No. 6 Kansas routs Nevada 88-61 in hastily scheduled game After Kansas had its game against Harvard wiped out by COVID-19, and Nevada had its Mountain West opener against San Jose State postponed for the same reason, Wolf Pack coach Steve Alford jumped at the chance to visit storied Allen Fieldhouse for the first time. By halftime of the hastily arranged fill-in game, he was probably regretting it. Christian Braun scored 22 points, Ochai Agbaji added 16 and the sixth-ranked Jayhawks rolled to an 88-61 victory over the turnover-prone Wolf Pack before another sellout crowd in the storied arena on Wednesday night. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401398463

Coleman-Lands scores 20, No. 6 KU beats George Mason 76-67 — Kim English probably didn't have Kansas guard Jalen Coleman-Lands or forward Mitch Lightfoot circled on his scouting report, especially considering the George Mason coach only had a couple days to put it together. The two backups certainly made English pay for it. Coleman-Lands came off the bench to hit five 3-pointers and score 20 points, Lightfoot hopped up after him and scored 14, and together they helped No. 6 Kansas hold off the Patriots 76-67 on Saturday in a late addition to the schedule. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401398910

No. 6 Kansas survives cold stretch, beats Oklahoma State Bill Self didn't know exactly how many consecutive shots his team missed to close the first half — it was 19 — but the Kansas coach didn't panic at halftime, telling his players "the lid will come off" the basket. It certainly did. No. 6 Kansas shot 70.8% from the field in the second half, helping the Jayhawks overcome a scoreless streak of more than 9 1/2 minutes and beat Oklahoma State 74-63 on Tuesday night in the delayed Big 12 Conference opener for both teams. read more https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401368359

No. 9 Kansas uses big 2nd half to stuff West Virginia, 85-59 Kansas has been waiting all season for David McCormack to give the No. 9 Jayhawks a consistent force inside.

McCormack had 19 points and 15 rebounds in a virtuoso outing against West Virginia. Wilson added 23 points and eight boards of his own.
