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 ...
The Kansas volleyball team came up completely empty on its road trip to Utah as it suffered a second consecutive loss in straight sets on Friday night, falling 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-20) to BYU at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah. The Jayhawks, who had previously been swept just once on the season (Sept. 21 at Creighton) and not at all in conference play, suffered in recent days a pair of resounding losses at the ...
The Kansas football team got a head start on portal season last year when it secured the commitment of Bangally Kamara, then transferring away from South Carolina, on Nov. 4, 2024; at the time, he was the first known pledge of the entire offseason cycle.

The Kansas football team had two or fewer sacks in five consecutive games before redshirt freshman Dakyus Brinkley was involved in a pair of sacks on consecutive plays on Nov. 8. Early in the second quarter Brinkley wiggled his way around Arizona tackle Tristan Bounds to bring down Noah Fifita by his left leg, then on the next snap lined up on the opposite side, bounced off a chip from a tight end and dodged Ty ...

The Jayhawks trailed for much of the first half following an early set-piece goal by Grace Maddox, but Faith Johnston’s ...
New York — Kansas coach Bill Self has long been a believer in the power of a multi-team event to bring a group of Jayhawks together. Last year’s team didn’t quite have that at its disposal, without a traditional Thanksgiving tournament, and when it did get to spend a few days in Utah in league play it didn’t go well. This year’s squad, on the other hand, will get to play three games in the Players Era ...
