Kentucky. Florida. Georgetown.
Iowa State. Texas. K-State.
The Kansas basketball schedule is set for the 2014-15 season after the Big 12 released its full conference slate on Thursday for the upcoming year. The Jayhawks’ nonconference schedule was previously released in May.
The nonconference slate is packed with power matchups, including an early-season date with Kentucky at the Champions Classic on Nov. 18 in Indianapolis. The Jayhawk will also play host to Florida in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge and travel to Georgetown and Temple. The regular-season opener is Nov. 14 against UC Santa Barbara at Allen Fieldhouse.
