NC State vs. Kansas Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks are coming off their first two losses of the season so far, and they'll look to bounce back against unranked NC State this weekend.

Kansas lost consecutive games on the road, falling to the Creighton Bluejays and the Missouri Tigers last week. They are now 7-2 overall and have fallen from the No. 1 ranking to No. 10.

NC State has yet to play a true road game this season, with their only games outside of their home, PNC Arena, coming at a neutral site in California. They went 0-2 in those games as part of a three-game losing streak in late November and early December, falling to then-No. 13 Purdue, BYU, and Texas.
