While freshman forward Cheick Diallo will get to make the trip west for the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, one of his teammates will not.

Friday morning head coach Bill Self announced that junior wing Brannen Greene has been suspended six games for “conduct detrimental to the team.” That rules him out for the Jayhawks’ three games in Maui, beginning with their matchup with hosts Chaminade on Monday.

Greene will be allowed to practice with the team upon their return, but he’ll miss games against Loyola (MD), Harvard and Holy Cross. The first game Greene, who’s averaging 12.0 points per game and hasn’t missed a shot from the field (6-for-6 FG, 5-for-5 3PT), will be available for is the Jayhawks’ game against Oregon State December 12.

Not having Greene in Maui means that Kansas will be short a perimeter shooter, which is important when considering the fact that Wayne Selden Jr. is 5-for-12 from three through two games and Devonte’ Graham is just 2-for-10. Already important scoring options, those two will need to be even better from a perimeter shooting standpoint in order to give Kansas the offensive spacing they need for their big men to be successful in the post.
