How to Watch: Iowa State at Kansas

Big Monday could turn into a big blowout.

NCAA Basketball: Oklahoma at Kansas Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

Kansas sticks around Allen Fieldhouse for a Big Monday matchup with the Iowa State Cyclones.

Kansas is the #3 team in the country in the AP Poll, while Iowa State comes in unranked. KenPom currently has KU at #1 and ISU at #71, which makes the Cyclones the highest-rated team with a losing record. (#31 Minnesota is currently .500.) The Jayhawks are coming off an 87-70 home win over Oklahoma while the ‘Clones are coming off an impressive an 81-52 home win in Ames against a laughable Texas Longhorns squad.

Kansas leads the all-time series with Iowa State 183-66, which includes a 53-10 mark inside Allen Fieldhouse. The most recent meeting between these two programs was a 79-53 Kansas victory in Ames back in January in a game that KU led by 20 at halftime.
