The chants that came down from the Kansas student section in the opening minutes on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse were loud enough as to be unmistakable. On a pair of offensive possessions with the Jayhawks trailing Iowa State 4-2, first came “Flo-ry! Flo-ry!”, then a more emphatic “We want Flory!” Flory Bidunga, KU’s freshman center from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, had returned to the ...
When Kansas lost to Iowa State on Jan. 15, KU coach Bill Self remarked on the Cyclones’ ability to snag “75% of every 50/50 ball.” Monday night’s rematch went the Jayhawks’ way, and so too did one particularly pivotal loose ball.

In addition, despite ...
Waco, Texas — After several of its recent victories necessitated late rallies, the Kansas men’s basketball team found itself in the unfamiliar position of playing from ahead in the second half on Saturday afternoon. Perhaps the Jayhawks would have been more comfortable trying to string together another comeback. After leading by as many as 21 points in the first half, KU conceded a 26-6 run to open the ...
