Kansas vs. Iowa State prediction, online live stream and TV broadcast information for Saturday’s game.


On Sunday, the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks will host the No. 21 Iowa State Cyclones at Phog Allen Fieldhouse for their regular season finale.

The Jayhawks (26-4, 14-3 Big 12) are one of, if not the hottest team in America right now having won 10 consecutive games. Kansas is coming off a commanding, 86-56 win over Texas to clinch the club’s 12th straight Big 12 regular-season title. 

The Cyclones (21-9, 10-7 Big 12) have everyone back on their roster and are hitting their stride with wins in three of their last four games. Iowa State is coming off a 58-50 win over Oklahoma State last Monday. They worked advantages on the glass and from behind the arc to capture the victory.

Saturday’s finale between Kansas and Iowa State will be the 241st meeting between the two programs. The Jayhawks hold a 177-63 lead in the all-time series. However, they have lost the last two contests to the Cycones, including an 85-72 defeat on Jan. 25 in Ames.

Prediction

The Jayhawks have the No. 1 seed in the conference tourney locked up, but need this win if they want to keep a top seed in the Big Dance. For that reason alone, there shouldn’t be any lull from Kansas. With a 10-game winning streak and playing at home, who would pick against the Jayhawks? 

Iowa State needs this win too as they are jockeying for seeding in the Big 12 Tournament, but Kansas just has too many playmakers and the team as a whole is playing with title-contention continuity. Make it 11-striaght as it’ll be another ho-hum 20-point game for Perry Ellis on Senior Day as Rock Chalk waltzes into postseason play on a roll.


Prediction: Kansas 78, Iowa State 71


Game Notes

  • Kansas has won a mind-boggling 32-straight home finales, including 31 consecutive Senior Days, dating back to the 1983-84 season.
  • ISU, which looks to lead the Big 12 in scoring for the fourth consecutive season, is the league’s top scoring team (82.2). The Cyclones are second nationally and lead the Big 12 shooting 50.3 percent from the field.
  • Coming off his 10th 20-point effort of the season with 20 points at Texas (2/29), Perry Ellis leads Kansas in scoring (16.3 ppg) and is second in rebounding (6.0 rpg).
