The defending national champions are ready to hit the court.

It won't count toward its regular season record, but on Thursday, Kansas basketball hosts Pittsburg State in an exhibition contest. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 pm CT. Fans can stream the contest with Big 12 Now, part of ESPN+.

Last time fans watched the Jayhawks, they were cutting down nets in confetti. Kansas returns starters Dajuan Harris Jr. and Jalen Wilson from the squad that toppled North Carolina in the national championship game. There are a few new faces along the roster, including Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar, five-star freshman Gradey Dick and four-star freshman MJ Rice.

Meanwhile, Pittsburg State hopes to avoid a fourth consecutive losing season. The Gorillas finished 8-20 last season − their fewest wins since tallying five victories during the 2016-17 season.

Here's everything Jayhawk fans need to know in order to watch Kansas' exhibition game against Pittsburg State on Thursday.
