The Kansas softball team moved to 10-6 after another weekend tournament in Florida, one that saw the Jayhawks lose a lead late against host Florida Atlantic and get run-ruled by UMass but also claim three decisive victories. "It was a long weekend, and we've got to figure out how to not beat ourselves in games as we did earlier," head coach Jennifer McFalls said in a press release on Saturday. "That was a tough ...
An uneasy and abnormally quiet Allen Fieldhouse crowd roared to life for a moment when Elmarko Jackson tied Saturday’s game at 49 with 12 minutes to go. Jackson had two chances to ratchet the noise up to another level, and put game pressure on Cincinnati, but missed a pull-up 3 and then couldn’t quite rattle in a fast-break layup.

KU’s 23rd-year head coach didn’t think his team was sufficiently tough, quick enough to loose balls or stingy enough on defense in the second half — a period in which OSU actually outscored KU by two points. The ...
The events of Wednesday night, when Kansas’ star guard Darryn Peterson exited a road win at Oklahoma State less than three minutes into the second half due to the latest resurgence of his cramping issues, exposed Peterson to the most thorough national backlash he has faced all season. Peterson, a future top-three pick (at minimum) in the 2026 NBA Draft, had come in for criticism a week prior when he missed a ...
