Given another chance at the Kansas men's basketball team Monday in Puerto Rico, the Bahamian national team accomplished what it could not two days earlier and finished off the Jayhawks. With KU trailing 82-80 in the final minutes, Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar Jr. misfired once apiece and Nick Timberlake got called for a foul going for a key defensive rebound. Then forward Travis Munnings of the Bahamas ...
Calvin Clements' size is, by all accounts, difficult to ignore. “He’s giant," said redshirt senior teammate Dominick Puni, who is himself listed at 6-foot-5, 320 pounds.

The Jayhawks are embarking on an 11-day jaunt through the Mediterranean from Sunday through Aug. 16, taking on an Italian Select Team in Rome on Wednesday and a Greek Select Team in Athens four days later ...
The Bahamas national team had just one of its NBA stars available Saturday night, and only for half the game at that, but still managed to give Kansas one of its biggest exhibition tests in recent history. Seven-year NBA veteran Buddy Hield lit up the Jayhawks for 18 points in just 16 first-half minutes — a familiar sight for KU fans who once watched him score 46 points in Allen Fieldhouse back in 2016 — ...
