Kansas Late Night in the Phog 2024: Schedule, time, TV channel, live stream to watch KU basketball event

For the second consecutive year, Kansas is the No. 1 team in the country in the preseason men's AP top 25 poll .

And there is good reason behind the Jayhawks' hype. Center Hunter Dickinson, the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, leads a core nucleus of returning players. The group also includes guard Dajuan Harris Jr., the reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, and forward KJ Adams Jr., last season's Big 12 Most Improved Player.

Last year, Kansas battled through injuries and inconsistency, but the Jayhawks still managed to punch their ticket to another NCAA Tournament. We'll get our first look at Bill Self's talented squad on Friday night with the 40th edition of "Late Night in the Phog."

Here is everything that you need to know about watching the special event.
