Kansas Basketball Conference Schedule

While the specifics of KU’s league schedule have not been revealed, Jayhawk fans can infer how it should look. 

The conference is going back to an 18-game schedule this year. With 16 schools in the Big 12, Kansas will face each team at least once and three teams twice.

Of those three teams, Kansas State will likely meet with the Jayhawks for a home-and-home of the Sunflower Showdown. 

Houston, Baylor, and Iowa State are other conference rivals that KU could match up with for a second clash.
