The Jayhawks' non-conference schedule concludes with a 64-60 loss to UMass. After a terriblerous travel day, the Jayhawks are outrebounded 46-33 and outscored 42-2 in the paint en route to their fourth loss of the season. Freshman point guard Jeff Boschee scores a career-high 16 points but misses a three-pointer with 10 seconds remaining that would give Kansas the lead. Junior college transfer Ashante Johnson sees his first action as a Jayhawk, scoring two points in five minutes of playing time.

The third-largest crowd in Iowa State women's basketball history gathers in Ames, Iowa to watch a battle of top 25 teams. The nearly 7,000 fans see No. 21 Kansas struggle, shooting only 35 percent from the field in a disappointing loss to the No. 15 Cyclones. Brooke Reves, Big 12 newcomer of the year candidate, scores in double digits for the ninth straight game and shoots 60.2 percent from the field during that stretch.

Jan. 6 Kansas 66 Baylor 62
Kansas coach Roy Williams calls the Jayhawks victory a Baylor o step backward. The team goes cold offensively for much of the contest and finishes with 42 percent shooting. But key free throws during the game's closing minute help the Jayhawks hold on for their first Big 12 road win of the season.
