The Jayhawk Conference contest begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Sports Arena.
The odds on the Blue Dragons still being undefeated entering Saturday didn't look great with 5 1/2 minutes to play in the third quarter on Wednesday against Coffeyville. The Dragons trailed by 21 points, but managed to turn things around and defeat the Red Ravens 70-63 in the KJCCC opener for both teams.
