Fran Fraschilla and Seth Greenberg got together to discuss the biggest topics in college basketball. This week, they look closer at Kansas following its 72-40 loss Tuesday to Kentucky in the Champions Classic.

Seth Greenberg: It’s a process. I’ve said this before: Kansas is not close to where it's going to be. The Jayhawks have a young and developing point guard situation with Devonte Graham and Frank Mason. They’ve gotten inconsistent play from two of their freshmen, but it’s just their second game on this stage. Kelly Oubre is learning how to be part of a basketball program, how to be a player at a high level where you must understand the commitment and how hard you have to play and everything that surrounds it. Cliff Alexander will be a terrific player. But they are both a work in progress.

The young players must buy in and understand how hard they need to work on a daily basis, and Bill Self is a master teacher. But it’s not going to happen overnight, that’s the reality of it.

Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis need to play and be difference-makers. Ellis has to be a guy who understands how to lead, even though he’s quiet. Selden needs to play better than he did Tuesday night. If they don’t play well, then Kansas is going to be in trouble. They need to set the tone to teach these young guys what it takes.

Fran Fraschilla: In a strange way, an embarrassing loss like this is exactly what Bill Self needs to teach a young team what it’s going to take to be as good as some of these recent Kansas teams have been.
