Kansas ruled the Big 12 conference for decades, winning the regular season 21 times since 1997, but that dominance has ended. The Jayhawks have dropped three of their last five and slipped into a tie for fifth in the Big 12 standings after an 81-73 loss at Kansas State on Saturday. After dropping one spot to No. 17 in the AP poll, Kansas (16-7, 7-5) can stop the slide when it hosts Colorado on Tuesday night in Lawrence, Kan. Kansas lost to its in-state rival after a convincing 69-52 win over then-No. 8 Iowa State. The Jayhawks have been plagued by inconsistency, which is a startling contrast from the team that was ranked No.
