For the first time this season, the Kansas men’s basketball team is going on the road. That seems like a strange statement to make given that KU has already played four neutral-site games and even took on Illinois in Champaign for a charity exhibition prior to the season. But it’s true: Saturday’s clash with Indiana in Bloomington, 11:30 a.m. Central Time in Assembly Hall, will be the Jayhawks’ first ...
