With most of the preliminaries out of the way, here are six of the standout freshmen who have passed the midterm tests for their teams. Some are playing right out of high school and others had to wait a year before their ...

(AP) — The seniors hadn't been playing like seniors, and Kansas was suffering for it. Elijah Johnson kept turning the ball over on offense, Kevin Young missed a couple easy shots around the rim, and Travis Releford was mired in foul trouble. Little surprise that Temple had the sixth-ranked Jayhawks on the ropes. ...

Kansas' Ben McLemore, a redshirt freshman surrounded in the starting lineup by seniors, didn't let the raucous crowd, the travel or sleeping in a strange bed bother him. McLemore scored 22 points and No. 9 Kansas proved it was more than just a bully a...

(AP) — Ben McLemore is already accustomed to being on the finishing end of alley-oop dunks. He was on the giving end on Saturday. It happened midway through the second half, when the freshman guard looked toward the rim and then lofted a pass that Kevin Young snared in mid-air. The senior sparkplug for ninth-ranked Kansas proceeded to throw...

Keith Appling came through. Big time. Hitting a pair of huge shots down the stretch — one from beyond the 3-point arc, the other on an acrobatic drive — Appling carried the No. 21 Spartans to a 67-64 upset of No. 7 Kansas o...

(AP) — Everybody seemed to be happy on the Kansas bench last season. Bill Self was certainly pleased with the way his team ran roughshod to an eighth straight Big 12 title. All his players were content, too, because they understood their roles, and that seven or eight of them were going to carry the load on a night-by-night basis. ...

(AP) — Bill Self could be roaming the sideline at Allen Fieldhouse well into the next decade. The Kansas basketball coach agreed to a restructured contract Friday that extends through the 2021-22 season and includes a raise to $3.857 million per year. Self's previous deal, worth $3.376 million annually, would have run through June 2018. ...
