Your Kansas State Wildcats head into the very unfriendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse to face the Kansas Jayhawks tonight in part one of the 2017 basketball edition of the Sunflower Showdown.
History, as has been the case the past several decades, does not favor the Wildcats in this matchup. The Wildcats have won in Lawrence just twice since the oldest member of the Wildcat basketball squad has even been alive (DJ was born in ‘93). Things do not look good for the Wildcats.
KU enters tonights game with a 12-1 record and 1-0 mark in Big 12 play after running their winning streak to 12 in a row with an 86-80 victory at TCU on Friday; the Jayhawks haven’t lost since their season opener, a 103-99 overtime loss to Indiana.
