Remainder of schedule released for 2007-08

By Dylan Schoonover

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

The men’s basketball schedule is set for the 2007-2008 season and features a home game against Arizona on Nov. 25.

The Jayhawks will face a tough non-conference road schedule with visits to USC, Boston College and Georgia Tech. In a home-and-home commitment, the Jayhawks will have the opportunity to avenge last year’s loss to DePaul when they face the Blue Demons on Dec. 8 at Allen Fieldhouse.

The second game of the season against the University of Missouri-Kansas City will be the first game of the Jayhawk Invitational. The tournament will feature six schools in a round-robin format that concludes Nov. 25 when the Jayhawks face the Arizona Wildcats. The Jayhawks have not fared well against the Wildcats in recent years. Most recently in 2005, the team lost to the Wildcats at the Maui Invitational 61-49. In 2003, the Jayhawks blew a 20-point lead and snapped a 25-game home winning streak when the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence 91-74. This year’s match-up will also be part of the first installment of the Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge. Every team from both conferences will square off in the challenge with two Pac-10 schools playing twice.

A change to this year’s schedule is the absence of a game at Kemper Arena. With the completion of the Sprint Center in October, the Jayhawks Dec. 15 game against Ohio University will be moved into the new arena. The Sprint Center will also be home to the Big 12 Championship March 13-16 in Kansas City, Mo.
