Kansas basketball had some momentum again, after a pair of Big 12 wins. But there was a bigger test awaiting the Jayhawks on Saturday vs Texas Tech.

Kansas forward Rylan Griffen credited KU’s “0-0” mentality with helping secure two straight wins. The Jayhawks look to extend their streak to three vs. No. 10 Texas Tech. It won’t be easy. While Texas Tech isn’t the biggest team, the Red Raiders are elite on both ends (top 30 in offensive and defensive efficiency).
