Houston Hosts Kansas in Final Big 12 Regular Season Matchup

Houston looks to solidify its dominance while Kansas aims to salvage a disappointing season in a pivotal late-season clash.

Houston, ranked No. 3, has already secured its second consecutive Big 12 regular-season championship with a 25-4 overall record and 17-1 in conference play.
Kansas, unranked and struggling at 19-10, faces the possibility of finishing the regular season unranked for the first time since 1999-2000 if it fails to win against Houston or Arizona in its final two games.
The Jayhawks, despite early-season promise and a strong start, have faltered in Big 12 play, losing six of their last eleven games and struggling offensively, particularly in shooting efficiency and free-throw rate.
Houston's success continues to be driven by its elite defense, ranked No. 1 in adjusted defensive efficiency, and a balanced offense that has improved compared to prior seasons.
The game, set to tip off at 9:00 PM ET, will be televised on ESPN, marking a key opportunity for Kansas to boost its NCAA Tournament hopes and for Houston to maintain momentum heading into March Madness.
