Kansas-Nebraska series renewed

Markieff Morris (21) hooks a shot over Nebraska defender Andre Almeida (32) during the first half Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011 at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Neb.

Kansas University and Nebraska will meet in men’s basketball next Dec. 10 in Allen Fieldhouse, KU officials confirmed Tuesday.

The Jayhawks will return the trip to NU on Dec. 16, 2017. KU leads the all-time series, 170-71.

Next year’s game will mark the return of former KU guard Andrew White III to Lawrence. The 6-foot-7 junior from Richmond, Va., who transferred to NU after two seasons at KU, told the Lincoln Journal-Star he’ll need to “take a chill pill before that one.”

White, who sat out last season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules, is averaging a team-leading 17.1 points and 6.1 rebounds for (14-15) NU. KU schedule maker Larry Keating told the Journal-World next season’s game at UNLV will be on Dec. 22 at Thomas and Mack Center.

Postseason garb: KU’s athletic department and adidas on Tuesday unveiled the 2016 “Made in March” uniform collection the Jayhawks will wear during the postseason.

The uniforms, according to a release, “incorporate a soundwave pattern along the waistband as a nod to Allen Fieldhouse’s unparalleled home-court advantage. The uniforms are designed in Kansas’ classic blue, white and crimson tones with a terrycloth Jayhawk logo for sweat management.”

Mason tweet: KU’s Frank Mason III on Monday night responded to ESPN announcer Fran Fraschilla’s recent ranking of Mason as sixth best point guard in the Big 12. Mason tweeted: “‘6th best PG in the Big 12’ but what is my team?”

Tourney talk: As No. 1 seed, KU will play in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals at 1:30 p.m., Thursday, March 10, against a yet-to-be determined opponent. If KU wins, it would play in a 6 p.m., semifinal, March 11. Finals are 5 p.m., March 12.

Ferguson update: Terrance Ferguson, a 6-6 senior guard from Advanced Prep International in Dallas who committed to Alabama in November, has re-opened his recruiting. ESPN.com says the McDonald’s All-American who is ranked No. 12 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, is considering Kansas, Baylor, Arizona, Maryland, Texas and Alabama.

Coleby recovering: Dwight Coleby, KU’s 6-9 junior-to-be from the Bahamas, who is sitting out the season rehabbing from ACL surgery, is able to run at this time, Self said on Tuesday’s Hawk Talk radio show. “We think there’s no reason he can’t be full contact by the time summer starts. He’s doing well,” Self said. A transfer from Ole Miss, Coleby, even if healthy, would have had to sit out this season because of transfer rules.
