Even though Friday’s season opener between No. 3 Kansas and No. 11 Indiana featured two of the top teams in the country and carried with it an NCAA Tournament feel, KU coach Bill Self said the result was secondary in the big picture of the young 2016-17 season.

Blue Bloodied: Jayhawks drop opener to Indiana in OT, 103-99 | KUsports.com
Maybe it was the nostalgia and pride of playing in front of so many men and women of the military on Veteran’s Day or the unfathomable idea of opening the season they’ve been waiting so long to tip off with a loss.

Gameday Breakdown: KU football vs. Iowa State | KUsports.com
For all the excitement surrounding David Beaty naming redshirt freshman Carter Stanley the starting quarterback against Iowa State, it might be easy to forget this is Stanley’s first college start. The 6-foot-2 QB looked comfortable a week ago in West Virginia when an injury to Montell Cozart forced him into the game.
