The Big Ten has to put out the conference schedule out first. The first Big Ten game is generally included in a pack so until the league decides to release their schedule (they are already a week later than last yr doing it) they cannot put the pack of games on holiday break (which includes Kansas) on sale. 

They cannot put single game tickets on sale for those holiday games until they sell the packs first which can't be done until schedule is out as described above. In other words until the Big Ten puts the schedule out the Kansas tickets cannot be put on sale.

Ahhhhh. Much appreciated. Totally forgot this game will be a part of a package.

Question for those in the know, for the last couple years, I have purchased the mini series tickets on Monday of this week. Has anyone heard of when they will be available this year? I stayed up after midnight last night thinking they would be available and I haven't even seen an article about them this year.

Edit: maybe I should learn to read previous posts that contain my answer!

Maybe it's just me, but CJ Gunn looks tall... Ware is very tall. Newton looks short.. and like a safety.

Uh, Mgbako looks really tall. Like, every bit as tall as Reneau and Sparks tall.

This front court has the potential to be incredible. Potential is huge.  Guards and guard depth really concern me with this team. But 3-5 has so many options and flexibility.

Woody’s full presser today.

If Walker is 6’9” as listed, then Ware is 7’5” and there’s a bunch of 6’11 forwards on this team. (answer—Walker is not 6’9”)

Definitely like 6-7. But that means Mgbako is like 6-9 or 6-10.

During media day interviews, numerous players named "Coach Stump" as an influence over the summer. Thought that might be a nickname, but it's not and Mike Stump has a really nice background. A staff name to watch for:

Agreed. Really need the top of the rotation to stay healthy through the season. X’s health is imperative. We have to have a top guard to go anywhere. When he’s healthy and locked in, he’s as good as any PG out there. 
 

Excited for the season. The front court has a chance to be elite.

How much do you enjoy the day in and day out process of being a college coach?

"I enjoy the s--- out of it."

Absolutely, not buying Newton @ 6'3" either.

Fanta is a low key IU/Mike Woodson fan. I think Dauster is as well. I enjoy listening to the Field guys

This is a classic genre of rothstein tweet, just randomly generating something true for engagement
