For the first time in over seven months, the Kansas basketball team will finally partake in a regular season game tomorrow against the Fordham Rams. Jayhawk fans have already gotten their fare share of KU basketball in recent weeks during the preseason, but there will actually be games that count starting this week.

Unfortunately, this contest won't be broadcast on national TV since it isn't versus a marquee opponent. However, fans will still be able to tune in on select streaming services. Here's all the information you should know if you're interested in watching the season opener.
