Kansas sneaked in one of the highlight plays of its nonconference slate under the wire. In the final two minutes of KU’s last game prior to the start of league play, with the Jayhawks already up 33 points on Brown, AJ Storr pestered N’famara Dabo in the post to such an extent that Dabo wasn’t able to put up a shot off Jeremiah Jenkins’ behind-the-back entry pass. Instead, Dabo spun awkwardly between ...
Zeke Mayo didn’t miss a beat. The Lawrence native had already scored in double digits before five minutes elapsed on Sunday afternoon, helping Kansas first fend off Brown as the Bears shot well early, then put them away as they went brutally cold from the floor late. Fresh off a 26-point scoring performance against N.C. State in KU’s prior victory, Mayo reprised his starring role with 25 points on ...

Even if, as KU coach Bill Self said, Moore did ask to come out at one point, suggesting he might not be in tip-top shape.

One such group in which it had not yet made inroads in the transfer portal prior to Friday was tight end, but the Jayhawks strengthened their outlook there for 2025 by adding Arizona transfer Keyan Burnett. Burnett, a 6-foot-6, 248-pound tight end from Ladera Ranch, California, will have one year of eligibility remaining. He ...
Could last year’s Baylor-Kansas result at Allen Fieldhouse serve as motivation for this year’s Bears on Saturday? “Yeah, heck yeah,” BU coach Nicki Collen said. What was then the No. 4 team in the country came to Lawrence to face a struggling KU squad, winless in the Big 12, on Jan. 10. After leading 35-26 midway through the second quarter, the Bears couldn’t handle KU’s switch to zone defense, ...
