Travis Goff said the amount of students in Allen Fieldhouse won’t change with the new renovations. They’ve added two rows of seating behind the basket as the corners were removed. More from Goff on the student experience in the new Phog. #kubball

Travis Goff said in a release that there will be a 3,500 student seat allotment at Children's Mercy, with some being a unique standing-only opportunity. At Arrowhead, Goff said it'll be equal or higher than The Booth. Student combo passes will work for all home games. #kufball.

Hell of a career for Taiyanna Jackson, Holly Kersgieter, and Zakiyah Franklin. Three players who truly left their mark on Kansas women’s basketball. Paved the way for players like S’Mya Nichols to carry the torch. Special players.

Elmarko Jackson at #kubball media day: “You can’t beat this, you can’t beat Allen Fieldhouse. You can’t beat coach Self and staff. It’s just a feeling that I got when I came here on my visit that just trumped every other school that I went to. (1/2).

What's more impressive, Mason Fairchild hitting 27 reps of 225 or Sam Winton hitting it once?.

First time in a long time where Kansas beat an FBS team and the fans didn't rush the field, at least to my recollection. Statement win? #kufball.

I’m very excited for this Kansas baseball team. Jayhawks bring back most of their position player core and have some intriguing additions to the pitching staff from the portal. Could be a big season in year two under Dan Fitzgerald #RockChalk.
New Mexico transfer @AshbyLenin should step right into the heart of the @KUBaseball order and make a run at all-Big 12 honors. The lefthanded hitter slashed .360/.429/.630 with 26 HR, 36 2B and 110 RBIs in two years at New Mexico. Top Transfer Classes 👉

They might not have played the Hum, but the student section is juiced as the flag comes out. @KUWBball is very close to clinching a berth in the WNIT Championship

The running back talent in the Big 12 is insane, but I am surprised Devin Neal did not make the Second Team. Very close race statistically, depends on what you value. #kufball

Can’t understate how big of an opportunity Kansas has on Sunday. Gonna be a lot of eyes on the Jayhawks as they have a chance for a signature win.

#kubball could be seeing more of Shakeel Moore in the starting lineup, as Bill Self said he anticipated starting Moore against ASU today. Some thoughts on what he brings to the starting five ⬇️.

.@RRinehart2012 and others asked the question, so I dug into it. Just how similar are the 2018-19 and 2023-24 #kubball teams? The answer, way too similar. More in my latest for @KansanSports

AJ Storr said Bill Self is constantly pushing him to be better and aggressive. Said KU's trio of vets (Hunter Dickinson, KJ Adams, Dajuan Harris) have helped a lot too. #kubball.

Make it 7 in a row, and this one likely locks up an NCAA Tournament berth. What a run and impressive performance in the first year under Nate Lie.

One of the most electrifying guards #kubball has had in recent history. An integral piece of the National Championship team too.

@JohnBrown1855 I mainly kept it to people who transferred out after last season. But super hyped for Tyon though, glad to see him succeed.

The Wildcat doesn't look to be going anywhere. Devin Neal handed it off to Cole Ballard who threw a pretty pass to Luke Grimm for a touchdown #kufball.
