KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A little home goodness the week of Thanksgiving sits well with Mark Fox.The Georgia basketball coach guided the Bulldogs (3-1) into the championship game of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic and will face a tall task Tuesday he actually welcomes.Although the final-round opponent will be No. 5 Kansas (3-1), Fox will get to play an opponent he is familiar with after growing up in the southwest Kansas town of Garden City. He obtained his masters degree at Kansas, where he frequented practices when Roy Williams was coach. Fox also coached at Kansas State as a young assistant.Kansas is the benchmark for great basketball, Fox said. Theres KU and theres UK, and theyre both blue, and theyre both terrific. But I have the utmost respect for the history and tradition of Kansas basketball because I grew up watching it.The chance to coach against the Jayhawks was facilitated by an 81-73 semifinal win Monday over George Washington. The Bulldogs recovered from a 36-35 halftime deficit behind 18 points apiece from senior guard J.J. Frazier and junior forward Yante Maten.One key for the Bulldogs came after Fox called for something he knew Williams detested from watching those Kansas practices, a zone defense.It was really back and forth for much of the game, Fox said. I thought it was our move to the zone, which makes my skin curl, is what really helped us. We had a hard time guarding them for a minute in man-to-man and the zone seemed to help us.Maten leads Georgia in scoring and rebounding with averages of 20.8 and 8.5. Frazier adds an 18.8-point average as the Bulldogs other scorer averaging in double figures.A chance for Georgia, picked fourth in the SEC, to play Kansas is just another special element about the CBE Classic.On Friday, two of the programs legends, standout forward Dominique Wilkins and coach Hugh Durham, were inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame, which is connected to Sprint Center.Kansas toppled UAB 83-63 in Mondays semifinal round after holding the Blazers without a field goal until the midway point of the first half, with the Jayhawks up 23-5.UAB trimmed the margin and trailed by nine at halftime before the Jayhawks started the second half with another lopsided push. Freshman guard Josh Jackson netted 22 points to pace Kansas, the first time senior point guard Frank Mason, who added 20, did not lead the Jayhawks in scoring.Several of Jacksons points came off thunderous dunks.I dunk so hard so nobody challenges me when I go to the basket, said Jackson, who added that he patterns his drives after Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder.Jackson said one of the qualities he can bring the Jayhawks is toughness, and said that could become Kansas identity.If so, they will need more production underneath. Their two frontcourt starters, senior Landen Lucas and sophomore Carlton Bragg, combined for just seven points against UAB, though they did snag 11 rebounds. A 7-foot freshman backup, Udoka Azubuike, matched Jacksons team-high of seven boards.Weve got five good perimeter players, but weve got to find some way to make a basket inside, Kansas coach Bill Self said.Kansas stands 32-6 all-time at Sprint Center. The Jayhawks could play as many as eight games in the downtown Kansas City arena since the facility will be host to the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA Tournaments Midwest Regional. A.Q.

MANCHESTER, England -- Hull started the season as the English Premier Leagues crisis club, regarded by some as the worst-prepared team ever to begin a top-flight campaign.No manager. Owners that want out. Only 13 fit senior players. Not a penny spent in the offseason. One of their best players sold to a lower-league club on the eve of the season.With two wins from two games, including one over reigning champion Leicester, the side from the northeast of England is confounding the grim preseason predictions and is mixing with Premier League royalty atop the fledgling standings.Hull sits alongside Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea on a maximum six points so far. One of them -- United -- visits the KCOM Stadium on Saturday.Im not sure we could have imagined or hoped for the start weve had, Hull midfielder Shaun Maloney said. But when the games come along, all the stuff off the field gets pushed to the back of your mind.The build-up to the season couldnt have been more different for United and Hull.At United, Jose Mourinho arrived as coach, around $200 million was spent on a quartet of signings that includes world-record transfer Paul Pogba and star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while the teams best players were retained despite its failure to qualify for the Champions League.Over at Hull, Steve Bruce resigned as manager three weeks before the season started, reportedly unhappy at not being able to sign players while the clubs owners -- the Allam family -- look to sell up. Long-term injuries have robbed them of Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo and Allan McGregor, while Mohamed Diame -- the player whose winning goal in the League Championship playoff secured Hulls return to the Premier League -- was sold to Newcastle in early August.Meanwhile, Hull fans disillusioned with the owners continue to protest against the way the club is being run, and will likely do so again on Saturday.No communication, no manager, no engagement, no signings, no identity, no concessions, no honesty, the Hull City Supporters Trust said in a statement.Its against this backdrop that caretaker manager Mike Phelan is working, but the former Manchester United assistant coach has come up with a winning formula.Hard work, good preparation and making the most of limited goalscoring chances are reasons behind Hulls flying start -- a 2-1 win over Leicesteer followed by a 2-0 victory at Swansea.dddddddddddd Midfielder David Meyler gave an insight into Phelans methods after the Swansea game on Saturday.We could tell you everything about them -- how long they sleep, how many times they go to the toilet every day, Meyler said. Thats just the type of person he is. Hes a winner and hes trying to embed that into us.Meyler wants Phelan to be hired as full-time manager and that possibility could materialize now that Hulls No. 1 target, Wales coach Chris Coleman, has pledged his future to the national team. Phelan has spent almost all his coaching career as a No. 2, most significantly to Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.When youre Sir Alexs assistant for long enough, I presume you go through everything, Meyler said, and hes not taking any short-cuts now.Phelan said he is enjoying the moment and that the next step in his career is to become a manager. Beat United this weekend, and the job is surely his.Here are some things to watch out for in the third round of games:---IBRAS TARGETZlatan Ibrahimovic is already setting about making history at Manchester United.The Swedish striker scored the winner in the Community Shield and has also found the net in Uniteds opening league wins, against Bournemouth and Southampton. Against Hull, he is looking to become only the second player to score in each of his first four games for United, after Jimmy Hanson in 1924-25.Ibrahimovic is one of nine players to score in their first three United games.---STAYING PERFECTLooking for a third straight league win under new coach Pep Guardiola, Manchester City hosts West Ham on Sunday and could have a new goalkeeper between the posts.Chile international Claudio Bravo arrived in Manchester on Tuesday to conclude his move from Barcelona, and could get his debut if the transfer is tied up in time.Chelsea hosts Burnley on Saturday, while the standout fixture this weekend is Tottenham vs. Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Saturday.---NO POINTSThree teams are yet to get off the mark in the Premier League this season, and two of them play each other on Saturday when Bournemouth travels to Crystal Palace.Sunderland is the other side to open with back-to-back losses and visits Southampton.
