From the opening minutes on Tuesday night, it was clear that Kansas had emerged onto James Naismith Court on a mission. The Jayhawks jumped ahead of No. 2 Iowa State early while displaying a level of intensity on both ends of the court that simply hadn’t been present for much of the previous 125 minutes of Big 12 basketball they had played this season (at least outside of their miraculous final few against ...
The Kansas football team will bring back its leading tackler and starting middle linebacker from the 2025 season after all. Trey Lathan announced on social media on Thursday that he is returning to KU, posting a highlight video from last year that concluded by declaring him “locked in.” Lathan had previously stated on Jan. 1 that he planned to enter the portal but by all accounts and according to multiple ...
Nine former Jayhawks will have the opportunity to play spring football this year if they so choose. Quarterback Jason Bean, offensive tackle Earl Bostick Jr., linebacker JB Brown, cornerback Mello Dotson, tight end Mason Fairchild, linebacker Kyron Johnson, wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II, center Mike Novitsky and defensive end Lonnie Phelps were all selected as part of the United Football League draft, which ...

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 ...
