NOTES
KU’s only meeting with the Kangaroos came on Dec. 12, 1992. The Jayhawks rolled, 108-62, in the Golden Harvest Classic in Kansas City’s Kemper Arena.
The Jayhawks are 9-3 all-time versus schools from the Mid-Continent Conference.
KU coach Roy Williams is 2-0 versus Mid-Con Conference squads, also topping Oral Roberts once.
Kansas is 183-94 all-time versus schools from the state of Missouri. Williams is 20-13 versus schools from the state of Missouri.
Kangaroo assistant coach Jason Ivey is familiar with KU’s Allen Fieldhouse. As a player for Temple, Ivey helped defeat the Jayhawks, 73-59, on Dec. 1, 1993. He logged 37 minutes, scored one point and grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds. Ivey later moved to 2-0 versus KU when unranked Temple beat the top-ranked Jayhawks, 74-66, at the Jimmy V Classic on Dec. 22, 1995. Ivey played 26 minutes in the game, scoring 10 points and grabbing nine boards.
UMKC freshman Brandon Lipsey was a high school teammate of Kansas redshirt freshman Jeff Hawkins at Sumner Academy in Kansas City.

He averaged 15.4 points per game and scored in double figures in 27 of 30 games. He’s scored in double figures in 59 or 64 career games. So far this year he’s averaging 12.6 points and 5.4 boards.
