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. Gorczyca has experienced significant playing time as a rotational tackle for KU over the course of his final collegiate season, but when he took the field shortly after 3 p.m. on ...
Kansas forward Flory Bidunga attributed his career-best scoring performance on Monday against Green Bay to the time he spent watching film after he struggled in last week’s exhibition against Fort Hays State. His teammate, fifth-year senior guard Melvin Council Jr., had a much simpler explanation: “I think it was his braids. He got a new hairstyle.” Whatever the case, the incarnation of Bidunga that ...
The Kansas volleyball team dominated West Virginia in a road match on Saturday afternoon, resulting in a 3-0 sweep (25-16, 25-18, 25-17).

Trailing 10-7 with a minute remaining in the first half, looking for its first win of the season, last-place Oklahoma State had a chance to deal Kansas a significant blow when it reached first-and-goal at KU’s 3-yard line.
