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

The UCF Knights (17-15, 7-13 Big 12) take on the Kansas Jayhawks (20-11, 11-9 Big 12) in the second round of the Big 12 Championship on Wednesday night.

UCF is coming off a 15-point win in the first round of the conference tournament, while this is the Jayhawks' first game of the tournament.

Kansas had a disappointing regular season, entering the campaign as the AP Poll's preseason No. 1 team but ending it outside of the top 25 altogether.

UCF's biggest storyline this season was the transfer acquisition of highly-touted guard Mikey Williams, but he is likely out for the year with a knee injury. Their biggest win was at then-unranked Texas Tech in late December.
