Game Preview
With a victory at top-ranked Houston on Saturday, No. 14 Kansas could complete the regular season in third place in the Big 12, a finish that most programs in the nation would relish.
Of course, the standard for excellence is higher for the Jayhawks (22-8, 10-7), whose season-long injury woes have undermined what was an outstanding start to the campaign that included victories over Kentucky, Tennessee and defending champion UConn.
Kansas entered its conference opener against TCU with a 12-1 record and as the second-ranked team in the nation. The Jayhawks proved unable to maintain that momentum through the Big 12 gauntlet, one that will conclude against a Houston team that is atop the league standings.
