Monday, for the first time in 232 weeks, the Kansas men’s basketball program was not ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 college basketball poll. After being included in every AP poll since Feb. 2, 2009 — many times in the top 10 — the Jayhawks fell out of this week’s poll after losing to No. 17 West Virginia over the weekend. “It’s a great deal,” KU coach Bill Self said of the latest Kansas ...
Unranked for the first time in more than a decade, the Kansas men’s basketball team played like it for a half and then used a strong second half to snag a much-needed 78-66 victory over No. 23 Oklahoma State on Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The poster child for that turnaround was junior forward David McCormack. After a 1-for-7 first half that featured more missed bunnies than McCormack would care to ...
Non-existent defense and another poor start on Saturday led to another loss for No. 23 Kansas, which fell to No. 17 West Virginia, 91-79 at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown.

But the Jayhawks (12-7 overall, 6-5 Big 12) never capitalized on their few opportunities to get ahead. “I'm not saying that would have ...

The Big 12 Conference on Thursday announced three changes to its upcoming men's basketball schedule, one of which involved Kansas. The 23rd-ranked Jayhawks, who were previously scheduled to play No. 6 Texas in Austin, Texas, on Feb. 22, now will play the Longhorns on Feb. 23. The game will still tip off at 8 p.m., but it will be shown on ESPN2 instead of ESPN. The game will be a rematch of the Jayhawks' ...
