LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is headed to Italy for four exhibition games in Rome and Milan. The trip allowed by the NCAA every four years comes at an opportune time. The Jayhawks must attempt to replace four key contributors from last year's Big 12 championship team. They have six new players who will be heavily counted upon in years to come.
