Sunflower Showdown Turns into a Make or Break Moment  Jamie
Squire  Kansas is in what is likely a must win moment if they
still hope to contend for a Big 12 title and extend their league
winning streak to nine.  Ask any fan if they would trade a
national title in exchange for a second or third place finish in
their conference and it's a no brainer, you take the Final Four,
the National Title and you move on. On the other hand league
titles still matter and they matter a lot more when you have a
streak of eight straight going. Granted every Kansas fan knows
that at some point this streak is going to end, but three games
ago this sure didn't seem to be the year that it would happen.
Now Kansas heads into Monday night's Sunflower Showdown a game
back of Kansas State and in a make or break moment for the
league race. A win and there is still hope, lose and Kansas is
on a four game slide and nearly out of contention.  How did we
get here? Right now the Jayhawks look like a shell of what they
were back in December.
