That didn't last long: Kansas took over the top-spot on Monday, by just one vote over second-ranked Texas. The Jayhawks then went out and lost to rival Kansas State, 84 to 68. Kansas came out flat and never recovered losing for the second time this year. Kansas State, predicted to be a final four participant, pre-season needed a trademark win, and this was it. The Wildcats improved to 17-9 on the year. Now if Texas holds true versus Oklahoma State and Nebraska, look for the Longhorns to take over the number-one ranking.
