The Kansas Jayhawks wasted no time getting on the scoreboard Saturday afternoon against TCU as senior guard Travis Releford scored on a layup nine seconds into the game. The rest of the half was just like that. The Jayhawks held the Horned Frogs to nine first half points and held them scoreless in the final [...]
If the first half is any indication Kansas has found itself in a defensive struggle. If Ben McLemore’s first half is any indication the Jayhawks’ leading scoring is in for a tough night too. McLemore shot 0-8 from the field (Kansas shot 11-28 total) and has no points through the first 20 minutes of play. [...]
Before I start this column, I’d like to preface by saying that I think Bill Self will consistently have this offense running smoothly by the time March Madness comes along. That being said, in the last month, other than the games against Kansas State and Texas, the offense has been teetering between stagnant and moribund. [...]
Four film students walked into the Kansas men’s basketball locker room for the first time on Thursday looking around at the extensive wood work and well-placed Jayhawk apparel around the facility.

There’s no doubt that Oklahoma State fans will rush the floor if the Cowboys knock off Kansas tonight in Stillwater, Okla. Almost every crowd does when their team beats Kansas. Cowboy fans even rushed the floor after Oklahoma State’s 84-79 overtime victory last Saturday against Oklahoma, even though the Sooners are unranked and the Cowboys [...]
Last month, before the match-up with Texas at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson had a meeting with the three seniors of the team: guard Angel Goodrich, guard Monica Engelman, and forward Carolyn Davis. The Jayhawks were coming off of three straight losses and slipping in the Big 12 standings, but Henrickson told the seniors [...]
What can one game do to a team? That one’s easy. Just look back to when February was only three days old. Just look back to when Marcus Smart acted more like a cheerleader than a basketball player, flipping all over James Naismith Court. Just look back to when the Jayhawks took their first blow [...]
It’s no secret. Kansas has its confidence back. For Kansas players, coaches and fans this return to confidence had to happen and happen right now. Why the sense of urgency? Because the Jayhawks are in the homestretch. The stretch of unfinished Big 12 business that makes or breaks Big 12 conference championships. The toughest games [...]
Senior leadership carried the Kansas women’s basketball team to an 81-71 victory over No.22 ranked Oklahoma at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday.

As evidenced by the litany of NBA players at the Kansas victory over Texas, the NBA has reached its All-Star weekend. This is exciting to NBA players for two reasons. First, they get time off to spend with their families and take a much -needed rest. Second and more importantly, journalists release their coveted midseason [...]
What a weekend. The Kansas men’s basketball team demolished the Texas Longhorns with a 26-point victory on College GameDay.

Freshman [...]
ESPN basketball analyst Jalen Rose took some time after the College GameDay taping on Saturday to talk with the Kansan about his many endeavors with the worldwide leader in sports.

It was a special night in the Fieldhouse with Mario Chalmers’ number rising into the rafters. The arena showed off a blend of old and new schools in Kansas’ 73-47 victory over Texas. Chalmers walked onto Naismith court at halftime and gave a well-thought out speech to the sellout crowd just after the cord had [...]
The personal accolades continue to pile up for senior point guard Angel Goodrich. First, it was being named an All-American. Then, it was being named a John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 finalist. Next, it was scoring 1,000 points and becoming the 26th Kansas Jayhawk to do so. Now, she has her name on [...]
