The Kansas Jayhawks have slipped from No. 9 to No. 17 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll after a four‑game skid that included a sweep at the hands of West Virginia.
The recent downturn has left the team on a four‑game losing streak, but the Jayhawks still sit atop the Big 12 standings, holding a one‑game edge over the Mountaineers and a three‑game cushion over Arizona State and UCF.
A Final Chance to Reclaim Momentum
With the regular season winding down, Kansas is set to close out its conference schedule against BYU. A strong performance in that series could restore the team’s momentum and keep the Big 12 regular‑season title within reach.
Coach Billy Smith and his staff have emphasized discipline and execution in practice, hoping to translate those lessons into a decisive finish. The upcoming games will not only determine the final conference standings but also shape the Jayhawks’ postseason prospects.
