The No. 9 Kansas Jayhawks won the Sunflower Showdown in dominant fashion with an 84-74 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats in the latest edition of the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday.

Kansas State basketball showed fight, but ultimately a disastrous start cost the Wildcats in their attempt to end their Allen Fieldhouse losing streak.

Kansas State travels to Lawrence for the first round of the 2025 Sunflower Showdown looking to end an 18-game drought at Allen Fieldhouse.

Allen Fieldhouse remains a place of horrors for the Kansas State men’s basketball team. The Wildcats haven’t won a road game against Kansas since 2006, and that didn’t change on Saturday when the Jayhawks defeated their rivals 84-74 in front of a sellout crowd.

The Kansas Jayhawks are coming off a loss to arguably their biggest rival in the Big 12, only to face their in-state rival in the Kansas State Wildcats. But with the friendly confines of Allen Fieldhouse waiting, it's safe to say that they should be massive favorites in this one.

Kansas basketball is looking to bounce back Saturday at home against Kansas State. Can the Jayhawks put together another win in this rivalry series?
