The hours are ticking away until Sunday's selection show. The two Kansas basketball teams will enter the NCAA Tournament heading in opposite directions — the KU men’s team slumping to a degree it rarely has this century, the KU women’s team having closed the season winning nine of its last 11 games and vaulting itself into postseason contention — but they will find out their fates all the same Sunday ...
Spring practice is just a few days away for the Kansas football team, and head coach Lance Leipold has already suggested it could be pretty light at times for some of KU’s more experienced players.
