The Kansas men’s basketball team won’t have to wait long for a challenge in the 2016-17 season.
The Jayhawks, who released their nonconference schedule Tuesday afternoon, will open the regular season on Friday, Nov. 11 against Indiana at the Armed Forces Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii. Four days later, KU will play nearly 5,000 miles away, taking on likely preseason No. 1 Duke in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.
“We'll get our share of frequent flyer miles right off the bat,” KU coach Bill Self said.
KU’s nonconference schedule also is filled with homecoming games.
