KU volleyball swept again, this time at BYU

The Kansas volleyball team came up completely empty on its road trip to Utah as it suffered a second consecutive loss in straight sets on Friday night, falling 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-20) to BYU at Smith Fieldhouse in Provo, Utah.

Early in the second quarter Brinkley wiggled his way around Arizona tackle Tristan Bounds to bring down Noah Fifita by his left leg, then on the next snap lined up on the opposite side, bounced off a chip from a tight end and dodged Ty ...

Whoever plays, KU will have plenty of opportunities to grow in Vegas

New York — Kansas coach Bill Self has long been a believer in the power of a multi-team event to bring a group of Jayhawks together. Last year’s team didn’t quite have that at its disposal, without a traditional Thanksgiving tournament, and when it did get to spend a few days in Utah in league play it didn’t go well. This year’s squad, on the other hand, will get to play three games in the Players Era ...
