Top 10 Current Rivalries in College Basketball
By Jacob Rude
6. Kansas-Kansas State
The recent revival of Kansas State basketball has blossomed this rivalry into something special. Most memorably, Kansas State upset the Jayhawks last season in Manhattan. While Kansas still holds a commanding lead in the all-time series results, the rivalry is far more heated than those numbers suggest.
Recent years have seen Kansas win the majority of the games, often coming in with better talent. However, the wins by K-State have been big ones, like last year’s upset in overtime, a thumping in 2011, and the Michael Beasley and Bill Walker-led Wildcats taking down the #2 ranked Jayhawks.
