LAWRENCE, Kan. – No. 19/19 Kansas will conclude exhibition play when it hosts Fort Hays State on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Tip from Allen Fieldhouse will be at 7 p.m. (Central) and the game will be televised on ESPN+ with Steven Davis and Nick Bahe calling the action.
In its first exhibition game of the season, Kansas won at No. 11 Louisville, 90-82, on Oct. 24, at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville. Fort Hays State is opening its season in Tuesday's exhibition contest. The Tigers were 22-10 last season and 12-7 in the MIAA.
Kansas leads the overall series with Fort Hays State, 13-0, including an 11-0 mark in exhibition meetings. The series dates back to 1994 and all 13 matchups have been in Allen Fieldhouse.
In its exhibition win at No. 11 Louisville, Kansas was led by freshman sensation Darryn Peterson who scored 24 of his game-high 26 points in the first half. Behind Peterson's first half show, the Jayhawks led 46-30 at intermission. Other Jayhawks who scored in double figures included sophomore Flory Bidunga and senior Tre White with 14 apiece, while redshirt freshman Bryson Tiller had 12 points and senior Melvin Council Jr. and redshirt-sophomore Elmarko Jackson who had 11 points each.
Kansas is coming off a 21-13 season where it advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 34th time in the last 35 years, a run that started in 1990. Kansas finished sixth in the Big 12 with an 11-9 record.
Under Hall of Fame head coach Bill Self, who enters his 23rd season at Kansas, KU features returners Bidunga, Jamari McDowell and Jackson. KU has eight newcomers featuring Peterson, the top-rated recruit in the nation, and four upperclassmen transfers – White, Melvin Council Jr., Jayden Dawson, and Nginyu "Gee" Ngala.
Peterson, the third No. 1 ranked national recruit to play for Self at Kansas, joining Andrew Wiggins and Josh Jackson, is surrounded by a talented freshmen class this year, including Tiller, Kohl Rosario, who started the Louisville contest, Paul Mbiya, Samis Calderon, and Corbin Allen.
