There’s just something about facing Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse that apparently lends itself to season-defining hustle plays. A year ago, Kansas coach Bill Self quickly declared David Coit’s halfcourt alley-oop to KJ Adams off a gritty steal by Dajuan Harris Jr., which occurred in a 69-52 win over the Cyclones on Feb. 3, the potential “play of the year.” On Tuesday against the Cyclones, it didn’t ...
The history of Kansas basketball under head coach Bill Self is littered with players-only meetings — key junctures at which athletes took matters into their own hands and met as a group to try to set their seasons back on track.

The Kansas men’s basketball team entered Tuesday night 4-0 under head coach Bill Self at Allen Fieldhouse against AP No. 2 teams, but then the Jayhawks had been ranked pretty highly themselves in each of those victories — No. 13 against Ohio State in 2011, No. 1 against Oklahoma in 2016, No. 3 and No. 17 when they hosted Baylor in 2017 and 2021. KU entered its fifth such matchup in a dramatically different ...

Originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he was a 247Sports Composite four-star prospect out of Hattiesburg High School, he announced his decision in a post on X. Oatis played in four games ...
The Kansas men’s basketball team’s struggles early in conference play have turned what would under any circumstances be one of the biggest games on the calendar — a showdown with unbeaten Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night — into an extremely important opportunity for the Jayhawks to set their season back on course. “We need to get back on the right track — but understanding, also, that ...
Former Middle Tennessee wide receiver Nahzae Cox has committed to Kansas, he announced in a post on Instagram on Sunday night. Cox is the second wideout, after Buffalo transfer Nik McMillan, and fourth pass catcher overall that KU has added in the transfer portal. He started nine of the Blue Raiders’ 11 games in 2025 and caught 40 passes for 473 yards and five touchdowns, playing more snaps than any other ...
