One of the big questions surrounding this year’s Kansas team, especially since the return of Tre White, is how much time the 6-foot-9, 225-pound Keanu Dawes will spend playing power forward and how much he’ll be at center. “I like it everywhere, honestly,” Dawes said, “as long as I’m playing.” He’ll be doing quite a bit of that either way. The Utah transfer, a senior from Houston, has the ...
SALT LAKE CITY — Early in the second half, it looked like Kansas might be able to keep pace with No. 12 Utah in a shootout. That would have been almost unthinkable entering Saturday given the inconsistency of the Jayhawks’ offense, but quarterback Isaiah Marshall had hit his stride, and if the KU defense could have forced another turnover or two like it did early on, who knows what might have ...
The Kansas soccer team earned perhaps its biggest victory of the season thus far on Sunday afternoon when it took down No. 24 Colorado 1-0 at Prentup Field in Boulder, Colorado.

The group accounted for 26 of quarterback Isaiah Marshall’s 37 targets, and Pickett had a career-best day with eight catches for 134 yards. McMillan caught four passes for 89 yards and one touchdown, and could ...

As they continued to play from behind in the second half at No. 12 Utah — having essentially spotted their opponents a 14-0 advantage to ...
SALT LAKE CITY — A pair of penalties on the Kansas offensive line in the third quarter of Saturday’s game at No. 12 Utah erased both an initial fourth-down conversion and then the possibility of even considering going for it on fourth down. That sequence, with the Jayhawks threatening to take their first lead of the night after a dire start, instead condemned them to playing from behind for the remainder of ...
