The regular season opening game sees KANSAS hosting “shorts on backwards” Doug Gottlieb’s Green Bay on the first official AY2025-26 University of Kansas Men’s basketball…

Here’s to a great season…

Some tidbits on Green Bay from HCBS interview:

The Phoenix have 10 newcomers this season, Gottlieb’s 2nd.

Green Bay’s roster features two international players, four true freshmen, and six transfers. One of the transfers, Ramel Bethea, is 29 and the oldest player in college basketball. He joined the Phoenix after a year at MiraCosta College and five years in the military.

“Kudos to him for serving our country. I mean, that’s probably the coolest thing about it from my standpoint,” said Self,

Basketball is fun again!

Great first half. Excellent defensive intensity and player spacing/ball movement on O. DP is an ALPHA dog and Flory has the soft touch. Having that 1-5 combo will be fun to watch this year. Nice to see the supporting squad too - Council is fast and it’s cool to see Elmarko and Jamari getting some quality minutes.

Great start to the new season. Fun to watch a team play old school Bill Self defense AND score some points -- 57% from the floor, including 37% from 3 point land, and a solid 75% team showing from the FT line!

KU has now won 53 straight home openers, beginning
in 1973-74 under head coach Ted Owens. Owens won his final 10
home openers to start the streak. KU coaches Larry Brown (5-0)
and Roy Williams (15-0) never lost a home opener and Bill Self is
now 23-0.

Next up the first real test of the regular season at the Traitor Dome in Chapel Hill on Friday.

Although KU has played UNC in NC once before, that was in Charlotte.
Friday will be the first ever game KU has played UNC in Chapel Hill.

KANSAS v UNC history
