Las Vegas — Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. ended his postgame media availability, alongside teammates Flory Bidunga and Bryson Tiller, with a promise: “I’m going to let you guys know that we’re bringing a lot of energy in the morning.” That’s a big part of Council’s role as the self-described leader of the Jayhawks — especially in the absence of star guard Darryn Peterson — and he’ll ...
A memorable season for the Kansas soccer team fell short of history, as the third-seeded Jayhawks lost 2-0 at No. 2 seed Duke on Sunday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. In just the second season at the helm for head coach Nate Lie, KU had become the third team in school history to reach the Sweet 16, but the Jayhawks couldn’t quite knock off the Blue Devils to make it where the program never had ...
From one ACC opponent to the next, from the Big Apple to Sin City, the Kansas men’s basketball team will continue progressing through its nonconference schedule when it faces Notre Dame at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Monday afternoon.

Kansas coach Lance Leipold has frequently spoken in the past about how his first trip to Iowa State in 2021 — one during which the Cyclones destroyed the Jayhawks 59-7 — demonstrated to Leipold that KU had a lot of work to do to compete in the Big 12. Whatever Leipold learned from that memorable visit, he’s employed it to great effect in the years since, especially against ISU. The Jayhawks have won each ...
