KU star Harris returning to lineup against Baylor
Kansas point guard Dajuan Harris Jr. will play at Baylor on Saturday, coach Bill Self told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Harris will return to the lineup after his streak of 98 consecutive starts — the seventh longest in school history — was snapped when he missed the No. 11 Jayhawks’ 91-87 win Tuesday over UCF with an ankle injury.
After the victory, Self said the Jayhawks were “just trying to survive” without Harris. UCF nearly handed Kansas back-to-back losses at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time since Roy Williams was in his first season roaming the sideline nearly 36 years ago.
“I think it’s pretty evident how valuable Juan is after watching our ballhandling and getting us into offense and defense,” Self said.
Harris didn’t play against the Knights after tweaking his ankle in practice.
He has scored 1,078 points with 786 assists, and he needs 19 to pass Jacque Vaughn for No. 2 on the career list behind Aaron Miles.
Harris’ 4,688 minutes played are second only to Danny Manning in school history. And the only player to appear in more games than Harris’ 159 for Kansas is Mitch Lightfoot, who played in 168. Harris could surpass that by the end of the regular season or in the Big 12 or NCAA tournaments.

Wichita interchange is the most stressful in Kansas, poll says
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — An interchange in Wichita is the most stressful off-ramp in Kansas, according to the results of a new poll.
The poll, by personal injury law firm Regan Zambri Long, asked 3,011 drivers across the United States what off-ramps are the most stressful.
Based on their results, Interstate 135 Exit 5B to Kellogg Avenue took the top spot in Kansas.
The poll said traffic often slows down at this interchange because it is where two major routes meet. Exiting vehicles have to merge and prepare for nearby exits on Kellogg, making speeds fluctuate.
Second place was Interstate 70 Exit 356 to Wanamaker Road in Topeka, and the third-most stressful off-ramp is Interstate 35 Exit 220 to 119th Street in Overland Park.

Longtime KCK family-owned Mexican restaurant closing after 61 years
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Jalisco Restaurant has been a staple in the Kansas City, Kansas, community since 1965. But after 61 years, the restaurant is closing its doors.
A sign posted on the restaurant at North 50th Street and State Avenue on Monday said:
Jalisco Restaurant will permanently close at 8:00 p.m., Saturday, May 30, 2026. Thank you for your patronage. Remember us, we will never forget you. The Hernandez Family.
Erika Dominguez, an employee at Jalisco’s, told FOX4 that one of their cooks, who has been there for more than 40 years, is retiring. One of the other cooks is 90, and has been with the family since the beginning.
“The family is getting older, and it is time,” she added.
“Our wall tells the story of generations of families and Jalisco’s little angels, babies who grew up coming through our doors,” Dominguez said in a social media post earlier this year.
The Hernandez family also owned another Jalisco’s Restaurant location in KCK’s Argentine neighborhood for 48 years. That location closed in 2012. They also owned a location in Mission, Kansas, years ago.
Dominguez said the building at North 50th Street and State Avenue is for sale, and there’s also been talk about the family leasing it – but nothing is in the works at this time.
