Amid all of the roster turnover that the Kansas baseball team endured this offseason, KU always had a foundational piece in the fold in pitcher Dominic Voegele. The question, entering his third collegiate season, is whether the Jayhawks’ ace can retain the form that earned him Big 12 freshman of the year honors in 2024.

Friday night’s men’s basketball portion of Late Night in the Phog featured an extended riff on the reality show “Love Island" that culminated in Kansas coach Bill Self selecting not just one of his players but all 16 — the entire team. “I love this team,” he said in the skit.
