Kansas basketball to face Wichita State in regular season for first time in 21st century

A bygone Kansas basketball rivalry will be revived this year when the Jayhawks and the Wichita State Shockers face off in the regular season.

The last time Wichita State played the Kansas Jayhawks was in a heartbreaking NCAA Tournament loss back in 2015. Now, the two schools have scheduled a one-time regular season matchup on Dec. 29.

It is the first time the Shockers and Jayhawks will face off in the regular season since 1993. Between then and 1984, they played each other yearly, with Kansas taking eight of the nine contests.
