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.
