• Kansas will face Kentucky in the State Farm Champions Classic at United Center in Chicago. The event started in 2011 and KU is 2-4 in the event with both wins against Duke.

• Last year, Kansas pulled a first by defeating all three Champions Classic participants. The Jayhawks defeated Duke, 77-75, in the actual Champions Classic, Kentucky, 79-73, in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and Michigan State, 90-70, in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

• With Bill Self being enshrined in the 2017 class of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, all four coaches in the Champions Classic have been inducted into the Hall.

• These are the top-two winningest programs in NCAA Division I college basketball with Kentucky first at 2,239 wins and Kansas second at 2,218 victories. The blue-blood programs have also combined for 31 Final Fours with Kentucky at 17 and Kansas at 14.

• KU head coach Bill Self was a graduate assistant at Kansas under Larry Brown in 1985-86. Kentucky coach John Calipari was an assistant coach at Kansas from 1982-85.

• KU leads the NCAA in conference men’s basketball titles with 60, including the last 13-straight Big 12 titles. Kentucky is second with 48 SEC titles.

• Both schools’ facilities are named after Kansas greats. Kentucky’s Rupp Arena is named after Adolph Rupp, a KU graduate who played at Kansas in 1923 under coach F.C. “Phog” Allen, of which Allen Fieldhouse is named.

• KU senior Devonte’ Graham is KU’s top returning scorer (13.4 ppg) and was selected as the Big 12’s Preseason Player of the Year. He was also named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team and was joined on the list by senior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and redshirt-sophomore guard Malik Newman.

• Kansas head coach Bill Self is one win from tying Roy Williams for second on the all-time win list for KU coaches. Self is 417-88, while Williams was 418-101 in 15 seasons from 1989-2003. Phog Allen is No. 1 at 590-219.

2017-18 QUICK FACTS

ABOUT KANSASKansas opened the 2017-18 season with a 92-56 win against Tennessee State on Nov. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse. Junior guard Lagerald Vick led KU with 23 points while senior guard Devonte’ Graham and freshman guard Marcus Garrett each recorded double-doubles. Graham had 10 points and a career-high 12 assists, while in his college debut, Graham had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Kansas returns two starters and six letterwinners from last season’s 31-5 team, which won the Big 12 race with a 16-2 conference record. Graham and senior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk return as regular starters. Mykhailiuk had 15 points in the opener against Tennessee State (11/10). Lagerald Vick was also in the rotation last season with six starts. Sophomore center Udoka Azubuike, who had 13 points and six rebounds in the opener, had six starts in his 11 games played before an injury ended his 2016-17 season.

Expect to see returning sophomore forward Mitch Lightfoot’s minutes increase. He averaged 3.9 minutes last season and logged 17 in the opener to go along with six points and five rebounds. Sophomore guard Malik Newman, who sat out last year after transferring from Mississippi State, had 12 points and four rebounds versus Tennessee State. Look for freshman forward Bill Preston, a 2017 McDonald’s All-American, to also play a significant role this season. Preston missed the Tennessee State contest.

Graham is the 2017-18 Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, as selected by the league coaches, while Newman is the league’s preseason newcomer of the year. Graham was a preseason all-conference first-team selection and Newman and Mykhailiuk were on the preseason league honorable mention team. Additionally, Graham is one of 20 listed on the preseason Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Watch List and one of 32 on

The Wildcats are coached by former Kansas assistant John Calipari who is 251-53 in his ninth season at UK and 654-191 in his 26th season overall. Preseason ranked No. 4 in the USA TODAY Coaches and No. 5 in the Associated Press polls, UK returns one starter and six letterwinners from last season’s 32-6 team which won the SEC with a 16-2 league record.

Kentucky is young with 12 players listed as freshmen or sophomores. Through two games the Wildcats hold a 7.0 scoring margin, averaging 73.0 points per game. UK is outrebounding foes 37.0 to 33.0 for a plus-4.0 margin. Redshirt-freshman guard Hamidou Diallo leads the team in scoring at 17.0 points per game. He has made a team-high three 3-pointers. Sophomore forward Wenyen Gabriel comes off the bench and leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game. He also has a team-high four blocked shots in two games and is averaging 4.5 points per game. Freshman forward Kevin Knox is second in scoring (11.5 ppg), rebounding (7.0 rpg) and with four steals. Freshman forward P.J. Washington scores 11.0 points per contest, while freshman guard Quade Green scores 9.5 points per game. Freshman guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a team-high seven assists and six steals through two games. He averages 8.5 points per contest.

THE SERIESKentucky leads the all-time series with Kansas, 22-8, and this will be the fourth-straight season these two teams have met and the sixth time since 2011-12. Kansas has won the last two meetings with both being part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge: 90-84 overtime in 2016 in Allen Fieldhouse and 79-73 in 2017 at Rupp Arena. In 2011-12, the two teams met twice with Kentucky claiming both wins: 75-65 in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden and 67-59 in the NCAA title game in New Orleans. On Nov. 18, 2014, then-No. 1 Kentucky defeated Kansas 72-40 in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis.

Joining Self in the evening’s enshrinement festivities were the other 10 Class of 2017 inductees: Zack Clayton (player, posthumous), Nick Galis (player), Robert Hughes (coach), Mannie Jackson (contributor), Tom Jernstedt (contributor), Jerry Krause (contributor, posthumous), Tracy McGrady (player), Rebecca Lobo (contributor), George McGinnis (player) and Muffet McGraw (coach).

Self becomes the 19th person associated with Kansas basketball to be inducted, the last being coaching legend John McClendon, who was inducted in 2016 for the second time. As only the eighth coach in KU history, Self is the fifth KU mentor to be inducted into Hall joining James Naismith, Dr. F.C. “Phog” Allen, Larry Brown and Roy Williams. Kansas has the highest percentage of coaches in the Hall of Fame, 63 percent, than any other school. KU’s five matches North Carolina’s five for the most inducted in college coaching with St. John’s third with four.

FROM DOWNTOWNIn 2016-17, Kansas made a single-season record 318 3-pointers, besting the previous school-record mark of 304 treys from just one season earlier. In both years, the Jayhawks shot better than 40 percent from beyond the arc.

CONFERENCE SUCCESSIncluding 2016-17, Kansas has won 17 of the 21 Big 12 regular-season titles (includes ties), including the last 13, which is tied for the NCAA record. Kansas’ 60 conference titles are the most in NCAA Division I. Kentucky is second with 54 and Penn third at 37. KU’s 13-straight league titles are the longest active streak in NCAA Division I and the longest streak in school history. Kansas is now tied with UCLA, which from 1967-79, also won the NCAA record of 13 straight, which was under two coaches. Kansas’ current run has been under head coach Bill Self.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN 2017-18• Bill Self needs just two more wins to move to No. 2 on

Kansas’ all-time wins list. Self, enters the season with 416 victories as the head coach at KU. Roy Williams amassed 418 wins in his 15 seasons in Lawrence. Phog Allen is the Jayhawks’ all-time wins leader, tallying 590 victories in his 39 seasons.

• With a 247-48 (83.7 percent) record since 2010, Kansas is the winningest program, by percentage, this decade: 1. KANSAS (247-48, 83.7%); 2. Gonzaga (239-47, 83.6%); 3. Kentucky (249-53, 82.5%); 4. Wichita State (233-53, 81.7); 5. Duke (238-56, 81.0%).

• The Jayhawks are pursuing their 14th-conseuctive Big 12 regular-season championship. A 14th-league title would break UCLA’s NCAA record mark of 13-consecutive conference championships from 1967-79.

• Should Kansas advance to the 2018 NCAA Tournament it would be its 29th-consecutive NCAA tourney appearance. The current 28 straight is the NCAA Tournament longest consecutive appearance streak with North Carolina (1975-2001) second at 27.

• Senior G Devonte’ Graham ranks seventh on KU’s career 3-point field goal list, currently with 186 career 3-pointers. Jeff Boschee holds the school record at 338-career treys and Billy Thomas is second with 269.

• Graham also enters the season at 45th on KU’s career points list with 1,075. If he maintains his career average (10.4 ppg) for the regular season, he would reach approximately 1,400 career points, which would move him near the top-25 of KU’s all-time scorers.

JAYHAWKS TAKE PART IN SHOWDOWN FOR RELIEFThe Showdown for Relief, the Oct. 22 charity exhibition basketball game between the universities of Kansas and Missouri at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri, generated $2.011 million for victims of recent natural disasters in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kansas won the exhibition, 93-87. The donations are a combination of ticket sales ($1.15 million), the Pay-per-View stream ($768,000) and text-to-give contributions ($68,000). Donations from other entities totaled approximately $25,000, bringing the total donation to some $2.011 million. The funds will be directed to “One America Appeal for Hurricane Relief,” a joint appeal launched by all five living former U.S. Presidents. The following organizations will benefit from the game: the Houston Harvey Relief Fund, the Rebuild Texas Fund, the Florida Disaster Fund, Unidos Por Puerto Rico and the Fund for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

On the floor the old conference rivals did not upset the capacity crowd of 18,951 in the first KU-MU battle since 2012. Kansas built an eight-point lead, 27-19, midway through the first half behind five 3-pointers from senior Devonte’ Graham. Graham ended the contest with 25 points and 10 rebounds, all defensive. He was one of five Jayhawks in double figures for the game along with sophomore guard Malik Newman with 17 points, sophomore center Udoka Azubuike with 16, junior guard Lagerald Vick with 13 and freshman forward Billy Preston with 12.

BIG 12 RUN NO CAKEWALKKansas ended 2016-17 ranked No. 4 in the NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI) and its strength of schedule was 19th nationally. In Self’s first 14 seasons, KU has ranked fifth or higher in the final RPI 10 times, including each of the last eight years.

NOTES • Bill Self was named the eighth coach in Kansas basketball history on April 21, 2003. • In September 2017, Self was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in

Springfield, Massachusetts.• Self won his 600th career game on Dec. 6, 2016, with KU’s 105-62 win against UMKC. He

became the 46th coach in NCAA Division I to accomplish the feat and the ninth fastest.• While at Kansas, Self has won a national championship, a KU- and NCAA-tying-record

13-straight regular-season Big 12 Conference titles and seven league tournament championships.

• At Kansas, Self has won more regular-season league titles (13) than has home losses (10) in Allen Fieldhouse. With KU’s win versus Siena (11/18/16), Self became the winningest coach in Allen Fieldhouse, posting his 207th victory in the venue.

• In his first trip to the Final Four in 2008, Self’s team won the title. Self is one of 11 active coaches in NCAA Division I to have won a national title. Kansas’ 13-straight conference titles (2005-16) is tied for the longest streak in NCAA Division I history.

• In Self’s 14 seasons at Kansas, he has coached 11 NBA Lottery selections including Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid, the No. 1 and No. 3 overall selections in the 2014 NBA Draft. Wiggins was the second-ever Jayhawk to go No. 1 with the other being Danny Manning in 1988.

• Self has guided his teams to 19-straight 23-win seasons dating back to 1998-99. • Self’s teams have won 17 league crowns in the last 19 years, including the 2017 title. The

other two seasons resulted in runner-up conference finishes.• Kansas’ four-straight 30-win seasons from 2009-10 to 2012-13 are the most consecutive

30-win seasons in NCAA history (note: Memphis did it from 2006-09 yet later vacated the 2008 season).
