Transfer linebacker Lathan signs with KU, per reports

Preview: KU welcomes Big 12 newcomer ASU

The Kansas men’s basketball team mustered about as good a response as anyone could have possibly envisioned after losing its conference opener at home. Sunday’s 99-48 evisceration of UCF set school records as the biggest road win in school history over a Division I opponent — in a league game, no less — and the most dominant performance by an away team in Big 12 Conference history.
