Kansas City, Mo. — Growing up with a father who played center at Oregon, Kansas senior big man Landen Lucas has seen a lot of Ducks games in his time.
The Portland, Ore., native said it will be strange to battle against a program he has long admired with a spot in the Final Four on the line Saturday night at Sprint Center.
“I mean, just seeing the Oregon colors and the O and everything that was such a big part of my childhood and growing up,” Lucas said, “and now to be going out there with so much on the line — my college career on the line, a Final Four on the line — against that team, it’s exciting for me and I’m sure that it’ll be exciting.”
