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.

Kansas’ next foe may not reside in the upper echelon of the Big 12 Conference — at least, three games in, it’s the only team without a league win — but that doesn’t mean the Jayhawks will breeze past Oklahoma State. “All road games are hard, regardless of records or anything like that,” KU coach Bill Self said.

The Jayhawks used 11-2 and 9-0 stretches in the later stages of Saturday’s game to ...
Hunter Dickinson has established himself as one of the preeminent college basketball players in a variety of domains over the course of four seasons. Blocking shots, though, has not necessarily been his calling card. At Michigan, the center averaged about a block and a half per game; so far in his first season at Kansas he had been about half a block worse, prior to Saturday and hadn’t rejected a shot in ...
