The No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks just could not get rid of the pesky UCF Knights basketball team at Addition Financial Arena on Wednesday night.

Johnson finished with 17 points, Jaylin Sellers had 18 and Ibrahima Diallo had 13 points and played tremendous defense to lead the Knights. It was a far cry from the Knights’ performance in their Big 12 opener at Kansas State on Saturday,...

Wavering senators say that she had...
