Senior Sendoff: Kansas basketball's unique, 6-man senior class has contributed in a variety of ways during the past 4-plus years

A unique group of Kansas basketball seniors is set to say its final farewell to Allen Fieldhouse and the adoring KU fan base on Saturday in the regular season finale for the sixth-ranked Jayhawks. Made up of a couple of four-year Jayhawks in Ochai Agbaji and David McCormack, two more players who extended their Kansas basketball vacations past the four-year mark in Mitch Lightfoot and Chris Teahan and a pair of ...

Kansas junior Christian Braun hits 2 big shots vs. TCU but aims to be more aggressive in games to come

There’s two ways you can look at junior guard Christian Braun’s performance against TCU during Thursday night’s 72-68 victory by sixth-ranked Kansas. On one hand, KU’s second-leading scorer made every field goal he attempted, knocking in four shots total including a 2-for-2 mark from 3-point range. On the other hand, for a guy who averages nearly 11 shot attempts per game, taking just four shots in ...

Better intensity, big block lead Kansas to brink of Big 12 title with 72-68 win over TCU

TCU bullies No. 6 Kansas, 74-64, dropping Jayhawks into 2nd place in Big 12 race

It was back-to-back losses for Kansas and back-to-back wins over ranked teams for the first time in TCU history for the Horned Frogs on Tuesday night in Fort Worth, Texas. After falling to Baylor in a hard-fought showdown at the top of the Big 12 standings last Saturday night, the sixth-ranked Jayhawks were bullied on the glass and beaten in just about every other aspect of a 74-64 loss at Schollmaier Arena. ...

Notebook: Kansas basketball focusing on 'one-game season' the rest of the way

For the second year in a row, the Kansas men’s basketball team finds itself playing the same opponent in back-to-back games late in the season, with TCU headed to Allen Fieldhouse on Thursday night for a rematch of Tuesday’s 74-64 TCU victory over No. 6 Kansas in Fort Worth, Texas. Thursday is the make-up date for what was supposed to be the conference opener for both teams on Jan. 1. COVID-19 issues within ...
