Big 12 announces KU women's basketball conference schedule

The Big 12 Conference on Monday afternoon announced its league schedule for women's basketball games, including the 18 contests that await Kansas this winter.

KU swept by Creighton to conclude nonconference play

A second matchup against No. 18 Creighton this season — and a second match of the day — didn’t go too well for the Kansas volleyball team on Sunday. The 17th-ranked Jayhawks ended the Omaha Tournament on a sour note with a 3-0 loss to the Bluejays (24-26, 18-25, 22-25) at D.J. Sokol Arena. KU completed its nonconference slate at 9-5 after having previously beaten Omaha on Saturday and South Florida ...

Williams delivers big performance as featured back against WVU

Time was ticking down in the fourth quarter, Kansas running back Leshon Williams wanted to get out of Saturday night’s game, and it became clear to him that the shortest path to the sideline was through the end zone. “You want to know what was really going through my head … I’m going to tell y’all the truth,” he said. “It was about the fourth quarter. I’m like, ‘We got to finish, and it’s ...

Armed with advice from the pros, Nagy has started fast as KU's punt returner

Playing early is a rare opportunity for any college freshman, and even rarer is receiving pregame advice, prior to one’s collegiate debut, from an NFL player who plays the same position. That’s exactly what Kansas’ Tate Nagy got in the form of a text from Kansas City Chiefs punt returner Nikko Remigio before KU played its season opener on Aug. 23. Nagy has studied Remigio, who “catches the ball super ...
