No. 1 Kansas has passed every test so far, but the unbeaten Jayhawks know a daunting Big 12 schedule lies ahead.
In between, three straight tricky Power 5 games await, beginning with Wednesday night's trip to Omaha, Neb., to take on Creighton in the Big 12-Big East Battle.
The Bluejays (5-3), who crashed out of the Top 25 this week, have had an up-and-down season, starting 4-0 before dropping three straight against Nebraska, San Diego State and then-No. 20 Texas A&M, the last two at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas.
Creighton rallied to grab an 80-76 win against Notre Dame in their final game of that event on Saturday thanks in part to 21 points and nine rebounds from Jamiya Neal.
