Kansas heads to Miami to meet up with Syracuse in the final game of the HoopHall Miami Invitational.

Kansas (6-0, 0-0) is currently ranked #2 in the AP Poll and #2 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Syracuse (6-0, 0-0) is unranked.

Officially, Boeheim is is 909-357 in his 42nd season with the Orange after the NCAA stripped 108 wins from his record.

Syracuse leads the overall series with Kansas 3-2, and has won the two most recent meetings, in 2008 and 2003.
