LAWRENCE, Kan. — Two of college basketball’s blue bloods announced Tuesday they’ll meet on campus for two showdowns over the next couple of seasons.
The home-and-home series between Kansas and Indiana tips off Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022 when the Jayhawks host the Hoosiers at Allen Fieldhouse.
“We haven’t played Indiana in Lawrence since the mid-1990s,” Jayhawks head coach Bill Self stated in a news release. “To be at Kansas and have Indiana on the schedule, two blue bloods going after it will certainly be a game that has a national interest.”
