home matchups against Kansas, with both games going into overtime. Kansas (16-6, 7-4) has been trading wins and losses recently, taking tough defeats each of the past two Saturdays. The Jayhawks fell to Houston in double overtime at home on Jan. 25, seeing six-point leads disappear late in regulation and in the first overtime.
