With the days remaining in the regular season numbered, so, too, are the opportunities for the Kansas basketball team to finally turn a corner and — just maybe — win at least a share of the Big 12 title. A foregone conclusion most years under head coach Bill Self, a conference championship is a mere possibility for his Jayhawks right now. Tied for third place in the league standings with Baylor and one ...
From the outside looking in, the Big 12 regular season championship looks far less attainable than usual for Kansas.

The Sunflower Showdown win didn’t even boost KU to second or ...
The healing salve to the Jayhawks’ road aches, pains and sometimes damaged psyches, Allen Fieldhouse will need to inoculate its inhabitants yet again on Monday. Five times this season, the schedule has sent the Kansas men’s basketball team back to its home court following a road loss.
