Jayhawks plan on utilizing speed to combat Vanderbilt's size

Wayne Selden is averaging 15.0 points this season for KU.

Unbeaten and aiming for its first signature victory, Vanderbilt is about to make things a whole lot tougher for Kansas in paradise.

After both teams cruised to lopsided victories, the No. 19 Commodores and fifth-ranked Jayhawks meet for the first time in 18 years Wednesday night in the Maui Invitational.

Vanderbilt (4-0) is outscoring opponents by an average of 28.2 points after beating St. John's 92-55 on Monday and pounding Wake Forest 86-64 in the next day's semifinals.

The Commodores, however, have lost eight straight against teams in the Top 25, but this meeting with Kansas (3-1) will be their first of 2015-16.
