Sunday will be the first time the Michigan basketball team will square up with a top-five opponent this season. It's also the first time the Wolverines will play against twins this year.

The dynamic duo of Kansas men’s basketball’s forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris have led the third-ranked Jayhawks to an unblemished 14-0 mark this season. The junior twins weigh in at a combined weight of 480 pounds and average a combined 28 points and 15 rebounds per game.

On Sunday, the Morris twins will meet Michigan guard Darius Morris. The floor general will lead the Wolverines at Crisler Arena in hopes of upsetting undefeated Kansas after falling to the top-ranked Jayhawks, 75-64, in Lawrence, Kansas last season.

In that matchup, Darius tallied nine points and juniors Zack Novak and Stu Douglass both notched nine of their own. And three Wolverines will be back on the floor on Sunday looking for a different outcome.

But this time around, a freshman that has put fear into opposing coaches' eyes will be joining the veterans on the hardwood. Kansas rookie guard Josh Selby is averaging 15 points a game and shooting a team-high 56 percent from behind the arc for the Jayhawks.

Selby has been one of the NCAA's most prolific freshmen this season. After being ranked last year’s No. 1 high school recruit by Rivals.com, Selby has lived up to the hype. He is a combo guard that can crank a shot from anywhere on the floor, even with a hand in his face, and he averages less than one turnover a game.

With Kansas scoring more than 75 points in 13 of its 14 games, Michigan’s biggest challenge will be to either stop or keep up with Kansas’ high scoring offense.

Containing the Jayhawks will be difficult. Kansas is shooting 54 percent from the field and due in large part to the Morris twins, have outmuscled almost every team they’ve faced thus far on the boards.

But the Morris twins in the post will be even more troublesome for the Wolverines. In Wednesday's loss to Wisconsin, Michigan allowed a combined 30 points from Badger forwards Jon Leuer and Keaton Nankivil. If Michigan fails to stop an aggressive Kansas offense, its own offense will have to keep up.

However, if the offense can't keep up, things don't look bright for Michigan coach John Beilein and his Wolverines. Averaging 68 points a game, the Wolverines are the second-lowest scoring team in the Big Ten. Michigan is shooting 34 percent from 3-point range, something that doesn’t work well when a team has four or five guards on the floor.

But if Michigan leaves victorious, this Sunday’s game in Ann Arbor could be a huge mark on the Wolverines resume come March.

“If you look at our schedule, this is all about opportunity," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "You’ve heard me say before: in the leagues where I come from, you don’t get these opportunities in January, February. These are guaranteed games in December at their place… You have Kansas at home in front of a great crowd — great chance for a home win. So these are the opportunities you look at and say, ‘Hey, this is what these kids have been waiting for a long time to be able to do this.’ "
