A Jayhawk positioned in a circle appeared on the front-right portion of the jerseys. The Jayhawks had their numbers, but not names, on the back of the jerseys. The cheerleaders wore 1950’s-style outfits.

LHS grad sits

KSU senior Mark Frederick, a walk-on out of Lawrence High, did not play. He’s logged just four minutes in two games this season.
