Columbia, Mo. — When Kansas coach Lance Leipold explained linebacker Bangally Kamara’s absence against Wagner as a “non-contact injury” and said his status would be “unknown for a while,” it didn’t necessarily give the impression that Kamara would return for KU’s very next game. But as the eight days between the Jayhawks’ 46-7 victory on Aug. 29 and 42-31 loss on Saturday unfolded, a quick ...
The Kansas soccer team claimed its first road victory of the season in dominant fashion on Sunday afternoon, as the Jayhawks routed Yale 4-0 at Reese Stadium in New Haven, Connecticut. “This was a good professional performance by our team,” KU coach Nate Lie said in a press release. “I thought the first road game of the year (a tie at Utah State on Aug. 24), we didn’t show up particularly well. This was ...
Pin hitters Grace Nelson and Rhian Swanson reset career highs with 17 and 22 kills, respectively, but the Kansas volleyball team lost to Purdue 3-2 (16-25, 25-19, 18-25, 25-21, 11-15) on Friday night at Holloway Gymnasium in West Lafayette, Indiana.

The Tigers had chipped away at KU’s 15-point lead with a touchdown, safety and field goal in reasonably quick succession, but ...
Columbia, Mo. — Nursing a 31-28 lead, the Kansas football team had Missouri backed up at third-and-17 after a sack by Leroy Harris III with just under seven minutes remaining in Saturday afternoon’s Border War. With a stop, the Jayhawks could have returned possession to their offense with the lead and a chance to deal the Tigers a massive blow. Instead, on a day when Missouri went 4-for-5 on third downs, KU ...
The current Kansas football team is in many ways removed from the era in which the Border War rivalry with Missouri took center stage. KU has players on its roster who were in preschool when the Jayhawks and Tigers played for — until this year — the final time, as part of the 2011 season, before Missouri left for the SEC. As left tackle Calvin Clements puts it, the rivalry with Kansas State has been the ...
