It may have been just moments after the Kansas women's basketball team's most lopsided loss of the season, but Holly Kersgieter was already able to put it in perspective. The Jayhawks had their seven-game winning streak snapped with an 85-59 defeat to No. 9 Iowa State on Wednesday night, and Kersgieter, a junior forward, was willing to look past it. "People individually will spend time on it, but as a team, ...
Ochai Agbaji, Christian Braun and Jalen Wilson have been responsible for more than half of the Kansas basketball team's scoring this season. Yet on Tuesday night, in fifth-ranked KU's 102-83 victory over Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse, they finally received some help off the bench.
