The Jayhawks are back on track and positioned to win the Big 12 Conference regular season championship. But there is no rest for the weary as the schedule gets more daunting down the stretch. Monday night’s game against the Texas Longhorns will go a long way toward determining the winner of the Big 12 race. On March 4, Texas will host Kansas in the rematch.
Cause by their recent performance, Kansas looks like a solid March Madness team that can’t repeat as champions.
