Kansas (24-7, 13-5) is currently ranked #9 in the AP Poll.
Oklahoma State (19-13, 8-10) comes in unranked.
The Cowboys are coached by Mike Boynton Jr, who is in his first year as a head coach but is now definitely a better coach than Shaka Smart.
Oklahoma State thoroughly dominated Kansas in both regular season matchups this year, winning a not-as-close-as-it-seems game in Lawrence by an 84-79 score, and blasting KU 82-64 in Stillwater less than a week ago.
The Jayhawks still lead the all-time series against the Cowboys, 113-59.
For a “tournament that doesn’t matter,” Kansas is 41-11 all-time in the Big 12 Tournament, winning it 10 out of 21 tries, with by far the best winning percentage (.
