1+ day, 3+ hour ago (289+ words) Kansas Jayhawks freshman Darryn Peterson is widely projected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. But his health has slowed his start. Peterson is a truly special guard who projects as one of the best one-and-done initiators and floor general among all backcourt prospects in many years. However, due to a hamstring injury, the 18-year-old has only played two games so far while in college. While he looked dominant in both of those appearances, averaging 21.5 points and 3.0 assists per game, he has already missed significant time for the Jayhawks. Unfortunately, when Kansas takes the court in Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival at MGM Grand Garden Arena during Thanksgiving Week, he isn't expected back on the floor. Here is more from Kansas coach Bill Self: "We're not going to have Darryn in Vegas," Self said. "Although we…...

1+ day, 6+ hour ago (475+ words) Harrison Butker tries to make every field goal or extra point attempt feel the same. This even-keeled approach helps him remain poised, especially in a pressure situation like the one he faced on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The Chiefs placekicker had already booted four field goals, supplying most of Kansas City's scoring. But much more was riding on his fifth attempt. Two minutes remained in overtime. The Chiefs had clawed back from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit, and now the game was tied at 20. A 27-yard attempt would not only determine whether the Chiefs would end a two-game losing streak, but perhaps save their playoff hopes. The kick was perfect. Butker had his game-winner, and a sigh of relief. The Chiefs won 23-20. "I want every kick to be the same," he said. "But I was standing there thinking, "Man, my…...

Kansas coach Lance Leipold wasn't pleased with his team's effort postgame. "I thought we were soft and timid," Leipold said of his team's start. "When we did have moments to flip it, we didn't make enough plays to answer that to try to make it a better football game." Here are our grades for all three phases of Saturday's contest for KU (5-6, 3-5 Big 12), plus a player of the game KU's offense had a rough outing.

A three-minute opening statement started with Klieman calling the Wildcats' effort the greatest he's ever been a part of, and made reference to the calls for his job amid what's been a disappointing season for the Kansas State football program.

"I gotta be honest with you, I'm tired of it. I've given my friggin-ass life to this place for seven years; I've given everything for seven years, and…...
