Exhibition play is over and now it is time for the Kansas Jayhawks to get down to business.

Kansas, 21-0 in exhibition games under coach Bill Self, opens its season at home on Friday against the Hofstra Pride.

College basketball odds have not been released but you just know the Jayhawks will be double-digit favorites.

They dismantled Division II Pittsburgh State 103-45 on Tuesday night and their prize freshmen, Xavier Henry, Thomas Robinson and Elijah Johnson, are already playing better than expected.

The Pride has posted four 20-win seasons in the last five years and is poised this year to take a run at the CAA title, riding the wings of Charles Jenkins, voted co-Player of the Year with Old Dominion’s Gerald Lee.

Jenkins averaged 19.7 points a game last year to rank second to Eric Maynor in the conference and finished sixth to Maynor in assists. Jenkins also ranked among the top free throw shooters.
