The Kansas Jayhawks (16-6) and the Kansas State Wildcats (11-11) are set to clash on Saturday in a highly anticipated college basketball showdown at Bramlage Coliseum.
It hasn’t exactly been the dream season for Kansas State, but the Wildcats have found their rhythm, stringing together four straight victories. Two games ago, they dominated Iowa State with an 80-61 win, and in their most recent outing, they squeaked past Arizona State in a nail-biter, 71-70.
In that contest, Kansas State held a 35-32 edge at halftime and managed to fend off Arizona State's second-half push. They shot efficiently from the field at 46.6%, including 38.5% from beyond the arc. Leading the charge was David N’Guessan, who had a standout performance with 22 points and eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, Kansas enters this matchup riding high after a dominant defensive performance against Iowa State. The Jayhawks allowed just 52 points in that game and secured a convincing 17-point victory. Zeke Mayo was a key contributor, tallying 17 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. He was one of three Kansas players to finish in double figures, with at least 12 points apiece.
However, just two games prior, Kansas struggled against Baylor, suffering an 81-70 defeat. The Jayhawks have battled injuries all season, though no new setbacks have been added to the list. Elmarko Johnson has been sidelined all year, and Zach Clemence remains out with a groin injury that has kept him off the court since December.
