Kansas coach Bill Self has in recent weeks characterized his team this year as one featuring much more uncertainty entering the season than the average KU basketball roster over the course of his 23 seasons at the helm. Exhibitions at Louisville and against Fort Hays State provided the beginnings of some sort of clarity, as well as excellent showcases for key offseason acquisitions like Darryn Peterson and ...
Kansas wide receiver Bryson Canty sees setbacks as opportunities to learn lessons, he says, and he knows everything happens for a reason — even the leg injury that set him back during fall camp after he arrived in Lawrence over the summer. After all, he wouldn’t even be playing for KU in the first place if it weren’t for another injury, a torn hamstring his junior year at Columbia that cost him most of ...
In Oklahoma State, a team that is currently 1-7, Kansas guard Kobe Baynes sees a team playing football with much the same spirit the Jayhawks did when they were 1-5 in 2024. “I think their coach kind of has them really amped up to play each week, and I think that we’re really looking forward to the challenge of going against them,” Baynes said. “...

It might be good news, ...
The 14th-ranked Kansas volleyball team bounced back on Thursday night with a victory on the road at Cincinnati, 3-1 (25-22, 25-17, 22-25, 25-18).

Senior outside hitter Rhian Swanson paced KU with 19 kills, and middle blocker Reese Ptacek and opposite hitter Jovana Zelenović added a dozen apiece. Katie ...
