Las Vegas – Kansas doesn’t lose very often, in fact only five times so far this season, but the rebound has been PERFECT. The Jayhawks lost to Dayton 74-73, then bounced back with a 96-83 win over Iona. They lost to Texas Tech 75-67 then bounced back with a 62-61 W in the next game against Iowa State. The next loss was to Kentucky, 80-62, but the Hawks beat Iowa State again next time, 70-61. A 79-76 loss to Texas was followed by a 71-69 win over Oklahoma. So four losses followed by four wins. Kansas just lost to Baylor on Saturday, 80-70, so you know Rock Chalk, Jayhawk will throw in and leave Fort Worth with a nice win over the Horned Frogs.
