• Radio announcers: Brian Hanni (play-by-play)
• This season: Kansas already has two losses on the year after falling to top opponents North Carolina and Duke in November. The Jayhawks' grueling slate continues this week, as they will compete in three games in as many days, with the guaranteed opponents being Notre Dame and Syracuse. Notre Dame has beat up on a few bad mid-major schools, but its only loss came in a tight matchup with Ohio State. The Fighting Irish have wins over LIU, Detroit Mercy, Eastern Illinois, and Bellarmine.
• Series history: Notre Dame holds the edge in the all-time series with an impressive 9-3 record. The series began back in 1928, and the last time these two schools faced off was on Jan. 23, 1988, in South Bend.

Meet the Coaches

• Micah Shrewsberry, Notre Dame: Shrewsberry is in his third year in South Bend after previously spending two years at Penn State. The 49-year-old holds a 32-39 record with the Fighting Irish and is coming off consecutive sub-.500 seasons. The program still has faith in him and is being patient amid the rebuilding process.
• Bill Self, Kansas: One of the game's greatest coaches, this will surprisingly be the first time Self has ever coached against Notre Dame during his tenure at Kansas. In fact, Larry Brown was at the helm the last time they played.
