ABOUT KANSAS (0-0): KU coach Bill Self is hoping for the emergence of sophomore forward Carlton Bragg, who combined for just eight points and six boards in KU’s exhibition games against Washburn and Emporia State. Self would like to see the continued strong shooting of Svi Mykhailiuk off the bench. Mykhailiuk hit for 32 points off 6-of-10 three-point shooting in the exhibition season. Josh Jackson will be making his collegiate regular-season debut under the bright lights of ESPN. Jackson scored 25 points in the two exhibitions. KU will leave immediately after the game for New York, site of Tuesday’s 8:30 p.m. Champions Classic game against Duke.
ABOUT INDIANA (0-0): The Hoosiers, who are led by ninth-year coach Tom Crean, clobbered Hope 98-65 and Bellarmine 73-49 in exhibition games. Sophomore forward OG Anunoby averaged 20.5 points off 16-of-20 shooting in the two games. He was 7 of 11 from three in the contests. Sophomore forward Thomas Bryant averaged 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds and shot 64.7 from the field in the practice games. Indiana, which won the Big Ten a year ago, is beginning the post-Yogi Ferrell era. The Hoosiers plan a point guard by committee and promise to continue fast-paced basketball. Indiana leads the all-time series against KU, 7-6. The teams last met in 1995. Indiana defeated Kansas twice in the NCAA Championship game. The Hoosiers won in 1940, 60-42, and in 1953, 69-68. Both games were played in Kansas City. In the last five seasons, Indiana has had the most potent offense in the Big Ten, leading in points scored (77.7), field goal percentage (47.8) and three-point field goal percentage (40.2). The Hoosiers lead all major conference schools in field goal percentage and three-point percentage during that same span.
