In a program sponsored by Kansas University’s Confucius Institute, the Jayhawks men’s basketball game on Tuesday will be broadcast in Chinese and streamed on the Kansas Athletics Web site, http://kuathletics.cstv.com.
Announcers Zhiqun “James” Liang and Sheree Willis will call the action as KU takes on Dartmouth live from Allen Fieldhouse. Tip off is at 7 p.m.
Students from Liang’s alma mater will gather in Wuhan, China, to listen to the broadcast. And KU students and faculty will gather at the Plum Tree Chinese restaurant, 2620 Iowa St. A listening party in the Kansas City area also is planned.
The Institute also will produce a glossary of basketball terms in Chinese and English for Chinese language students.
