Kansas and Iowa State meet up for the second time in three days as the Jayhawks head to Ames for the return trip of the annual conference home-and-home.

KU enters the contest at 14-7, unranked (for the first time since 2009) but receiving votes. Iowa State, meanwhile, at just 2-13 is obviously not receiving votes . KenPom has the Jayhawks at #22 and the Hawkeyes at #138.

Kansas leads the overall series against ISU by a 183-66 count. That said, the Jayhawks are just four games over .500 in Hilton Coliseum at 26-22 all-time. The most recent meeting between these two programs was Thursday, a 97-64 KU win in Lawrence.

Here are the essentials:
