The Knights are coming off one of the worst losses in program history but have little time to wallow as they host Colorado on Wednesday.

Kansas basketball routed UCF on Sunday for a Big 12 Conference win. Here’s more on what was motivating the Jayhawks ahead of this matchup.

Luckily for the Jayhawks, however, UCF doesn’t match up well with KU. By most metrics, the Knights’ offense is pretty mediocre. On top of that, UCF struggles to rebound the ball and turns it over a lot.

UCF’s backcourt is no joke. Jordan Ivy-Curry (15.7 PPG) and Keyshawn Hall (15.8 PPG) are a dynamic guard duo who can light it up. Ivy-Curry is a quick, shifty scorer who thrives on creating his own shot, while Hall is a bigger guard who uses his frame to bully defenders and finish strong at the rim.

The No. 7 Kansas Jayhawks (9-3, 0-1 Big 12) are looking to rebound from a disappointing start to conference play as they travel to face the UCF Knights (10-2, 1-0 Big 12). This matchup marks an opportunity for Kansas to reset after suffering a rare league-opener loss at home to West Virginia,

Kansas basketball bounced back from losing its Big 12 opener with a historic 99-48 beatdown of UCF. KU head coach Bill Self credited his team's improved intensity after the win, sending a message of continued urgency to the Jayhawks.
