The Kansas Jayhawks fell three spots to No. 12 in the latest Associated Press poll after splitting their conference matchups last week. Kansas suffered a 17-point loss to Iowa State in Ames, but rebounded with a 10-point victory over Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse.

The UConn men’s basketball team dropped to No. 19 in the Week 12 AP Top 25 rankings after seeing its 28-game home winning streak snapped in a loss to Creighton.

When the Jayhawks needed their stars to step up, Hunter Dickinson and Dajuan Harris Jr. delivered, especially after recent struggles. Dickinson was dominant inside, scoring 25 points on 12-of-19 shooting while grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out three assists. He set the tone early and kept Kansas steady throughout.

Kansas basketball never trailed and ran its winning streak against Kansas State basketball in Allen Fieldhouse to 19 games in the Sunflower Showdown.

The Jayhawks led by as many as 16 on Saturday, never trailing in an 84-74 win over the Wildcats. From the time it was 20-4 until the final buzzer, the No. 9 Jayhawks played cool, calm and collected, answering each K-State run with timely buckets.
