Even though anything can happen in a game like this, if there is a tonic to fix the Jayhawks, it’s probably welcoming the worst team in the league to Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas State beat Iowa State in their Big 12 opener and then hasn’t won a conference game since and only kept one of those games within single digits.
While the offense will no doubt be buoyed by the return of Nijel Pack, the fact is the Wildcats still rank 10th in the Big 12, scoring under .9 points per possession. They also rank last in the Big 12 in 3-point shooting at around 26 percent, although the way the luck monster has gone lately they’re probably due for a 10-23 effort or something.
