“I talked to him on Saturday after he got back because he wanted to get into the gym to shoot since he didn’t have time before he left.

The Kansas Jayhawks head south to College Station, TX on Wednesday night to face off against co-preseason favorite Texas A&M. This game was thought to possibly be the one that would crown the winner the Big 12 regular season champion.
