On the other hand, Kansas has had an up-and-down season. They are sixth in the conference with a 13-3 home record.

The Jayhawks boast a good defense that could force Arizona to rely on shooting 3-pointers. The Wildcats play a fast-paced game, but Kansas has a disciplined defense. This could deprive Arizona of scoring effectively and playing to its strengths.
