Game Primer: How To Watch, Things To Know for Kansas vs Chaminade

The Kansas Jayhawks are in Hawaii for their annual holiday tournament during the Thanksgiving week, and it comes in an absolutely loaded Maui Invitational field. With potential games against UCLA or Marquette, followed by a likely battle against Tennessee or Purdue, there are plenty of fireworks to come. But up first are the hosts of the event, the Chaminade Silverswords.

Kansas continues to be ranked #1 in both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. They have been in the top 10 of the AP Poll in each of the last 41 polls, including the one released today. Division II Chaminade is not ranked in their poll.

Kansas leads the overall series 4-0, with all four games coming in the Maui Invitational. The last meeting was a 96-63 victory as part of the 2019 Maui Invitational.
