One of KU’s final nonconference games could be one of the best to watch. While Indiana is in for some regression after losing Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino, Mike Woodson’s unit should still be a competitive school in the Big Ten.

Playing a road game when you’re Kansas is tough. Everybody views you as the main attraction, and there is always a target on your back. That should be no exception when the Jayhawks travel to Assembly Hall in Bloomington, formerly among the rowdiest places in the sport.

To make things more interesting, KU lost the recruiting battle between them and the Hoosiers for 5-star recruit Mackenzie Mgbako, a dynamic that could certainly play into this game.
