Kansas University's men's basketball team will begin a two-year home-and-home series with Ohio State starting in the 2011-12 season. The Buckeyes would play at Allen Fieldhouse in 2011-12, with the Jayhawks returning the game in Columbus the following season.

KU will also appear in the Maui Invitational and play at USC in 2011. In the upcoming season, Kansas is scheduled to host Southern Cal on December 18th. KU also has marquee non-conference games with Memphis, Arizona, UCLA, Cal, and Michigan in 2010-2011.

The 2011-12 will likely be the first year of an 18-game conference schedule, as the 10-team Big 12 is expected to switch to a home and home, round robin format.
