Kansas, ranked No. 9 in the , clocked a big 78-65 win over then-No. 4 Houston Saturday. The +1 Jayhawks shot a robust 68.9% from the field in running their home record to 12-0. But KU is just 1-3 across its last 4 games away from Allen Fieldhouse, and 2 of those losses were against teams not ranked in the current KenPom top-60.
Kansas State lost as a 2-point favorite Saturday, falling 75-72 at Oklahoma State and losing its 4th consecutive game. The Wildcats were outscored 14-5 at the free-throw line and have been doubled up 88-44 at the stripe over that skid.
