Little to play against Kansas State, will not red-shirt this season

Kansas junior Mario Little will play in Tuesday night’s Kansas-Kansas State game and will not take a medical red-shirt this season, KU coach Bill Self said Tuesday morning.

“He’s going to play,” Self said. “We spoke to him this morning. He slept on it and (the stress fracture in his left leg) felt good today. It feels good and he wants to play.”

X-rays showed no additional problems. Self said he would discuss the matter more after Tuesday night’s game against Kansas State.
