Ever wonder where athletic directors of all Big 12 Conference schools sit during their home men’s basketball games?

The Journal-World’s Nate Reed received responses from all schools in the league with the exception of Colorado.

Lew Perkins sits right next to KU’s bench and the scorer’s table on the west floor of Allen Fieldhouse.

Others:

Tom Osborne, Nebraska: Sits in stands at Devaney Center and in a suite for the team’s games at Qwest Center in Omaha.

Tim Weiser, Kansas State: He and university president John Wefald have seats at center court, behind the scorer’s table, at Bramlage Coliseum. Sometimes, he sits with KSU’s associate AD for operations at center court at the scorer’s table.

Joe Castiglione, Oklahoma: Sits at courtside table on south baseline of Noble Center.

Jamie Pollard, Iowa State: Sits six rows up from the bench at Hilton Coliseum. He sometimes mingles with media.

DeLoss Dodds, Texas: Sits in stands at Erwin Center. He mingles in all areas – with press and donors.

Gerald Myers, Texas Tech: Sits in athletic director suite and serves as host to his guests at United Sprint Arena.

Mike Holder, Oklahoma State: Sits in stands at Gallagher-Iba Arena. He has donated enough money to have two seats on the floor. He visits with donors and potential donors before the game and at halftime.

Bill Byrne, Texas A&M: Sits in stands at Reed Arena. Sometimes mingles with media.

Mike Alden, Missouri: Sits with his family in the stands at Mizzou Arena.

Ian McCaw, Baylor: Sits in stands with family members at Ferrell Center. Also mingles and spends some time in media room.

Fun fact: The Omaha World-Herald (citing stats guru Ken Pomeroy) reports that Nebraska plays the shortest lineup of any BCS conference team and ranks 317th out of 341 Div. I schools in height. The Huskers do have 6-foot-11 Aleks Maric, but then go short with 6-5 Ade Dagunduro, 6-4 Ryan Anderson, 5-7 Cookie Miller, 5-11 Jay-R Strowbridge and 5-11 Steve Harley.

Just 15 can make trip: KU walk-ons Brennan Bechard and Chase Buford did not suit up for the game. They sat behind KU’s bench in the stands after driving to the game on their own. Big 12 rules allow for just 15 players to make trips to games as part of the official traveling party. KU walk-ons Buford, Bechard and Brad Witherspoon will take turns skipping league road games. Red-shirt Brady Morningstar, as a scholarship player, will make the road trips, as will Conner Teahan, who has emerged as a deadly three-point threat. As a fourth-year player, Matt Kleinmann also will make all the trips.

Stats, facts: Aleks Maric had a five-stitch cut on his eyelid after banging his head on the floor. … NU had a 12-game homecourt win streak snapped. … It was NU’s first sellout since Creighton came to Lincoln for the second game of the 2006-07 season. … Paul Velander scored all of his eight points in the first half. … KU outrebounded NU, 37-24.

Tough league: The Big 12 went 133-40 in nonconference contests. It is one of two leagues, along with the ACC, with all of its teams above .500.

Morris twins excelling: Incoming KU players Marcus and Markieff Morris of Philadelphia are performing well for Apex Academies in Pennsauken, N.J. Markieff, 6-10 and 220 pounds, is averaging 34 points and 15 rebounds per game, according to Rivals.com; Marcus, 6-8, 230, averages 33 points and 11 rebounds. The team is off to an 11-1 start.

“We love watching them play,” Marcus told Rivals.com, referring to the Jayhawks. “We love how they get up and down the court as a group. Kansas is a running group, and that fits our style of play. My brother and I are definitely excited about next year. We can’t wait to put on the uniform and start our careers.”
