Kansas is the preseason choice to win the Big 12 men’s basketball regular season championship.
The Jayhawks were a unanimous selection and are the favorite for the 14th time in conference history overall.
Kansas returns four starters back from a squad that recorded its 10th consecutive season with 25 or more victories.
Senior Perry Ellis leads the squad after being the only player in the conference in the top 10 in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.
The Jayhawks look to earn their 27th straight NCAA bid - which would match North Carolina (1975-2001) for the all-time tournament record.
