Kansas State and Kansas will tip off at 5 PM at Bramlage Coliseum in the latest episode of the Sunflower Showdown.
This rivalry has been dominated by apologies lately, but there's still a game to be played, and the Wildcats are confident they can hold their own against the Jayhawks (Kevin Haskin, Topeka Capital-Journal).
Kansas' relative weakness on defense could work in the Wildcats' favor, although Kansas State's shooting struggles won't help matters (Jesse Newell, Kansas City Star).
As noted in the KC Star's three-minute preview capsule, a win today would be critical for Kansas to win the Big 12 regular season title.
