Kansas takes on New Mexico State in the annual Sprint Center game aka the most hated game on the schedule for most Kansas fans, but this year it has a little extra importance as Kansas City will be hosting the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds of the Midwest Regional, and not only could the Jayhawks use every win possible to ensure they get into Kansas City, they should take advantage of the extra game of preparation for the venue as well.
As for the game itself, the Aggies haven’t played much of a schedule yet. They’re 0-1 against top 100 opponents and Kansas is their first top 50 opponent.
