I know that I have in the past snarkily (is that a word) referred to when other BigXII play KU it's their superbowl and I believe that every team that plays KU in conference or not plays with that extra spark and level to beat the great KU. It happens from time to time, but consistent play usually comes out in KU's favor.
Teams can get sick hot from 3 while KU gets cold and the game goes to the opponent...like the first Tech or Texas game, but once it comes down to the grind, KU wins merely by attrition. They're just the better team.
Last night reminded me of Shaka's last hurrah against KU...VCU in that game was over 50% from 3 while KU was 5% from three and KU lost by like 3 points. It happens...everyone wants to beat KU and it can happen if KU doesnt play well.
