How to Watch Kansas Women's Basketball Vs Oral Roberts Plus the Lineups

The Kansas Jayhawks return to Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night looking to improve to 3-0 on the season as they welcome Oral Roberts to Lawrence. Behind a dominant start from Jaliya Davis and strong contributions from S'Mya Nichols, Kansas will look to extend its impressive home winning streak.

The Kansas women's basketball team will look to continue its strong start to the 2026-27 season Tuesday night when the Jayhawks host Oral Roberts at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas enters the matchup with a 2-0 record after opening the season with consecutive victories over Omaha and Drake.

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT, with the game available to watch on ESPN+.

Kansas has looked impressive through its first two regular-season contests, and one of the biggest reasons has been the emergence of Jaliya Davis. The sophomore forward has been outstanding to begin the season, leading the Jayhawks in scoring in both games with 20 points against Omaha and another 20 against Drake.

Davis is averaging 20 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while recording eight blocks through the opening two contests. Her performance earned her a spot on the Big 12 Starting Five, and she currently leads the conference in field-goal percentage at 77.3%.

Another player Kansas will rely on Tuesday is S'Mya Nichols. The veteran guard has been consistent offensively, averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals through two games. Nichols also recently reached 1,700 career points and continues climbing the program's all-time scoring list.

Regan Williams has also provided valuable production, averaging 10 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Having multiple players contribute offensively will be important as Kansas prepares for tougher competition later in the schedule.

Oral Roberts enters Tuesday's matchup with a 2-1 record after picking up victories over Rogers State and Cameron. The Golden Eagles have shown they can put points on the scoreboard, including scoring 102 points against Cameron. However, they will face a significantly tougher challenge against a Kansas team that has been playing well defensively.

Aubrey Hishaw and Kayten Donley are two players Kansas will need to keep an eye on. Hishaw is averaging 12.7 points and seven rebounds per game, while Donley is contributing 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds. If Kansas can limit their opportunities around the basket and force difficult shots, the Jayhawks should have an advantage.

Historically, Kansas has dominated this matchup. The Jayhawks hold a 16-1 advantage in the all-time series and have won four consecutive meetings. Their most recent matchup came last season, when Kansas secured an 86-75 victory behind 15 points from Nichols.

Tuesday's game also presents another opportunity for Kansas to protect its home court. The Jayhawks have won 45 consecutive non-conference home games, a school record dating back to December 2020. Kansas is also 71-18 at Allen Fieldhouse since the beginning of the 2021-22 season.

With Davis continuing to establish herself as one of the conference's most productive players and Nichols providing veteran leadership, Kansas has an opportunity to make another statement Tuesday night.

The Jayhawks will look to take care of business before facing their first major road test of the season against No. 25 Nebraska on Saturday.  JayhawksRoundtable
