Easy wins

While the exhibition and cupcake games are also considered easy wins for the Jayhawks, Kansas will play four teams that come from Power 5 conference this season that shouldn’t stand a chance against Bill Self and Co.

The Washington Huskies (December 6) in Kansas City, Arizona State Sun Devils (December 10) at home, the Nebraska Cornhuskers (December 16) in the Shelter Insurance Showcase in Nebraska, and the Stanford Cardinal (December 21) away round out the “easy wins” for Kansas. All four likely have zero shot at making the 2018 NCAA Tournament, but will still be fun to watch as the Big 12 powerhouse that is Kansas rolls over teams from the Big Ten and Pac-12.
