  "account": "The 2026-27 college basketball season is set to kick off with Kansas Basketball receiving two significant games on Big Monday in 2027. The Big 12, in partnership with ESPN, has announced the schedule for these Monday games, and the Jayhawks will participate in two more matches this year.\n\nFirst up, Kansas will face Houston on February 1st. This is a crucial game for both teams, as it falls within the Big Monday event. Kansas has had a strong track record on Big Monday, boasting a 66-17 record under head coach Bill Self, including a perfect 3-0 last year with a victory at home against top-ranked Arizona.\n\nFollowing this, Kansas will host Iowa State at their home venue, Allen Fieldhouse, on March 1st. This game is of significant importance, as it could potentially determine the top of the Big 12 standings. Historically, Kansas has had the upper hand in these matchups, winning 18 of the last 19 meetings in Lawrence. However, Kansas has struggled against Houston on the road, losing two of three games by a combined 36 points.",
