Colorado Buffaloes and Kansas Jayhawks to Renew Basketball Series
Conference realignment has shaken up the college sports landscape, disrupting longtime rivalries and exciting matchups between conference foes. It’s hard to keep track of what school went where and who is still left in their original conference. With schools constantly switching conferences, previously in conference games are becoming quality out of conference opponents.

Big 12 expansion meets Kansas basketball
Expansionpalooza is driven by four things: practical economics, fear, greed and football. For fans it's that last one - football - which is the driver. But the end result will have far reaching consequences on the other sports. Those other sports are ones which are often subsidized by the football program, though basketball is a different animal. Basketball is often self-sufficient...

Perry Ellis helps restock loaded Kansas Jayhawks squad
Kansas Jayhawks super-recruit Perry Ellis. Yes, his name is exactly like the famous clothing designer, so will he be a fit at the Phog? Is he dressed for success at the level of big time college basketball? (c’mon you knew I was going to do some stupid clothing/designer pun, if the suit fits, wear it!)
Ellis is a 6-8 forward center from Wichita Heights who talked about why...

Might Take a Plane, Might Take a Train, but if He Has To Walk, He’s Going Just the Same
Jimmie Johnson is going to Kansas City. Kansas City here he comes. And this weekend, it’s safe to say he is looking forward to returning to the track where he is the defending race-winner. His October 2011 victory at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City happened at an opportune time in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but just like the University of Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball...

KU's success starts with Self
The first time he rode to the Final Four, Bill Self was at the wheel of an Aston Martin, the envy of the lot. The Jayhawks had Darrell Arthur up front and Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush in the back. He'd built a Kansas team that was sleek, sporty, and went from zero to 60 in about two seconds flat.
Four years later, Self is back in the promised land. Only this time, he'...

Self's triangle-and-2 defense helps Kansas win
ST. LOUIS It was as if somebody had reached over and put dad-gum gum in Roy Williams' hair.
Sometimes in Bracketville, it comes down to a tweak. At the 11:52 mark of the second half of the NCAA tournament's Midwest Regional final, North Carolina hit the under-12-minute media timeout with 61 points. Over the previous eight minutes, they'd scored 14 points. In the eight...

Taylor's Kansas legacy on the line against UNC
ST. LOUIS Loving her with all your heart does not necessarily mean that she'll love you back. March is funny like that. Some years, she returns Bill Self's calls. Some years, she doesn't. You dial anyway.
Consider the curious case of Tyshawn Taylor. In a dozen career NCAA tournament appearances, Kansas' point guard has averaged 7.8 points, shot 40 percent from the...

Report Card: No. 11 NC State vs. No. 2 Kansas
N.C. State came oh-so-close to advancing to an Elite 8 matchup with its arch rival but fell short in a 60-57 loss to Kansas on Friday in the NCAA Tournament.
The Wolfpack didn't shoot well, it was in foul trouble, and it found itself down by nine points with 5:40 left, but was within a point and a chance to win it with less than 15 seconds remaining. But some poor late-game...

Kyle Willed His Kansas Jayhawks Back From The Dead Against Purdue
How about Kyle and those Kansas Jayhawks? Massive amounts of wild hotel sex last night in Omaha. Kyle just getting drunk at the hotel bar and picking up slutty Kansas chicks. What? That’s his son to his left? Doesn’t look a bit like his father. In other March Madness news, how about that state of Ohio? 25% of the Sweet 16. One team headed to Elite 8. Ohio U. to face a...
