How To Watch

What to Know

We’ve got another exciting Big 12 matchup on schedule as the Kansas Jayhawks and the BYU Cougars are set to tip at 8:00 p.m. ET on February 27th at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas will be looking to keep their 19-game home win streak (dating back to last season) alive.

Winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 19.6% better than the opposition, a fact Kansas proved on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Longhorns as the Jayhawks made off with a 86-67 win. With Kansas ahead 45-25 at the half, the contest was all but over already.

Kansas’ win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Johnny Furphy, who scored 16 points along with eight rebounds and two steals. Furphy is trending in the right direction, as he’s improved his point production for four games straight. The team also got some help courtesy of Dajuan Harris, who scored 14 points along with six assists.

Meanwhile, the Cougars came up short against the Wildcats on Saturday and fell 84-74.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Richie Saunders, who scored 11 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Another player making a difference was Fousseyni Traore, who scored ten points along with five rebounds.

The Jayhawks have been performing well recently as they’ve won three of their last four matches, which somehow isn’t as good as their 21-6 record this season. As for the Cougars, their loss dropped their record down to 19-8.

Tuesday’s match is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: Kansas just can’t miss this season, having made 50.4% of their shots per game (they’re ranked third in field goal percentage overall). However, it’s not like BYU struggles in that department as they’ve made 46.7% of their shots this season. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Kansas strolled past the Cougars in their previous matchup back in November of 2019 by a score of 71-56. Will Kansas repeat their success, or do the Cougars have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.

Doe v. State of Kansas | American Civil Liberties Union

Doe v. State of Kansas | American Civil Liberties Union

In early 2026, the Kansas state legislature passed SB 244, a law which prohibits transgender people from using public restrooms on government property that align with their gender identity and establishes a private right of action that allows anyone who suspects someone is transgender and in violation of the law to sue that person for “damages” totaling $1,000.

The law also invalidates state-issued driver’s licenses with updated gender markers that reflect the carrier’s gender identity. In February 2026, transgender people across the state received letters from the state Department of Revenue’s Division of Vehicles informing them that their driver’s licenses “will no longer be valid,” effective immediately. SB 244 also prohibits transgender Kansans – or those born in Kansas – from updating the gender marker on state-issued birth certificates and driver’s licenses in the future.

The same day SB 244 went into effect, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Kansas, and Ballard Spahr LLP filed a lawsuit challenging SB 244 in the District Court of Douglas County on behalf of two transgender men who had their driver’s licenses invalidated under the law. The lawsuit charges that SB 244 violates the Kansas Constitution’s protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech.

“The invalidation of state-issued IDs threatens to out transgender people against their will every time they apply for a job, rent an apartment, or interact with police,” said Harper Seldin, Senior Staff Attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Rights Project. “Taken as a whole, SB 244 is a transparent attempt to deny transgender people autonomy over their own identities and push them out of public life altogether.”
