Champaign, Ill. — The Kansas men’s basketball team, making its unofficial return to the court for an exhibition match at Illinois to benefit victims of the Maui wildfires, trailed nearly wire-to-wire and fell 82-75 to the Illini Sunday evening. KU, the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, was within striking distance throughout but managed to hold an advantage for just one cumulative minute, entirely ...
Kansas coach Lance Leipold experienced a bit of a role reversal last weekend while the Jayhawks were on a bye. He said on his “Hawk Talk” radio show Wednesday that he and his wife Kelly took his son Landon on a game-day visit to a college football program in South Dakota.
