A week after the volleyball team held its moment of reflection, the soccer team followed suit. The soccer team stood during the moment of silence as the volleyball team's statement was read over the loudspeaker.
"That was something the kids felt they wanted to do to show that we were together and it was something that we're thinking about," coach Mark Francis said in October. "I thought they did a good job of coming up with the statement they did and I was proud of them."
Men's basketball defeats Duke
With less than five seconds remaining in a tied game in Madison Square Garden, Frank Mason III pulled up a jumper from the foul line.
The ball fell through the net with 1.8 seconds left, giving Kansas a 77-75 lead over Duke. Duke's Matt Jones heaved a half-court attempt as time expired, but it was off the mark.
Mason finished the game with 21 points, Josh Jackson had 15 points and Devonte' Graham added 13 points. Udoka Azubuike also finished in double figures with 12 rebounds.
The game put Kansas at 1-1 on the season, after the Jayhawks lost an overtime thriller in Hawaii against the Indiana Hoosiers just four days before. Beating Duke sent Kansas on an 18-game win streak before the Jayhawks lost in Morgantown, West Virginia in
late January.
Off-the-court men's basketball incidents
Two men's basketball players - Carlton Bragg Jr. and Josh Jackson were suspended this season for various off-the-court offenses.
Bragg was suspended twice over the course of the season.
He was first suspended in December, after he was arrested and charged with battery. The single charge
was dropped after the Douglas County District Attorney's office reviewed video of the incident. He missed one game during this suspension.
He was suspended for a second time in January after "violating team rules." Prior to the suspension, Bragg was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. He is currently serving on diversion and was suspended for three games.
After the season was

over, Bragg announced in a news release that he would be transferring from the University.
Jackson was suspended for one game during the Big 12 tournament after hitting a parked car in a University parking lot. He received three citations in the incident for hitting an unattended vehicle, inattentive driving and improper backing.
He also currently faces a misdemeanor charge of vandalism, something
in which he was not suspended for, but faced "appropriate in-house discipline," according to a Kansas Athletics news release.
After the season was over, Jackson declared for the NBA Draft and signed with an agent.
