Las Vegas — Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. ended his postgame media availability, alongside teammates Flory Bidunga and Bryson Tiller, with a promise: “I’m going to let you guys know that we’re bringing a lot of energy in the morning.” That’s a big part of Council’s role as the self-described leader of the Jayhawks — especially in the absence of star guard Darryn Peterson — and he’ll ...
Kansas Athletics released as part of its game notes for KU’s upcoming game against Utah a list of 33 Jayhawks who will be going through senior-day festivities.

Ames, Iowa — The Kansas football team had a hard enough time stopping Iowa State on downs one through three, but when the Cyclones got to fourth down, the Jayhawks’ defense reached a new level of porousness. KU allowed a fourth-down conversion on ISU’s game-opening touchdown drive, then three touchdowns on fourth downs in the second half. The defense’s inability to get off the field at those moments ...
