In their last game against the Wisconsin Badgers, the Jayhawks narrowly secured victory with a score of 69-68 after an intense overtime battle. Despite shooting just 39 percent from the field and 57 percent from the free-throw line, they managed to pull through thanks to their impressive rebounding effort, grabbing 50 boards. Their resilience was further demonstrated by overcoming 13 turnovers and still maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of over one.


Prior to that nail-biter, Kansas faced off against North Carolina State's Wolfpack where they emerged victorious with an 80-74 win. The team showed improvement in their shooting accuracy hitting nearly 42 percent of field goals and an impressive three-point percentage at approximately 48 percent. Their ability to capitalize on turnovers was evident as they scored 19 points off turnovers.


The most notable performance came during their home game against Southern Utah's Thunderbirds where they triumphed with an assertive scoreline of 82-76. The Jayhawks excelled in points in paint (50) and showcased efficient shooting by making over half of their field goal attempts.


Heading into this matchup at Imperial Arena—a neutral site known for its vibrant atmosphere—the Jayhawks will look to leverage their rebounding prowess and scoring efficiency inside the paint while aiming for consistency from beyond the arc.


Fans should expect Kansas to focus on minimizing turnovers while exploiting fast break opportunities created by their solid defense which has been averaging around seven steals per game recently.
