KU defense shines in season opener
Well, it didn’t take the Kansas football team long to pick up right where they left off. On Saturday - in front of a packed Memorial Stadium - the Jayhawks sent Florida International packing to the tune of 40-10.
KU soccer team off to 2-0 start
For the first time since 2004, the 25th ranked Kansas soccer team is 2-0.
Gee-Gees’ three threes not enough
The law of averages finally caught up with Kansas University’s Canadian exhibition opponents. Ottawa’s Gee-Gees misfired on 14 of 17 three-point tries in a 95-60 blowout loss to Kansas at Montpetit Hall, just a day after Carleton and McGill swished 15 and 10 treys apiece in one- and five-point losses to the Jayhawks.
Keegan: Keegan: Defense rock-solid in debut
Consider all the issues raised in Kansas University’s sometimes-sloppy 40-10 season-opening victory against Florida International, and then note what they have in common. Based on the unproductive run game and the heat put on quarterback Todd Reesing by FIU’s blitzing defense, the readiness of the inexperienced offensive line remains a concern. Red-shirt freshman Jeremiah Hatch, who had earned the starting right tackle spot, did not play.
Little plays big
Newcomer keys KU's exhibition rout of Ottawa
Kansas University newcomer Mario Little fell just short of a triple-double in the Jayhawks’ 95-60 men’s basketball exhibition rout of the University of Ottawa on Sunday night at Montpetit Hall. For the record, the undersized, 6-foot-5, 210-pound power forward scored 21 points off 9-of-11 shooting, dished eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds in 28 minutes.
Gary Bedore’s KU in Canada postcard: Day 2
I’m thinking about what I’m going to write today while reclining in a downtown Ottawa Starbucks on a beautiful Sunday morning, 65 degrees, just a few clouds in the sky. I’m reading the print edition of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, sipping a Grande-sized coffee and also gazing at tourists ambling past a Sears Department Store with a giant red Canadian Maple Leaf emblazoned above the entry-way.
Kansas football won, but couldn’t run
Typically, it is difficult to find glaring fault in a college football team’s 30-point victory. It is even harder to do so when the team’s quarterback threw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns and its biggest cause for concern entering the season - special-teams play - proved, for a day at least, to be a strong suit.
KU soccer lackluster in victory
A hint of satisfaction pierced through Mark Francis’ scathing words. Just don’t hurt your eardrums trying to pick it up. Kansas University’s soccer coach first took a trip to Negativetown, lamenting his team’s poor play Sunday afternoon at Jayhawk Soccer Complex against Auburn University. The Jayhawks didn’t control the tempo, Francis said. They continually got beat to the ball. They allowed the Tigers to fire freely away on goal.
Ex-Jayhawk roots for KU up north
Former three-sport athlete Roberts honored by Jayhawks
Mario Chalmers’ three-pointer that sent the 2008 NCAA men’s basketball title game into overtime truly was a shot heard ‘round the world. Proof is Jay Roberts’ reaction north of the border. “I drove everybody nuts. I went off the deep end,” former Kansas University football/basketball/track athlete Roberts said. He jumped for joy while watching KU’s 75-68 victory over Memphis on TV in his Ottawa, Ontario, home.
