KU survives scare against Princeton, 76-57, with Bidunga's career day

The Princeton Tigers got close and couldn’t quite get over the hump. Even after shooting 9-for-28 in the first half, they still found themselves in the thick of a game against Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday, facing just an eight-point halftime deficit. They got as close as one point away in the second half, but conceded a critical 17-3 run and saw their upset hopes evaporate. Again playing without ...

KU avenges earlier defeat to KSU by sweeping Wildcats in Manhattan

The Kansas State volleyball team put a significant damper on a special night for Kansas — and dealt KU its only loss since Oct. 1 — when it stole a five-set win at Allen Fieldhouse on Oct. 24, snapping an eight-game losing streak in the Sunflower Showdown. The Jayhawks, as their social media account put it, “got (their) get-back” on Saturday afternoon, when they swept the Wildcats, 25-22, 25-20, 26-24, ...

Preview: Peterson ruled out ahead of KU's game against Princeton

The Kansas men’s basketball team returns to the floor on Saturday at 1 p.m. to continue its nonconference slate at home against Princeton, but one player will quite conspicuously not be taking the court. KU coach Bill Self announced on Friday that star freshman Darryn Peterson will miss his second straight game due to hamstring tightness. “He is still sore, and for whatever reason, it’s still sore, and ...

Self pleased with 2026 class, but it's 'a player away' from elite status

Kansas coach Bill Self was somewhat surprised to learn in his Friday press conference that his team’s current 2026 recruiting class — which to this point consists of Davion Adkins, Luke Barnett, Taylen Kinney and Trent Perry — ranks among the top few in the country. Indeed, it’s No. 1 on 247Sports, No. 2 on ESPN and No. 3 on On3. “That’s pretty good,” Self said. “But I will say this: There’s ...

KU advances past Cal Baptist with 3-1 victory in NCAA Tournament

Kansas coach Nate Lie had been hoping for his team to get off to a fast start to its tournament run. The Jayhawks did exactly that in the fourth minute of Friday night’s match at Rock Chalk Park when Caroline Castans played in a service from the left wing for Saige Wimes, whose header bounced past Cal Baptist goalie Mikayla O’Brien into the bottom right corner of the goal. “When we get down one goal ...

The key players who will help determine whether KU makes a bowl game

Missing a bowl game this year would be a grim result for the Kansas football team. If the Jayhawks lose at Iowa State on Nov. 22 and at home against Utah on Nov. 28, both games in which they will undoubtedly enter as underdogs, they will fall short of the postseason by a game for the second season in a row. But this year’s trajectory would paint a much different picture, not of a team that went on a ...
