Less than two weeks ago, the Kansas volleyball team was on the ropes at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas, after dropping the first two sets to No. 24 Baylor.
The Jayhawks turned the tide in their favor on that day with a five-set win, and on Thursday night inside Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena, history didn’t repeat itself as KU swept the Bears (25-20, 25-21, 29-27) on Ray Bechard Court. “It felt like a very similar match, this time...

Lawrence High’s Sports Regions Swap
Later this year, all Lawrence High School sports, with the exception of football, will switch from competing in the Eastern 6A KSHSAA region to the Western 6A region. These regions determine what schools LHS will have to face while attempting to reach state tournaments, with a switch to the West meaning that LHS will avoid having to face highly competitive schools like Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, or Olathe: instead facing top Western schools like Washburn Rural, Manhattan, and Free State.

KU Jayhawks host Middle Tennessee in one-time game, a contrast to 1999 road trip
The Kansas Jayhawks will play host to Middle Tennessee at 8 p.m. Friday at Allen Fieldhouse in a one-time “guarantee game” that carries no contractual obligation for a return trip to Murfreesboro, Tenn. That is the modern norm for high-major men’s basketball programs facing mid-majors. It was not the case in 1999, when Roy Williams took the Jayhawks to the city 35 miles from Nashville as part of a three-year, 2-for-1 series. High-major programs routinely schedule teams such as MTSU for single nonconference contests. A road victory over a mid-major offers limited benefit in the NET rankings or strength-of-schedule metrics, while a loss in a hostile environment could carry significant downside. A home game in a sold-out venue such as 15,300-seat Allen Fieldhouse also provides necessary revenue for an athletic department. In keeping with those practices, Kansas is not obligated to play a return game at the Blue Raiders’ 11,500-seat Murphy Center. Basketball historians and longtime KU fans may recall a notable exception from the Williams era. In December 1999, Williams brought his Jayhawks to Murfreesboro for a game against Middle Tennessee, then a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (now in Conference USA). The trip was part of a
