The Kansas men’s basketball team was without guard Kevin McCullar Jr. for the first time all season in Tuesday night's win over Oklahoma State, despite a variety of bumps and bruises he’s taken over the course of the year. KU coach Bill Self said he doesn’t expect this latest injury, a bone bruise, to keep McCullar out long. “It’s kind of created a similar situation that the other one did,” Self ...
When the two schools meet for a rematch at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night, Kansas will find Oklahoma State in a decidedly different place than it left the Cowboys just two weeks earlier. Since getting blown out 90-66 by the Jayhawks in a tepid Gallagher-Iba Arena, OSU took Kansas State to the wire in Manhattan (but blew a 10-point lead with 10 minutes to go), faded in the final minutes against TCU (after losing ...
Sean Snyder, who served as a special assistant to head football coach Lance Leipold, will no longer be on the Kansas coaching staff, a KU spokesperson confirmed Saturday.

The last season in which KU started 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference was 2020-21, a ...
Outside of Johnny Furphy’s breakout performance Monday, the latest in a string of several impressive showings for the freshman, Kansas’ game against Cincinnati was rather lackluster for the Jayhawks’ offense. The rest of the team shot 38.6% — right below the 39.3% to which KU held UC as a team. Of the Jayhawks’ two All-American candidates, Kevin McCullar Jr. willed his way to 20 points but went an ...
