From as high as a 3 to as low as a 5 or 6, KU coach Bill Self breaks down where Kansas stands in terms of seeding

As we close in on the one-week mark to Selection Sunday — March 17 — many eyes have begun to shift toward what seed this Kansas basketball team will land in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Sure, that’s no different than any other year, but, most years, it’s whether the Jayhawks will be a No. 1 or a 2 seed that stands as the biggest question, or, when that’s already obvious, where KU will be sent or if ...

KU coach Bill Self says senior Lagerald Vick should be remembered 'in a very favorable way'

While Saturday’s regular season finale against Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse will be the rare season-ender without a celebration of KU’s seniors, Kansas coach Bill Self took time in the days leading up to it to reflect on the lone senior on his 2018-19 roster. Because a leave of absence took him back to his hometown of Memphis to tend to some personal matters four weeks ago, Lagerald Vick will not be in the ...

For this Kansas team, it's what comes next, not the end of the streak, that matters most now

Say what you will about the end of KU’s 14-year Big 12 title streak, how the Kansas players and fans should react to it and what it means for the Big 12, these Jayhawks and the Kansas basketball program as a whole.

Notebook: Dedric Lawson continues to deliver double-doubles for KU

Norman, Okla. — When KU forward Dedric Lawson first arrived at Kansas, he brought with him 36 career double-doubles from his two seasons at Memphis, where he both grew up and played before transferring to KU prior to the 2017-18 season. Today, as the 6-foot-9 junior closes in on the end of his first season with the Jayhawks — which has anywhere between 3 and 10 games left in it — it’s clear that the ...

This Is The End: Kansas overwhelmed by Oklahoma, ending KU's quest for another Big 12 title

Norman, Okla. — The Kansas Jayhawks left nothing to chance on Tuesday night. Instead of a spirited effort that would take the conference race down to the final day and at least give the Jayhawks a glimmer of hope of extending their NCAA-record streak of 14 consecutive conference titles to 15, the 13th-ranked Jayhawks showed up dead flat at Lloyd Noble Center and watched Oklahoma run away from them from start ...
