Peterson's early surge propels KU to 90-82 exhibition victory at No. 11 Louisville

The 2024-25 Kansas Jayhawks made six or fewer 3-pointers in 15 of their 34 games. KU overhauled its roster in the offseason, and it could not have been clearer on Friday night, when top freshman recruit Darryn Peterson made six 3s — on his own — in the first half of the Jayhawks’ exhibition opener against Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center. Peterson had a quieter second half and didn’t play at all late, ...

Preview: KU has chance to snap streak, improve season's trajectory against K-State

KU soccer claims 3-1 road win at BYU with early flurry

Playing in front of 3,017 fans at South Field in Provo, Utah, the Kansas soccer team spoiled BYU’s senior night and came away with a 3-1 road victory on Thursday night. The Jayhawks struck early and often, with three goals in the first 24 minutes, and conceded just once in the second half despite being outshot an uncharacteristic 12-3 over the course of the final 45, as the Cougars morphed into “as dynamic ...
