Kansas and NC State has vastly different seasons last year. The Jayhawks were the top-ranked team to begin the season but fell short in the NCAA Tournament. NC State surprised many with its Final Four run as a No. 11 seed.
This season, more people are aware of the Wolfpack. They're 7-3 and on a two-game winning streak heading into this matchup. They did, however, endure a three-game losing streak recently that put a major blemish on their season so far.
Kansas is also going through a rough patch. After earning the top preseason ranking for the second consecutive year, the Jayhawks started 7-0 before dropping two straight to unranked squads. Kansas dropped down to 10th in the rankings ahead of its matchup with NC State.
Hunter Dickinson remains a Player of the Year candidate, as he's averaging 15 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. The Jayhawks will go as far as the fifth-year center takes them.
It's more than just Dickinson, though. Zeke Mayo, Dajuan Harris Jr. and KJ Adams Jr. are all major contributors to this Kansas team. They'll look to use this out-of-conference game to get back on track before the new year.
