The six spring practices the Kansas football team has staged thus far have featured an atmosphere of competition that strength coach Matt Gildersleeve has called “revitalizing” and “reinvigorating.” That’s not only because KU brought in upwards of 20 transfers to fill the void left by an accomplished senior class, but because the new blood has sparked something among the Jayhawks who stuck around ...
Kansas City, Mo. — On a night when Kansas coach Bill Self described his team’s intensity as “awful” and the Jayhawks gave up 94 points, combining with their own 98 against UCF for the highest-scoring game in Big 12 tournament history, they might have had some use for fifth-year guard Shakeel Moore.

Kansas City, Mo. — The Kansas men’s basketball team found out — as the college basketball adage goes — just how hard it is to beat the same opponent three times. KU appeared set to coast to victory in its first game of the Big 12 tournament against UCF on Wednesday night when it took a 61-48 lead on a 3-pointer by AJ Storr with just under 14 minutes remaining. The No. 14 seed Knights, who had just ...
