Junior guard Marcus Garrett has played 78 games in a Kansas uniform, likely has between 60-70 more before he’s finished and already has earned some of the highest praise possible from KU coach Bill Self. “To me, he’s as fun a player as I’ve had to coach,” Self said Thursday, when ...
When a Kansas basketball player’s effort level is keeping him from living up to his potential, he knows he will hear about it. And he certainly knows whose voice will bring the problem to his attention. So after Udoka Azubuike went a two-game stretch — more than 58 minutes of action — ...

Before Tuesday’s 95-68 rout of Milwaukee at Allen Fieldhouse, Ochai Agbaji’s father, Olofu, told his son to go easy on the Panthers. The reason? Both Olofu and Agbaji’s mother, Erica, attended and played basketball at what was then known as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee during ...
