The Kansas bench started to stand up before David McCormack even caught the ball. With just over three minutes left in the game, junior Marcus Garrett set up the sophomore big man with an alley-oop off a designed set during KU’s eventual 60-53 win over West Virginia on Saturday. Garrett ...
David McCormack is in a tough spot, which is a strange thing to say about a big man who starts for the No. 3 college basketball team in the country. It’s just that the Kansas sophomore never knows from game to game how much playing time will be coming his way. The Jayhawks, of course, open ...
Fresh off its second win over a ranked opponent this season, the Kansas men’s basketball team maintained its No. 3 spot in the Associated Press rankings and picked up a first-place vote in the process. The Jayhawks’ 60-53 win over No. 16 West Virginia on Saturday was good enough for a ...
One poor opening to one Big 12 game isn’t going to cost Kansas big man David McCormack his starting job. But even if head coach Bill Self keeps the sophomore forward in that first unit for the remainder of the season, the Jayhawks still need a definitive four-guard lineup their coach can ...
Saturday afternoon’s 11-rebound effort in a 60-53 Kansas win over West Virginia marked the first time in the injury-plagued career of Udoka Azubuike that the Kansas big man has recorded double-digit boards in three consecutive games. Prior to Saturday, the 7-foot senior grabbed 11 rebounds ...
Less than a week after shooting 41% from 3-point range in a road win over Stanford, the third-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team returned home on Saturday and could not buy a bucket from the outside. In Saturday’s 60-53 victory over No. 16 West Virginia, the Jayhawks shot just 3-of-17 ...
Marcus Garrett tried to warn them. In the practices leading up to the Kansas basketball team’s Big 12 opener, the veteran guard did all he could to prepare his teammates for the type of physicality visiting West Virginia would bring to the conference opener inside Allen Fieldhouse. Garrett ...
With his team lucky to be down just 6 points at halftime of Saturday’s Big 12 Conference opener against West Virginia, Kansas coach Bill Self fell back on the one word that means more to him than any other — toughness. The result was a grind-it-out, 60-53 victory in which five Jayhawks ...
In an old-school basketball game, KU’s big man stood taller than the rest. A strong second half by center Udoka Azubuike helped No. 3 Kansas power past No. 16 West Virginia, 60-53, Saturday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks (11-2) have now won a 29-straight conference openers ...

It figures to be a different type of Big 12 race for the Kansas men’s basketball team in 2020, at least compared to the previous 15 years. After finishing third in the league last year, behind co-champions Kansas State and Texas Tech, KU’s streak of 14 straight Big 12 titles came to an ...
With nonconference play behind them, the third-ranked Kansas Jayhawks are gearing up for an intense matchup with West Virginia — one that KU coach Bill Self described as a “fistfight.” And if the game (3 p.m. Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, available for streaming on ESPN+) is a thriller, ...
Self on Thursday was asked about a recent comment made by ESPN college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg, who said on the air that he thought Self would end up leaving Kansas for San Antonio at the end of the 2019-20 season. “My boldest prediction for 2020 is Bill Self to San Antonio,” ...
Out of the boot and off the scooter that aided his rehab [from a broken left ankle suffered back in November,][1] Kansas freshman Jalen Wilson has been on the practice court for the Jayhawks during the past few days. But Self said the freshman from Denton, Texas, remains a couple of weeks ...
On Saturday afternoon when third-ranked Kansas and No. 16 West Virginia square off at Allen Fieldhouse to open Big 12 play, a matchup that has become must-see television in recent years will not be watched by some KU fans. The same goes for Wednesday's game at Iowa State and two more Big 12 ...
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self gets 13 scholarships per season to fill out his roster. So today, as we look back on the last 10 years of Kansas basketball under Self, it only makes sense that we put together an all-decade team that features 13 players — five starters and eight on the ...
Topeka — Roughly 19 hours later than they were supposed to arrive, the Kansas Jayhawks finally made it back to Kansas just after 6 p.m. Monday. Delayed almost a full day after the failure of one of the two engines on their Swift Air charter flight home from Stanford on Sunday evening, the ...
Sunday’s win at Stanford, coupled with a big win by their next opponent over No. 2 Ohio State, was enough to clear the way for the Kansas Jayhawks to climb in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll. Bill Self’s squad jumped from No. 5 to No. 3 in the latest AP poll, coming in just ...
With 12 games worth of lessons now in their memory banks, Kansas basketball freshmen Christian Braun and Tristan Enaruna have reached the first true checkpoint of their college careers. The nonconference season is now a thing of the past — save for a date with Tennessee in late January ...
Stanford, Calif. — The KU men’s basketball team’s charter plane lost an engine shortly after taking off Sunday evening, forcing the flight to return to the airport in California, KU officials said. “Upon our return flight home from San Jose (International Airport), roughly 20 minutes ...
