Jan. 2 — Temple It was the first game the Jayhawks took on a ranked opponent. It couldn't have been more impressive. The Morris twins returned home to combine for 18 points and crush then No.18 Temple 84-52. Marcus Morris even had a nice one-handed dunk to show off for his home crowd.
In the Jayhawks' first regular season game, freshman Xavier Henry made his presence known by scoring 27 points and Kansas won 101- 65. Sherron Collins scored 23 points, but more importantly, the game showed that he and Cole Aldrich would have help for the rest of the season.

This was the first game the Jayhawks became complete, with Jeff Withey eligible to play because of transfer rules and Brady Morningstar returning from suspension. The Jayhawks had a tough challenge from the Wolverines, a team they had never beaten. They looked good for the most part, but let Michigan keep coming back before holding on for a 75-64 victory.

Jan. 10 — Tennessee
The Jayhawks came into to the game expecting a depleted Volunteer team that had just suspended four solid players. What they got was a season-first: a loss. Tennessee couldn't miss a shot on its way to a 76-68 win and the players seemed to just want it more than Kansas did. This was the most hostile away crowd before the Jayhawks traveled to Manhattan.
