16TCU AT #15/18 KANSAS Lawrence, Kan. • Allen FieldhouseThursday, January 28, 2021 • 7 p.m. (CT)

• No. 15/18 Kansas (10-5, 4-4) returns home after a three-game road stretch to host TCU (9-5, 2-4) on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m., on Big 12 NOW on ESPN+. Ted Emrich and Lance Blanks will call the action.

• Kansas leads the Big 12 in blocked shots at 4.33 per game and ranks in the upper half of 10 conference statistical categories.

• Kansas enters the TCU contest No. 4 in NET strength of schedule, which is first in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have led NCAA Division I in NET SOS each of the last two seasons and five times under head coach Bill Self (2005, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2020).

• Junior Ochai Agbaji is second in the Big 12 in 3-point field goals made per game at 2.7 and is second in 3-point field goal percentage at 43.2%. Agbaji has made 28 threes in his last nine games.

• With the consecutive weeks being ranked at 230, which is an NCAA record, the Kansas-TCU contest will be the 418th-straight game KU will play as a ranked team, a streak which started Feb. 2, 2009.

• Kansas is 98-15 following a loss in the Bill Self era, which started in 2003-04, including 2-2 this season and 3-0 in 2019-20. Incredibly, KU has been even more efficient over the last six-plus seasons, amassing a record of 47-7 after losses. This includes an 8-1 mark in 2018-19.

• Kansas posted a 3.44 grade point average in the fall 2020, which is the highest semester GPA in the Bill Self era that began in 2003-04. The 3.44 GPA surpassed the 3.31 set in spring 2020.

• This season, Kansas men’s basketball will be wearing a patch that reads “UNITED WE STAND” signifying its stance on the recent social injustice in the United States. The patch has gold lettering with the black background being in the shape of the state of Kansas.

• It’s Suits and Sneakers Week, a Coaches vs. Cancer initiative that supports the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission.

2021 SIGNING CLASS UPDATEZACH CLEMENCEF | 6-10 | 215 | San Antonio (Sunrise Christian Academy [Kan.])Rivals.com: #31 | 247Sports: #34 | ESPN100: #43BILL SELF ON CLEMENCE:“Zach is a 6-foot-10 youngster that can really shoot the ball. We haven’t had anybody here like Zach that is truly a four that can maybe be the best shooter in a game. He’s having a great high school career at Sunrise Christian. He’s from San Antonio originally and is very well drilled. I anticipate him coming in and being able to play multiple positions on the perimeter and if we decide to go really small he would be a nightmare-type matchup for five men. He’s got a chance to be an impact player that we will be counting on for sure.”

KJ ADAMSF | 6-7 | 200 | Austin, Texas (Westlake HS)ESPN100: #54 | 247Sports: #74 | Rivals.com: #85BILL SELF ON ADAMS:“KJ is a jack of all trades. I think KJ is a big guard that can play inside. He’s definitely strong enough. He’s a physically gifted youngster that can defend the five too. KJ is a guy that can play with the ball in his hands. He can play without the ball. He can be an tremendous physical presence in the game and certainly he is well beyond his years in that regard. I look forward to coaching is versatility.”

THIS DAY IN

KANSAS BASKETBALLHISTORY

JANUARY Jan. 28, 1996: Freshman forward Paul Pierce led the Jayhawks to an 88-73 victory at Nebraska. Pierce scored a game-high 25 points and sophomore forward Raef LaFrentz notched a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Junior guards Jacque Vaughn and Jerod Haase also scored in double figures with 12 and 15 points, respectively. Kansas coach Roy Williams earned his 200th-career victory in just his 252nd game to become the fifth-fastest coach in NCAA history to earn his 200th victory. The Jayhawks finished the season with a 12-2 record in the Big Eight Conference and a 29-5 record overall.

28Kansas is 16-4 all-time on Jan. 28

WINNING THE BIG 12 NO CAKEWALKIf you think KU’s success in the Big 12 is due to playing in a non-competitive conference, think again. The stats show that this is anything but the case. Over the last 17 seasons, the Big 12 has proven to be one of the toughest leagues in the NCAA, making KU’s run of 15 league titles since 2004 even more impressive.

Beginning in the 2003-04 season, the Big 12 has ranked as the nation’s No. 1 conference in the RPI/NET rankings six times and in the top-three on 11 occasions. Last season, the league trended in the same direction as it ended as the second-highest rated league in the NET rankings.

The stoutness of the conference is also highlighted by KU’s strength of schedule during this stretch, which has been among the toughest every season. The Jayhawks posted a top-10 strength of schedule 10 times in Bill Self’s 17 years at KU, which includes the nation’s strongest schedule five times, including 2019-20.
