Kansas looks to put an uninspired performance at last weekend's ESPN Events Invitational behind them tonight, as they face what is likely their second toughest test of the year so far. Technically, this is a neutral site game, but since their opponent, St. John's, is located just a short drive from UBS Arena in Elmont, NY, it's fair to say one team has a geographical advantage.
The Red Storm are ranked 55th by Ken Pomeroy, and 69th by Bart Torvik, while the Jayhawks come in 5th and 7th respectively. Pomeroy sees them as a fairly balanced team, good on both ends of the court, but great on neither.
