Both teams are doing extremely well but there is a massive gap between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Iowa State Cyclones. Looking at the offense recently, Kansas is scoring 83.0 points in their last three games while Iowa State is averaging 69.2 points in their previous five games.

Throughout the season, these teams have been shooting well but the Jayhawks are a little better.
