CHAMPAIGN, Illinois — Kansas basketball’s preparation for the 2023-24 season continues Sunday with an exhibition game against Illinois.
The Jayhawks are the preseason No. 1 team in the nation and the favorite to win the Big 12 Conference. The Fighting Illini are in position to contend for the Big Ten Conference title. It’s a return to Champaign for Kansas head coach Bill Self, who was the head coach at Illinois before he took over in Lawrence ahead of the 2003-04.
Who is going to start for the Jayhawks? How is the rotation going to look? It’s a charity exhibition game, but also an opportunity for Kansas to test itself before the season begins.
Here’s what’s happening inside the State Farm Center:
