|
| |  | 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. | | TCU: After going 2-16 in the Big 12 in their first year in conference, The Horned Frogs were winless last season (0-18), leaving them nowhere to go but up during the 2014-2015 campaign. SG Kyan Anderson (17 PPG, 4.5 APG, 41% threes) is one of the more underrated players in college basketball. Anderson can light it up at any given moment, despite the opponents knowing he is the No. 1 option. With other players around him getting another year under their belts, Anderson should be able to see more one-on-one opportunities. PF Amric Fields (13.1 PPG, 6.1 RPG) and C Karviar Shepherd (9.1 PPG, 6.8 RPG and 1.6 BPG) are both players capable of taking some of the scoring load off Anderson's back, but this school has a long ways to go before it reaches respectability in the Big 12. |

*Kansas-TCU Preview* ====================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Kansas (16-3) at TCU (14-5), 9:00 p.m. EDT
Kansas emerged from a four-game stretch against the Top 25 with a winning record, and the latest victory landed it back among the top 10.
The ninth-ranked Jayhawks now have what's as close to being considered a Big 12 break Wednesday night at TCU before returning to the meat of an exhausting conference schedule.
Kansas (16-3, 5-1 Big 12) was about as fundamentally sound as it gets in Saturday's 75-62 win at then-No. 17 Texas in which it committed three turnovers, something it hadn't done since 1966.
It also managed a 37-36 rebounding edge over a Longhorns team know for its size and owner of one of the country's top rebounding differentials at plus-11.4. In that regard, coach Bill Self compared Texas to Kentucky, which the Jayhawks fell to by 32 on Nov. 18.
"Against Kentucky, we shied away from it. Today we didn't," said Self, whose team has outrebounded five straight opponents by a plus-8.2 margin.
Cliff Alexander scored 15 points off the bench, and the freshman has posted two of his three top scoring efforts in the last two games after a 13-point performance in an 85-78 home win over then-No. 19 Oklahoma on Jan. 19. Fellow reserve Brannen Greene scored 14 on Saturday.
"This is a huge road win for us. It was big," said Greene, who made four of Kansas' six 3-pointers on five attempts and is 7 of 9 in the last two games.
Three-point shooting has been a strength all season for Kansas at a Big 12-best 39.4 percent, but TCU (14-5, 1-5) could test that. The Horned Frogs have held conference opponents to 25.3 percent, and one of their 19 overall foes has connected on more than six.
After completing its Texas trip, Kansas returns home for games against Kansas State and Iowa State, both of which are near the top of the league with the Jayhawks.
For TCU, there's no end in sight to the run of tough competition that's come after completing a 13-0 non-conference slate exclusively against unranked opponents. Saturday's 86-85 overtime loss at then-No. 18 West Virginia was the second in a seven-game string against currently ranked teams.
TCU, which totaled two Big 12 wins in its first two seasons in the league, went 5 of 6 from the field in the extra period but missed three free throws in the final minute. The Horned Frogs are shooting 59.3 percent from the foul line in conference play.
"We had opportunities from the free-throw line and we didn't get it done," said coach Trent Johnson, whose team was 28 of 44 from the line. "This is one thing about athletics that I really struggle with. These losses are really hard. We need to regroup."
Those struggles come despite TCU having the top foul shooter in the Big 12 in Kyan Anderson (89.2 percent), who was 7 for 7 on his way to 22 points against the Mountaineers. At 13.7 points per game, the senior guard is the only Frogs player averaging in double figures.
Kansas has won the last three meetings by an average of 26.0 points, including a 91-69 victory in Fort Worth on Jan. 25, 2014. The latest meeting was a 95-65 win in Lawrence on Feb. 15 behind a career-high 32 points from Perry Ellis on 13-of-15 shooting. Anderson had 25 and made 8 of 9.
After joining the Big 12, TCU won its first home matchup with then-No. 5 Kansas 62-55 on Feb. 6, 2013. It stands as the school's only victory against the Top 25 in its last 18 tries.
