No. 16 Kansas turned up the defense and shut down eighth-ranked Iowa State in a 69-52 victory that helped to keep the Jayhawks in the Big 12 title race.

The No. 11-ranked Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team is set to play No. 3 Iowa State on Monday. Of course, those rankings won’t be the same by the time tipoff rolls around: KU lost to Baylor on Saturday, while Iowa State lost to K-State. This is a rematch from earlier this season: KU lost to Iowa State in Ames in January.

The No. 16 Jayhawks dominated No. 8 Iowa State, 69-52, at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night, snapping their recent skid and proving once again that they don’t stay down for long. Kansas is now 5-1 in games following a loss this season, a testament to Bill Self’s ability to rally his team when it matters most.
