The Kansas Jayhawks (19-9, 10-7 Big 12) are gearing up to face off against No. 10 Texas Tech (21-7, 12-5 Big 12) in what promises to be a thrilling and high-stakes matchup. Kansas is looking to extend their four-game home winning streak, while Texas Tech is determined to close the gap on Houston in the Big 12 standings.
Texas Tech has been propelled by the impressive performances of JT Toppin, who is averaging 17.3 points and 9.2 rebounds per game this season. On the other hand, Hunter Dickinson has been a standout player for Kansas with 16.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
Despite Texas Tech’s recent success, Kansas holds a strong historical advantage with a 42-8 all-time record against the Red Raiders. Last season, Tech claimed a stunning 79-50 victory over Kansas, a game that also saw head coach Bill Self being ejected.
