The Kansas Jayhawks play the Kansas State Wildcats on Monday. Tipoff is at 9:00 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream or listen to the radio broadcast via the links provided below.
No. 8 Kansas is 22-5 after dropping two of their last five games. They bounced back from last Monday's 62-61 loss at West Virginia with an 81-72 win at home Saturday against TCU. Jayhawks junior forward Perry Ellis, in particular, came out like he had something to prove on Saturday after missing a potential game-winning layup in the closing seconds of the West Virginia.
"I know he probably felt like he let us down (last Monday), but he didn't," coach Bill Self said, via ESPN. "He played very well in the game. (Michael) Jordan, if I'm not mistaken, missed a lot of shots too, and everybody does. If you play competitive ball, you do miss some shots."
Ellis, who finished strong against TCU with 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field, indicated the missed shot against West Virginia stuck with him that week.
"I was anxious to play, get back on the court," he said. "(Missing the shot against West Virginia) was tough, man. I knew I had a chance to make it but I couldn't."
Kansas handed their interstate rival a 68-57 win on Jan. 31, but it could be a different game Monday night - especially since the Jayhawks' two losses this month came on the road.
The unranked Wildcats are 13-15 and looking for a spark to get them out of their rut. They've lost five of their last six games, including two straight after Saturday's 69-42 blowout at Baylor.
