ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville men's basketball team will face the No. 5 ranked Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse this Friday night beginning at 8:00 p.m. (7 PM CT)


NOTABLES

Last Time Out:  Asheville is coming off a thrilling 64-58 mid-week victory over Furman on the road.  Freshman guard, MaCio Teague had a very strong performance for the Bulldogs, having a career night, setting career highs in both points (22) and steals (4).

Off to a Strong Start:  With the Bulldogs' mid-week triumph, they achieved a 3-2 start for the first time since the 2007-08 season.

Head to Head:  Asheville trails Kansas in the head to head series, 0-3.  The Bulldogs have never faced a Bill Self coached team.  The last two times Asheville played Kansas in a season the Bulldogs went on to win the Big South regular season championship in one of the years, and won the conference tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history the other time.  Asheville is seeking their first win against the Big 12 as they hold a 0-10 record against the conference.

Scouting Kansas:  Kansas has won four straight after dropping the season opener in overtime to Indiana in the State Farm Armed Forces Classic.  The Jayhawks have downed No. 1 ranked Duke and two familiar opponents to the Bulldogs, Sienna and Georgia.
