After his team lost at Baylor and was officially eliminated from contention for a Big 12 Conference regular season title — not to mention thrust into a less favorable position in the overall league standings — Kansas guard Kevin McCullar Jr. reiterated that his team’s goal “hasn’t changed at all.” “Just trying to win the next game that we can line up and get ready to compete for,” he said. The ...
Waco, Texas — Chalk up another road loss for a Kansas squad that has become all too familiar with them this season. Just days after head coach Bill Self called Kevin McCullar Jr.’s status for the remainder of the season into question, McCullar returned to the Jayhawks’ starting lineup after missing five of the last eight games due to injury, and gave KU an offensive spark with a co-team-high 20 points. ...
Waco, Texas — As soon as it got Kevin McCullar Jr. back from his bone bruise — much sooner than many had anticipated — the Kansas men's basketball team encountered a different injury issue Saturday at Baylor.

Self quite famously led the Jayhawks to 17 regular-season Big 12 Conference titles (one was vacated by October’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process ruling). Until Tuesday night, meanwhile, he had only lost 17 total games at Allen Fieldhouse. Then KU fell 76-68 to Big 12 newcomer BYU. After leading ...

It’s true — in his first season at Buffalo after taking over from Jeff Quinn he inherited redshirt freshman James O’Hagan, who became a four-year starter and all-conference pick. When O’Hagan exhausted his eligibility ...
The Kansas baseball team is back from Texas after a lengthy trip to open the season, but the Jayhawks haven’t fully escaped the Lone Star State just yet. The Jayhawks' first home series of the year, a four-game stretch that begins at 3 p.m. Friday at Hoglund Ballpark, will be against Texas Southern, before they open Big 12 Conference play by hosting TCU next weekend. Texas Southern plays in the Southwestern ...
