When Texas Tech began turning heads early in Big 12 play, leading scorer Terrence Shannon was dealing with an injury and did not play.

Now, with Shannon healthy and coming off a season-best 23 points, the No. 18 Red Raiders (15-4, 5-2 Big 12) have a rematch with one of the elite teams they knocked off earlier, visiting No. 7 Kansas (16-2, 5-1) on Monday night in Lawrence, Kan.

"I won't say I'm all the way back. I'm still finding my rhythm. I'm trying to let the game come to me and I feel like I did a better job at this game," said Shannon, who sat out seven games and finally regained his rhythm with a 7-for-12 effort in a victory Saturday over West Virginia.
