Kansas coach Bill Self expects freshman Billy Preston to play Tuesday when No. 4 KU takes on fifth-ranked Kentucky at the Champions Classic in Chicago.
Preston, a 6-foot-10 forward, sat out the Jayhawks’ season opener after he was suspended for missing both curfew and class.
“He had a great attitude (since Friday), but certainly, I think that we’ve still got a full day tomorrow,” Self said. “I’m certainly anticipating there being no issues, but I don’t want to positively say one way or another until I actually know for a fact.”
Without Preston, KU was forced to play with only two scholarship big men in a 92-56 victory over Tennessee State.
