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 ...
Before freshman guard Darryn Peterson arrived on campus at Kansas, he said forward Flory Bidunga was the teammate with whom he was most excited to play. The two took the floor at the same time in game action at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time on Monday night against Green Bay, and they certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Rhian Swanson and Jovana Zelenović tallied 11 each, and Reese Ptacek ...
Kansas coach Bill Self has in recent weeks characterized his team this year as one featuring much more uncertainty entering the season than the average KU basketball roster over the course of his 23 seasons at the helm.
