Only two teams in the Big 12 Conference have a worse league mark than Kansas University’s volleyball team.
KU will try to break a five-game losing skid tonight against one of them: Iowa State.
The Cyclones (8-8 overall, 1-7 Big 12) currently sit in 10th place. Kansas, mired by its recent conference road woes, sits a spot better at 1-6. Winless Oklahoma occupies the cellar.
But the Jayhawks might have the perfect opportunity to win a league match for the first time since Sept. 22 in its 7 p.m. contest in Ames, Iowa.
Iowa State is 0-4 this season against Big 12 foes at home, and currently has lost eight straight matches to Kansas.
However, the Cyclones just overcame a six-match slump with a win Monday against in-state rival Drake. ISU’s lone Big 12 win came Sept. 17 at Oklahoma.
Kansas University’s volleyball team will play its last home match of the season tonight when it meets Missouri at 7 p.m. at Horejsi Center.
KU (14-13) dipped to 5-13 in the Big 12 Conference with three consecutive straight-set losses to Texas Tech, Kansas State and Texas. Missouri is 12-5 in the league.
