The No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks begin their quest to retain the Big 12 regular-season title Saturday at 4 p.m. ET against the No. 23 Baylor Bears at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas enters its conference home opener on a 10-game win streak that began after its defeat to the Michigan State Spartans at the Champions Classic.
The Jayhawks will be playing with extra motivation Saturday since a win would hand them the No. 1 spot in the rankings after Michigan State fell to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Tuesday.
In its three contests against fellow Top 25 teams in nonconference action, Baylor went 1-2, with its only win coming against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
