The Big 12 soccer tournament has demonstrated to this point the fundamental irrelevance of regular-season results when it comes time for the postseason. Baylor, which lost 1-0 to Texas Tech at home on Sept. 19, beat the Red Raiders in penalties on Monday, only to fall two days later in resounding fashion to BYU, a team it had beaten on Oct. 10. West Virginia held Kansas to a draw at Rock Chalk Park on Oct. 16 ...
BYU was the overwhelming pick for the top spot in this week’s Big 12 power rankings ahead of Saturday's showdown with Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The Cougars received 14 of 16 first-place votes from a panel of media who regularly cover the league. Tech received the other two first-place votes and came in second. Utah was third, followed by Cincinnati and Arizona State. Kansas remained at No. 12 after ...
The Kansas soccer team earned a chance to defend its Big 12 Championship title and got a measure of revenge along the way.

The seventh-seeded Jayhawks used three goals in an eight-minute span to turn a narrow lead over No. 2 seed West Virginia on Monday night into a resounding result. KU claimed a 4-0 win at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, matching its ...
The Kansas football team recorded two sacks in Saturday’s 38-21 victory over Oklahoma State. Both came from defensive tackles who were part of KU’s 2023 recruiting class. Blake Herold has long been a part of KU’s rotation on the interior, to the point that former defensive coordinator Brian Borland said late last season that he might have developed into the Jayhawks’ best overall pass rusher. But ...
Offensive tackle Nolan Gorczyca, a redshirt senior and the final Buffalo transfer remaining on Kansas’ roster in Lance Leipold’s fifth season as the head coach, made his first career start on Saturday against Oklahoma State.
