The stage is set for a marquee Big 12 matchup on Saturday, as No. 12 Kansas basketball hosts No. 7 Houston in Allen Fieldhouse. Both teams come into this clash on a high note, but with contrasting paths to their most recent victories.

Houston made a statement on Wednesday, dismantling Utah in a lopsided 70-36 win. The Cougars’ suffocating defense stifled Utah at every turn, showcasing why they are one of the nation’s most feared teams.

Meanwhile, Kansas showed resilience on the road, overcoming an early 14-point deficit to defeat TCU 74-61. The Jayhawks improved to 14-4 on the season as a result.

These two teams last squared off on Mar. 9 of last season, with Houston dominating that contest in a 76-46 rout at home.

Kansas will be eager to flip the script in front of a raucous home crowd. Here's how you can catch the action.
