If Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self sticks with his stated plan, he will be balancing playing time during his team’s upcoming trip to the World University Games in South Korea. In a broad sense, the plan could mean different starting lineups each game and minutes spread equally among the entire roster. In specific terms, it could mean a pivotal opportunity for such players as senior forward Hunter Mickelson and junior big man Landen Lucas, two likely reserves who will be battling for frontcourt minutes this fall.
