The Kansas Jayhawks have officially withdrawn from the Big 12 Tournament due to a positive COVID test, according to KC radio’s Bob Frescoe.
Devastating blow to the tourney.
KU has withdrawn from the Big 12 Tournament per release.

Kansas was supposed to play Texas tonight in the semi-finals and had already kept two players home due to “contact tracing.”
We’ll deliver more details as they come.
Ridiculous. Coaches using this to avoid a potential loss that could hurt their seeding.
Yup. Plus I don’t think most of these big named school coaches like the conference tourneys anyway.
LOL pathetic
I retract my positive statements about Kansas on the Duke article. This is sad.
Was it coach’s choice or Big XII rules?
I watched this all through football season. While some teams played 2nd, 3rd team subs, others cancelled games due to a “star” player being “affected” (yes, that is spelled right). What I don’t understand is why are they still testing with a test that does not test for what they are testing for? If it seems like I am getting a little testy, well, just go back to the beginning of BB season and watch video of the coaches all wearing masks. Fast forward to today, masks are worn maybe half the time during a game.
Don’t get me started on Illinois HS football, requiring players to wear masks under their helmets… Parents shelling out $$ to buy special make helmets to allow for masks… This sickness of suppressing our kids has to STOP!
Any one that follows Kansas Basketball and more importantly Bill Self knows that he does not avoid tough games, good competition, and potential losses. He knows it shapes his team. So no this is not Coach Self not wanting to play. That’s ridiculous.
