Kansas rose two spots after earning its first conference victory over Houston, but TCU made the biggest move in this week's Big 12 power rankings, climbing from 14th to ninth after beating Utah. After a two-week reprieve, Houston sank back to last among the 16 teams. Meanwhile, Iowa State and BYU remained Nos. 1 and 2 for the fourth consecutive week. Iowa State received 10 of a possible 16 first-place votes ...
Kansas City, Mo. — Plenty of questions still remain to be addressed about how the Kansas men's basketball team will line up with its slew of newcomers, and those questions will not necessarily get resolved on Friday.

Wheeler, the Jayhawks' lone defensive captain who serves as their signal-caller, made his ...
Kansas cornerback Cobee Bryant’s three-interception game against Houston on Saturday etched his name in the record books, as he tied the highest single-game mark by any Jayhawk in the 134-year history of KU football. Because he tied rather than exceeding the record, though, his name will remain alongside the other men who accomplished the feat: John Konek in 1951, Duane Morris in 1957 and, most recently, Bill ...
