No. 7 Kansas Looks to Bounce Back Against No. 23 Iowa State in Marquee Big 12 Showdown

No. 7 Kansas will face No. 23 Iowa State in a highly anticipated Big 12 matchup on Saturday. Both teams, with identical 4-2 conference records, are vying for a top spot in the standings.

The Jayhawks are coming off a recent win against Cincinnati, but their road performances have been inconsistent this season. Having won all their conference home games, they aim to improve their 1-2 away record in this marquee Top 25 showdown.

Iowa State, on the other hand, started their Big 12 campaign with defeat against Oklahoma but has since won four out of their last five games. Highlighted by victories over ranked opponents Houston and TCU, the Cyclones have proven their competitiveness.

The clash will take place at the James H. Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. CBS will broadcast the game, and it will also be available for live streaming via CBS All Access and Paramount+.

Predicting the outcome of this game is challenging as Kansas has shown both dominance and vulnerability this season. However, the CBS panel predicts a bounce-back performance from the Jayhawks this weekend. With a spread of +3.5, they believe Kansas has the potential to come out on top.
