Tracking the freshmen: Cade Cunningham leads the pack
In our introductory edition, it isn’t a surprise to see 2020’s No. 1 ranked player Cade Cunningham leading the way and there are certainly some very familiar names making the first list.

KU basketball uses 3-point eruption to blow out West Virginia
If one thing was clear in No. 3 KU basketball’s 79-65 win over No. 7 West Virginia, it’s that the Jayhawks weren’t shy firing from beyond the arc. When all was said and done, Kansas had attempted a season-high 37 3-pointers and knocked down 16 of them (43.2 percent).

The Jayhawks made 16 of their 37 3-point attempts on the evening, good for a mark of 43.2 percent. The Jayhawks only attempted 10 free throws and turned the ball over 11 times, but a shooting mark of 44.4 percent from the field coupled with 19 offensive rebounds provided plenty of offense — especially considering the Jayhawks were one off a program record for 3s made in a Big 12 game.
Reaction: KU basketball frees the 3 in monster win
Kansas-West Virginia is always a physical affair, and one that isn't typically separated until the final minutes. But Tuesday, Kansas — a 1.5-point favorite coming in — played its game of the season, moving the ball crisply, dominating on the offensive glass and making 16 3-pointers to win a 79-65 game that Kansas led by 22 points at one point in the second half.
Quick recap & instant analysis: KU basketball vs. West Virginia
Conference play has arrived for KU basketball. The Jayhawks began Big 12 play on Thursday, defeating at-the-time No. 14 Texas Tech by one point. On Tuesday, the Jayhawks returned home to face West Virginia. Kansas defeated the No. 7-ranked Mountaineers in blowout fashion, 79-65.

Simpsons Twitter thread: "You'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel" revealed
