As long as he’s been a fixture on the national college landscape, fourth-year center Hunter Dickinson does have another season of collegiate eligibility remaining, and in a podcast appearance Friday he suggested he would consider returning to Kansas. “The extra year is there for a reason,” he said, in a conversation with basketball analyst Jeff Goodman and North Carolina forward Armando Bacot on The Field ...
Morgantown, W.Va. — West Virginia had only made more than eight 3-pointers in a game once all season; the Mountaineers hit 14 in a loss to UMass on Dec. 16. They scored nine in the first 14:14 Saturday afternoon against Kansas, and weren’t too shabby from inside the arc either.

Stillwater, Okla. — All season, the Kansas men's basketball team has been hoping that point guard Dajuan Harris Jr. will shoot more on offense and that a solid fifth option will emerge in the starting lineup. Both came to fruition at once Tuesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Harris took his fair share of chances, both in the halfcourt and in transition, and finished with 11 points on an efficient 4-for-6 ...
