In its first-ever matchup against new conference foe Cincinnati, the Kansas volleyball team swept the Bearcats (25-23, 25-14, 25-23) on the road at Fifth Third Arena. The Jayhawks stifled UC's offense, which hit just .124 on the day with 22 attack errors, and got quality showings from the ever-reliable Reagan Cooper and Ayah Elnady, who tallied 15 kills apiece. Setter Camryn Turner had a strong all-around day ...
Honolulu — The Kansas bench, prior to Wednesday, often had a negative or at best neutral effect on its team's chances of winning. The "bench" — which for the Jayhawks might as well comprise players five through nine, because though Elmarko Jackson has started every game this year, no player has definitively staked a claim for that role — totaled 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting in the loss to Marquette on ...

Only one Kansas quarterback had practiced enough last week that the coaching staff felt confident starting him in the Sunflower Showdown. KU coach Lance Leipold said postgame Saturday — and reiterated in his press conference Monday — that even though both quarterbacks were cleared to play, freshman Cole Ballard got the start because super-senior Jason Bean, dealing with a head injury, hadn't gotten ...
Honolulu — Some of the biggest challenges of Kansas’ entire 2023-24 campaign will come in the second and third rounds of the Maui Invitational Tuesday and Wednesday. The Jayhawks first had to ensure they could make it to those tough matchups unscathed, however, and they followed through by beating host Chaminade 83-56 Monday evening at the SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center to improve to 4-0 on the ...
