Jayhawks Looking to Weather the Cyclones

 

The #2 Kansas Jayhawks return to Lawrence and look to improve to 10-0 this season inside Allen Fieldhouse, as they battle #14 Iowa State on Saturday.

 

The Jayhawks enter this matchup with a 15-1 record and undefeated in conference play, while the Cyclones are 13-2 and also undefeated in Big 12 play. Iowa State has collected impressive wins over TCU, Oklahoma, and most recently a 34 point win over Texas Tech.

 

The Cyclones feature impressive depth, with eight different players averaging at least 6 points per game. Although not a great rebounding team, Iowa State is one of the best in the Big 12 in assists per game, as well as limiting turnovers.

 

A key player for Iowa State is graduate transfer Osun Osuniyi. The senior big man averages 8 points per game, but currently has 316 career blocks, and has averaged at least 2.4 blocks per game every season of his career. Osuniyi is known as one of the most dominant rim protectors in the nation, and has consistently been viewed as an NBA prospect.

 

Coverage of the game between the Iowa State Cyclones and the Kansas Jayhawks begins Saturday at 1:30 p.m. CT on Greatest Hits 104.1 FM.
