| |  | TENNESSEE: The Volunteers were so close to making it to the Elite Eight last year, losing by only two points to Michigan in the Sweet 16. But after losing four players that combined for 51.0 PPG, Tennessee is now in rebuilding mode with Donnie Tyndall as the new head coach. Tyndall does have a potential star in the making in swingman Josh Richardson (10.3 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 79% FT). Richardson averaged 19.3 PPG on 62% FG in three NCAA Tournament games, showing he is ready to become the No. 1 scoring threat on the team. This is a team with a lot of question marks, as freshmen like PF Tariq Owens and SF Willie Carmichael will be asked to provide the team with some scoring pop. The same goes for sophomore SG Robert Hubbs III (5.0 PPG) who shot a miserable 28% threes as a freshman before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Now fully healthy, the team will count on Hubbs to provide some much needed long-range shooting. | | KANSAS: The Jayhawks lost the No. 1 and No. 3 picks in the 2014 NBA draft, but once again have the talent to win the Big 12 and contend for a national title. Junior PF Perry Ellis (13.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 55% FG, 47% threes) is the top returning player for the Jayhawks, giving the team a proven veteran. Ellis is a polished of scorer on the block, but he also has the ability to step out and hit the 18-foot jump shot. SG Wayne Selden Jr. (9.7 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.5 APG) had a solid freshman season, but will be asked to assume a greater scoring load with Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid gone. Last season, Selden battled ankle injuries, and should be much more explosive in the 2014-15 campaign. The freshman duo of PF Cliff Alexander and swingman Kelly Oubre should both make immediate impacts for the Jayhawks. Alexander has the looks of a pro with his 6-foot-8, 240-pound frame, as he will be as strong of player as there is in the conference. He is still raw with his post moves, but his motor and rebounding should make him a double-double machine. Oubre will remind Jayhawks fans of Keith Langford, as a smooth-shooting lefty with the ability to finish off the bounce. PF Jamari Traylor (4.8 PPG, 4.1 RPG in 16.1 MPG) and PG Frank Mason (5.5 PPG and 2.1 APG in 16.2 MPG) are two players the Jayhawks will look to give them more meaningful minutes, especially early in the season as the freshman get acclimated to the college game. |

*Tennessee-Kansas Preview* ==========================
Tennessee (1-1) at Kansas (2-1), 12:00 p.m. EDT
Kansas coach Bill Self says that patience is a reason his team has worked through some early shooting woes.
Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall is wondering what he can do to get his team off to a better start.
The No. 11 Jayhawks and Volunteers meet for the third time in their history Friday with a spot in the Orlando Classic championship on the line.
Kansas (3-1) shot 30.3 percent in its first two games before heating up to connect at 53.3 in winning its last two. Four Jayhawks scored in double figures in Thursday's 76-60 win over Rhode Island.
"There's a maturation process that has to take place with everybody," Self said. "And some things you can't force feed, it's gotta kinda play out."
The improved offense may be the result of back-to-back 17-point efforts from Perry Ellis, who has made 10 of 16 shots in that span after going 5 of 13 for a total of 17 points in his first two games.
"I think Perry is playing with more aggression without question," Self said.
Ellis had 11 points in the opening 20 minutes to help Kansas cruise to a 43-25 halftime lead. The Jayhawks went ahead 31-11 with just over 6 minutes left before intermission on Ellis' rebound slam.
"I just tried to keep attacking, that's what coach is consistently telling me," Ellis said.
The last two games have also featured the first starts for freshman Ukrainian guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who was held scoreless Thursday.
"We start five guys but I'm not sure that really means much because I think we could probably start seven or eight guys when guys are playing well," Self said.
Tennessee (2-1) has outscored foes by an average of 8.0 points in second halves. The problem is that the Volunteers have been outscored by an average of 7.0 in the first half, rallying from a three-point halftime deficit in Thursday's 64-57 win over Santa Clara.
"I don't know what we can do to start out games better," Tyndall said. "I talked to my assistants today and they said we had a great warmup so I thought that we were excited and ready to go."
Josh Richardson and Armani Moore each had 18 points, with Richardson scoring 12 in the second half. The Volunteers held the Broncos to 33.3 percent shooting after halftime, a vast improvement from allowing them to make 7 of 13 shots in the first half.
"It was most important to start the second half right," Tyndall said. "They dug in and defensed the right way."
Tennessee continues to be foul-prone. The Vols entered play Thursday last in college basketball with an average of 28.0 fouls and committed 23 more that led to 29 free throws, with Kevin Punter becoming the fourth different Tennessee player to foul out this season.
This tournament is a homecoming for two Vols frontcourt starters, Derek Reese and Willie Carmichael III. Reese is from Orlando and Carmichael from nearby Apopka - they combined for only four points and eight rebounds Thursday.
These schools split their only meetings in 2009 and 2010.
