“We feel very good about the quality of our non-conference schedule,” Kansas head coach Brandon Schneider said. “The strength and mixture of home, away, and neutral site games will prepare us for the always challenging Big 12 slate.”
Kansas opens up the season with an exhibition game on Oct. 29 against Fort Hays State at home. The Jayhawks will follow up the opener with three straight home games against Kansas City (Nov. 5), Northwestern State (Nov. 9) and Lamar (Nov. 12).
The Jayhawks will play its first game away from Allen Fieldhouse on Nov. 15. Kansas and Missouri will renew its longtime rivalry at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. KU and Mizzou will meet for the 84th time in series history.
