4. Kansas Jayhawks

Previous Ranking: 3

Record: 14-1 (3-0 Big 12)

Kansas escaped a near-loss thanks to a non-call against Kansas State. They then prevailed over the Red Raiders to stay unbeaten in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks will visit transitioning Oklahoma in Norman and then host Oklahoma State this week.

Frank Mason III is still the favorite for Big 12 POY honors. The point guard scored 26 points to lead all players in the Jayhawks’ win over TTU. He got 20 points from Devonte’ Graham and 17 from Josh Jackson. Kansas will battle Baylor for the Big 12 title, but KSU showed that Bill Self’s team could struggle against teams that are strong inside.
