From one perspective, tonight's game against Kentucky at Allen Fieldhouse doesn't mean a whole lot to either team. Bracket Matrix currently shows Kansas as a 1 seed, and Kentucky a 4 seed. A loss will not send either team tumbling as March nears, especially given the reputation of the two teams involved. And as a non-conference game, neither the Big 12 or SEC race will be impacted. Still, any time two heavyweights in the sport meet up, on a Saturday with no football distractions, it's going to garner a lot of attention. ESPN's GameDay is on hand in Lawrence, and you can bet that both teams will want to put on a show on national television.
